Pickles by Brian Crane for April 27, 2021

Not very observant are you Earl.

if you want cheese on both sides of the meat in your sandwich, Earl, do it yourself

My spouse never short-cheesed me even once. Possibly because with few exceptions, I’ve made my own sandwiches… and I generally prefer them sans fromage anyway.

‘Short cheesing’. Interesting way of describing it!

I’d rather have that than being short changed !

Short Cheese, son of Cochise.

Opal: “You’re welcome.”

Short Cheesing ? ok

Short mustarding a big NoNo!

Well, you are a little TOO cheesy sometimes, Earl.

She did not want to “bind you up” with too much cheese, Earl!

Earl’s really cheesed off now.

Earl if you want more cheese go get it .

Not exactly the Earl of Sandwich, are we?

“Oh, I’d rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheeseBut complaining wouldn’t do any good” – from the song “Roy Rogers” – Elton John, Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

I’ll bet Earl is cheesed off about this.

That aint all Earl. I have more to tell.

Forget it , just forget it !

He ain’t heavy! Cheese my brother!

Tv tray, sandwich, drink, and he didn’t have to get up? He’s way past being lazy and into just plain selfish.

Well, she does spread ear-cheese from his pillow on the other side.

For some reason this reminds me of “Cheese it! The Cops!”

What a friend we have in cheeses.

Where did you meat her anyway, Earl.

Let him make his OWN damn sandwich..!!!!!!

I’d rather have meat on both sides of the cheese.

It could be worse. She might have forgotten to remove that slender piece of paper between the slices. YUK!

Ok, in future I’ll put cheese on three sides.

Oy! Get up and make it yourself….and clean up!

If there was a next panel, it would have Opal say, “Then get of your lazy a__ _ and make your own crummy sandwiches!”

Are his feet broken? I live in a community where a lot of couples are retired. When the wife is under the weather or out of town or whatever, the other women flock to make meals for the husband. These men can’t even make darn sandwich for themselves. I should start referring to them as ‘earls’. If my husband waited for me to cook or make a sandwich for him, he would have died of starvation 37 yrs ago.

What! He hasn’t been noticing how much cheese has been in his sandwiches his entire marriage??? =^_______^=

That is too funny.

Ok, now this is serious. A man can take many things, but not enough cheese on a sandwich? That’s a problem. :-)

Cheese on both sides of the meat in a grilled cheese with bacon; otherwise, meat on the bottom, cheese on the top, then the spread—so saith Newton’s Fourth or maybe Fifth Law, which has to do with sandwiches.

Earl of sandwich. You could have stopped there. lol

Speak up, my man!

To jse a golfing metaphor, double cheese, being a hjgher standard, would be a birdie. What Opal has been doing is par cheesing you.

I thought everyone knew that you’re supposed to have a slice of cheese on both sides of the meat!

I usually put meat on both sides of the cheese.

There comes a time in every man’s life he realizes he’s been short-cheesed!

Earl is cheesed off. Someone needed to say it.

Attention to detail isn’t Earl’s strong suit.

Shows how the Pickles are of an older generation. Most women today would tell their man to make his own damn sandwich.

Reminds me of the comic where Calvin gives his mom precise instructions on how he wants his sandwich made, so she does the complete opposite…

Don’t like the way she makes the sandwich, Make your own.

is this a new concept of being “cheesed off?”

My husband of almost 54 yrs makes his own sandwiches. That way he gets what he wants.
