Pickles by Brian Crane for April 15, 2021

Come on Earl tell Opal what you really want. You never know she might go for the Gas Barbecue. The other two i don’t think so.

I know what I’d be thinking…and I wouldn’t get that either…

Looks like we’re going to be buying 20 yards of bark dust. Applied with a blower. I can hear the little dollar-birds flying away…

Opal sees the big picture and thinks big!

Earl is bogged down in trivialities and can’t see the importance of being Opal!!

Opal___ BORING…

Earl just didn’t fully understand the context of the question.

The context was in Opal’s mind.

Once she said it, then he knew what he was actually (supposed to be) thinking.

T’is the season. Seed, fertilize, mulch, repeat.

Opal the mulch is right beside the Cow Bell ;-)

Bet they get the mulch! Maybe the gas grill later!

Yeah, sure you were, Earl!

OMG! We just had a hundred bags of the stuff delivered. . .

There is no sense even commenting , none at all . : (

Can’t have too much mulch.

My wife buys “units” of mulch, 7 1/3 cubic yards, twice a year.

How mulch will it cost?

I got a new computer. The wife gets mulch!! And she’s happy :-)

I don’t want a set of golf clubs. If I can buy the Delhi Golf Club, I’ll be satisfied.

As long as Opal is included with your pipe dreams….FAT chance…

LilG has had me buying bag after bag of mulch. They are heavy and awkward to move about. We used to buy it in bulk, but not lately

He’s still in the acquisitive phase; she’s comfortable with her home.

I always let my wife answer her own questions first. Saves me a lot of stress trying to figure out the ‘right’ answer.

Earl knows his choices are very limited!

Tickets to the Superbowl? When did he get rich?

I don’t think mulch of his answer… ☺

You can’t have a new set of Golf Clubs until you learn to use the old set!

Yes, yes, the blaze-pink color.

I’ve been watching earl for a while and I’m pretty sure he’s never golfed. or anything else for that matter.

Unfortunately reality always sets in.

That is so true tho

I just saw this strip in my Pickles book. It sure is better in color.

Opal: “You know what I think we ought to get?

”Earl: “A divorce”?

Given I laid out 22.5 cubic of feet of mulch today and will lay out another 33.5 tomorrow, I can sense what she is thinking. But man, I would have rather spent the day doing anything else to be honest.

why do wives love mulch so much?
