Pickles by Brian Crane for September 30, 2020

He didn’t track mud into the house, either.

Having just watched a debate, Earl isn’t the only one with that rule.

should Opal take Earl to a specialist to see if he’s getting Alzheimer?

Selective Memory

Arrr! One of my hot buttons. I leave a microscopic fleck of toothpaste on the sink and Spouse claims I leave stuff “all over the vanity”. She doesn’t really mean it that way, but it sure makes me grouchy when she says it. At our ages, there’s very little hope of her finding a change of phrase, but I sure wish she would.

You’re not guilty if you don’t get caught.

When I was a kid my nickname was Pickle. I had gone to the birthday party of a friend and the mother had put a plate of pickles on the table. No one would eat them except me. I cleaned off the entire plate. For several years I did not hear my friends call me Michael or Mike—it was Pickle. One of my friends used an abbreviation—he called me Pick.

Opal 40 years later you try to correct Earl …

looking up as to be saying “Lord, help me not to kill him today”, Opal?

And then, there’s Corollary 1: The older I get, the better I was.

De Jan Jambon regel! En nu eens zien hoeveel Vlamingen deze strip lezen… ;-) :-D

Soooo what happened didn’t happen ? And were is the precious Roscoe today ?

It’s a good thing my wife is messier than I am and our vanity has two sinks.

I gotta remember THAT one.!!

Video and DNA or it didn’t happen.

Seems to be a simple solution here . . . Earl, try better to clean up after yourself. Opal, if you see something that needs cleaning, clean it. For better or worse, you choose to live together. You don’t live alone.

Ask a silly question….

He’s about ten seconds from stepping in it by asking if she’s sure they aren’t hers.

Knit picking at each other’s habits is a sign of boredom….get out for a walk in the park and clear your heads of such petty things…with your masks of course…..

I do not think that Opal will buy that excuse.

ROFLMBO, I did this the other day. I had 2 boxes of hot Tamales. I don’t remember eating one of the boxes. I spend 3 days grilling the kids over who had taken the box. Then while emptying out my trash under my desk, I saw the box. Then realized, I did eat it. yet I have no memory of it. Serves me right for enjoying some hot tamales while watching a movie.

Sounds like Earl could be in the white house.

That’s his story and he is sticking to it.

If YOU believe it, it’s not a lie. George Costanza.

That’s my motto!

who asks a question they know the answer to? anyone?

Earl must have had a career in Quality, “If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen!”

This is my latest motto.

Had to be Earl.. Opal trims in the tub

Why the assumption that its the woman’s job to clean? I cannot imagine leaving anything in my bathroom sink and expecting some bathroom cleaning pixy to come along and clean it to assure that I can be a pig. Disclaimer: I do not live in the White House.

Maybe her whiskers and playing games with him.

Planning a new ceiling?

Earl is my spirit animal.

Now that we see your nose, Opal, go trim those nose hairs!
