I never had any siblings. It took me years and years to get over the resentment of being an only child. If one of my friends complained about his or her sibling(s) I would get annoyed with them and tell them to be thankful for who they had. You miss out on a lot in life when you are an only child. Some think it is wonderful—it never has been for me.
With the off and on every week daily/Sunday reruns, anyone want to bet Brian Crane may be ending the Pickles comic strip after over 3 decades by around Summer 2021?
My only grandson is under the pressure of 21 generations of great-grandads expecting him to have a male child to carry on our direct line of the family name.
For me when I grew up just the four of us, my dad had 2 sons one turned bad we girls was not safe around him, grown up married we only have 2 kids if over I wanted one or 2 more, family history and now no grandkids. My sister/husband no children not be choice.

“I’m sorry, Nelson. It won’t work since we don’t age on this comic strip.” (Oh wait. Maybe an adoption could work.)

We are two grandparents who think the author of Pickles must live in our house, We came up with a question today, why have we not seen Nelson’s dad?

I can carry on, but will need unlimited capital to do so. You do your part, and I will do mine.

It’s a little early but Earl just told Nelson to go forth and multiply. And that greatness will need at least.. several wives.

Yep, ‘glory’ and ‘greatness’ are among the first words that come to mind when i think of the Pickles family. NOT!!!
