Pickles by Brian Crane for November 20, 2020

Opals last statement was a eye opener for Roscoe.

At least Opal didn’t say he was the weakest link.

better not screw up, Earl

I thought he was the pain in her something else!

Pills do have unpleasant side effects, Earl too I guess!

Not possible. Women CAN’T be MORE moody and irritable.

Then give him the pills.

Earl might have something by saying No to pills ;-)

I’m sure that’s not what Nat King Cole was singing….

My wife has had neck/back pain the entire time we’ve been married. Nothing seems to help much or for very long.

My wife’s license plate is “PITA NO1”

Well, no Cauliflower today, so that’s a good thing.

MORE moody & irritable..?? – How is that even POSSIBLE..???

I suspect the pills supply an excuse for Opals usual behavior.

Earls the nagging pain that will never go away…

So the pills make Earl go away? that’s not very wifely of you Opal.

Left yourself wide open for that, Earl.

A long time ago I worked temp at an assembly job. All day the women at the table would just chatter. Often about men/marriage. We came to the conclusion that living in the same home should only be til age 60. Then women should all live together and men should live together. They could stay married (since our society treats married people better financially) and visit on the weekends but really wouldn’t it be so much more peaceful if men could just do what they wanted and women could as well? Guess I’m just an old hippie. I’d live in a community where this could happen.

It’s a family cartoon, else the pain would be a tad lower.

. . .and the wind beneath my waist.

Sorry dear lady, try a “C” fusion. Worked for me. Surgeon told me now I can be hung. I said, already am.

Then give him the pills

Those pills would be muscle relaxants. They do make you moody and irritable because they upset your stomach. My experience anyway.

My mom was prescribed Prozac for a problem, and after a couple months she started to have hallucinations – animals in the house, for example. I discussed it with my Dad, and he said she’d been really nice the last couple days and maybe we should just leave well enough alone.

How many ways can Earl leave her an opening?

His reply, “That’s what I said.”

I am so glad to hear that. I live to get under your skin.

As funny as Pickles can be, there is always the double standard. Its ok for Opal to insult Earl on a regular basis. But apparently its never ok for him to do the same to her.

Now if Earl had said that…
