Good description Nelson. Opal and Earl do this often. Talking to each other, but neither one is listening. Happens to couples sometimes that have been married as long as they have. You may find out some day.
My mom had very consistent taste about her clothing, more as she aged. She wore a dress and flat shoes; wore an apron often. The fabric colors and patterns were easily recognizable. Perhaps not so oddly, her taste was very like her motherâs. When gramma was in her 80s and mom was in her 50s or so, they were sometime confused for each other. If either of them found something âexactly the same as what she was wearingâ sheâd quite likely be pleased to buy a spare
I know people like this. Weâve neighbors, three sisters. When they get going, and there are only two of us trying to listen, yes, itâs like three tv shows at once. Actually there are five sisters. The other two are married, but all live within a few kilometers. Birthdays and holiday meals are indescribable.
When I was a kid, we would go to my grandmotherâs house and all Momâs sisters and brother would be there. They would all talk at once and somehow they would all hear each other????
Then Pearl said, âOpal, put your top back on and letâs go home.â Unfortunately Earl, they give a maximum of about 14 years then break your heart, again, again, and again.
There are a couple of old guys that sit at the counter at the Cafe. If you get lucky enough to sit between them you have to look forward, lean your head right or left to acknowledge.

Note that Earl first calls the dog a âSheâ and then a âHeâ . . .

Opal picked out another lavender polka-dot top??

Opal was not talking to you, Nelson, she was talking to Earl. Earl was talking to you so he didnât have to agree with that inane story.

Thatâll happen when you tear open an package of malathion, Earl.

Itâs two conversations talking with my husband-mine/his. We are hardly ever on the same page.

Earlâs story was more interesting, although Opal had a strong finish.

I am so glad that the neutered (he she it) dead dog doesnât rip up the packages anymore.

Judging by Earlâs conversation, I donât think he was wondering, Opal!

Dog was a girl in panel 3, but then a boy in panel 5?
