Pickles by Brian Crane for April 20, 2021

Having a little Jell-o with your whip cream Earl.

Gotta completely cover the pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

we Latter-day Saints — like Brian Crane, me, and a few GoComics users — sure stereotypically like our JELL-O

I believe Jello lack significant nutrition except for the sugar. If you know how it is made you may have second thoughts about eating it. Whipping cream, on the other hand, is………….

That’s the way my son used to treat his slices of pumpkin pie. The joke was that he had a little pie with his whipped cream.

At the church I used to go to, the pastor was obsessed with whipped cream. At a Thanksgiving event held by the church, I saw him take a piece of pumpkin pie, then spray on so much whipped cream that you couldn’t even see the pie any more. It just looked like a plate of whipped cream.

Not too fond of jello. Love whipped cream.

Whipped cream is great on milk shakes !

Have not had jello in a long time !

I hate squirty cream….

Dad called jello nervous pudding. And he warned me to never eat hospital jello, which he said was always green. They called it lime, but he said he couldn’t be sure. In the 1940’s whipped cream usually was made by hand because the canned stuff was not around much. I have never liked commercial stuff since that time.

Where’s Muffin? Most cats I’ve known would come running at the sound of the whipped cream can.

I think that only counts on pie… oh, who am I kidding, keep it pilling.

It seems in the final panel, Opal is looking up and saying “Lord, help me not to kill this man!”

Slurp! Oooh it’s sooo good!

Finger jello and canned whip cream on the nightstand.

That’s how I like the whipped cream on my pumpkin pie.

Too much sugar?

My mom made lime jello with chocolate pudding on top – refreshingly delicious!

Just squirt it down you throat – like my kids did.

right

I am going to bake Alice B. Toklas brownies for dessert tonight. Happy 420!!!

I do that with pumpkin pie. LOL

I thought for sure that Opal was going to give Earl a “halo”. She still might…

That’s the way it’s best!

You can’t beat the real stuff. The fake stuff lays in the belly like a bowling ball. I’d rather take the minute of beating real cream tinged with real maple syrup. Yum.

When I was a kid (and yes, even I was a kid once upon a time), my Mother used to combine “Fruit Cocktail” (a fanciful name if there ever was one) with Jello. In those days, canned whipped cream wasn’t readily available, and Mother used “Dream Whip,” a whipped topping mix in a box, to which you added milk and vanilla extract and whipped yourself. In any case, the whipped topping sort of hid what was beneath, but you knew what was there. The sight of that limp “fruit” suspended in an impossibly colored congealed wobbly goo always made me somewhat uneasy, rather like the bodies frozen in ice I saw much later in the movie “Logan’s Run” (MGM – 1976). Admittedly, I was a strange child.

Hey, he did say please!

That is not how you hold the can unless you want to spray air and cream all over his shirt!

“Yes, Opal, I want whipped cream on my jello, but you just put it on my lasagna!”

You can get a little huff of nitrous from that Reddi-Wip canister, Earl. That’s if the LDS is cool with it.

That was so like my mom, she did not mind jell-o she loved whip cream.For me Last week I had to eat soft food including jell-o. teeth issues, too long story, yesterday had to go to Oral Surgeon, result 2 teeth had to be pulled. This week soft food. I have 2 kinds of jell-o to eat on.

Whipped cream is good by itself.

I think squirting two blobs on his glasses would have done the job.

Save it for π

Someone send Opal the recipe for Jello mousse (remember that, jello and cool whip mixed together?)

my husband liked pumpkin pie with his whipped cream.

I remember one time drinking iced tea, adding so much sugar to the tea that my Mommy asked me if I’d like some tea with my sugar. I replied, yes, please, it makes it so much easier to drink the sugar! =^________^=

That is exactly how the correct amount is determined. It’s a universal measurement system, and applies to sour cream on a baked potato, whipped cream on a slice of pumpkin pie, etc. If you can still see the food item under the topping, you need more topping.

I’m with Earl on this one.

I had an old Uncle who used to say Jello is the closest thing to nothing you can eat.

Duh

just eat it Earl.

My mom used to put a can of mixed fruit in our Jello. It was really good.
