Pickles by Brian Crane for April 09, 2021

Why do you even try Earl. You know full well that you can’t fix anything.

And will Opal have to pay for a plumber to come to fix Earl’s mess? Maybe…

I will work on carpentry or roofs and I will work on electrical problems and I will work on gas lines and I know my limitations and have my plumber on speed dial.

Stick with the “Maybe”, Earl. Opal may take it as a “Yes”, but it could give you an out later on.

As the paper gets higher and higher…give it up Earl! She’ll nag you to death…

GEEZUS, Earl: plumbing and electricity (and the car)—ya never fool around with those things. . .

Another example of Crane’s fine draftsmanship, is the newspaper.

All I can say is, poor Earl!

If you know the answers, why even ask? I hate this particular game.

Do you enjoy sleeping on the sofa? Maybe

Whoever said “indoor plumbing is a blessing” never had to work on it!

Probably works the same as “maybe”.
