Pickles by Brian Crane for November 07, 2020

Opal and Earl are talking to each other. Neither one is listening however.

I swear Brian Crane is listening to my house somehow…

The trick to milking almonds is figuring out which are female. After that it’s easy.

They hire elves with teeny tiny little hands to do the milking. But it’s REALLY HARD to get them to hold still while you milk ’em.

Tiny little hands reach around those almond udders and squeeeeeeeeeeeeze

Have you ever been engaged in a conversation with someone who is droning on and on. You basically tune them out. Suddenly the other person senses you are not listening and says, “What have I been saying?” BUSTED!

I wonder how they do milk an almond.

Once you do milk them they are happy, have you heard of “Almond Joy”?

Looks like Roscoe does too!

Their conversation sounds more like my texting with friends. I’ve changed subjects twice waiting on a reply.

Roscoe just wants to know when the next treat will be coming :-)

“nonversations”…got to remember that one!

I think that’s in every “Pluggers” home?

Milking an almond, 1] find lactating females, 2]hooking up the milking machine to the tiny nipples is the tough part.

This may be the best Pickles strip ever…

The both CANT hear the other …..

Well, Opal, it’s a climaxing technique.

Opal and Earl need an interpreter to talk to each other.

They even made the dog smile.

I always read Pickles, Pluggers, and Dilbert after reading the news — keeps me sane.

It’s juice! Almond JUICE! No mammaries on an almond.

NO! I DONT. NEED HEARING AIDS!!!!

Dueling soliloquies!

Seen on a recent tee-shirt; Yet despite the look on my face, you’re still talking. . . .

The saving grace is their conversations will never end in arguments.

Edward’s dog?

Well, Erben, Here’s Roscoe to soothe your sadness on this day!

Great word coinage!

Almond milk isn’t milk. It’s nut juice.

One step closer to senility….

My sons have done that Take turns talking on completely different subjects.

Daughter-in-law doesn’t understand why older son likes to visit me on Sundays because we argue. We do it pleasantly.

“Nonversation” is an excellent word.

The reason so many marriages fail is due to spouses not listening to each other. Ongoing open communication is what will make a marriage strong.

“Non-versation” – I am totally remembering that.
