Pickles by Brian Crane for April 14, 2020

Double standard, ageist style.

drat, eh, Earl?

As long as it doesn’t have those horrible onion things sprinkled on it, it might be okay.

“Equal justice under grandmaw.”

Actually, he likes it but wanted a cookie too.

When you are your own cook the only one you have to please is yourself :-)

Opal reminds me of a beloved great-aunt, long gone to her reward.

following up on yesterday’s (https://www.gocomics.com/pickles/2020/04/13?ct=v&cti=2208697) cartoon…

It’s only cute when a little kid does it.

You are supposed to know enough to keep your mouth shut Earl! Nelson is forgiven as he has not learned that yet!

Poor Earl! He was betting on a cookie….but instead, Opal used the closest thing she had…

Me want cookie!!

The rules must be different for older people.

Okay, inquiring minds wanna know: is there a broccoli casserole, and, if so, what’s in it? I know about green bean casserole. . .my favorite way to eat broccoli is whipped with cauliflower and butter ( and a LITTLE salt, if you prefer) piled on a baked ptato with 1/4 cheese melted over the top.. Got the idea from Wendy’s fast food. . .

Wives want us guys to be honest—-until we are!

Broccoli..mmm!

My wife once made a broccoli casserole with turkey in it. My 10 year old daughter ( now 40 years old) called it “waste of good turkey casserole”. My wife never made it again.

The difference between ‘honesty’ and ‘Honestly!’

Daughter trying to get grandson to eat broccoli. “Look at the cute little trees, you can eat them” Grandson – “That’s not a tree, that’s BROCCOLI and I’m not eatiin it!”

Problem is, Earl, she hates YOU! She’s just being honest about it here!

“Waddya want? … A cookie?”

If Opal’s broccoli casserole is anything like my mom’s, it’s truly vile. Mom was an excellent cook, but that was one thing I couldn’t choke down.

Earl, you should have seen that one coming!

only applies to grandkids. Husbands OTOH have to eat what wife cooks, no complaints allowed

It’s not the same when your HUSBAND says it, dear Earl!

Age discrimination!! Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe.

Grandkids get spoiled. Granddads, not so much.

I was gonna suggest Earl thank Nelson for taking one for the team, but Earl took it the hard way.
