Pickles by Brian Crane for July 16, 2021

You’re not scoring any brownie points here Earl. If you can read Roscoe’s mind then take his advice. Run.

Did she give him a card on their anniversary?

Men are a little dumb sometimes.

Mom: “You must say something nice to Mrs. Magruder.”

Kid: “Gee Mrs. Magruder, you sure don’t sweat much for such a fat lady!”

Mom: (face palm)

If Roscoe could only speak…Earl wouldn’t listen.

You didn’t win too many spelling bees as a kid did you Earl?

Roscoe is proving once again that his kind is indeed man’s best friend!

Cut him some slack, Opal.

Go away Earl. Far far away.

I’m with the dog on this one!

Roscoe just watched “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”

Time for Earl to serenade Opal with a heartfelt chorus of “Pooger Shy Bunny Hunch”.

Should’a taken a shower this morning.

Roscoe, good advice!!!

Mother in Law: “I take a terrible picture” Me: “You don’t look too bad”MIL: “So I do look a little bad huh” True story- I should have ran away!

Opal what did you get Earl for the anniversary ? That is a two way street ;-)

My computer nags me reminding me of important occasions.

It may say “sweety”, but if Earl’s handwriting is like mine, I can understand how Opal can see “sweaty”…

I think he meant schweddy.

Isn’t English a peculiar language?

Lame Earl, does it again! OY

Pronounce the word ’’rough’’ … now ’’through’’ … and that’s just the tip of the eyesburgh.

First , I must admit that is how I would have spelled " it " I’m terrible that way . But what a great cartoon from Brian today , the lovable Roscoe in the first and fourth frames . I love love the " thought " in the forth frame …." run away "

At least he didn’t spell pie with a G.

It appears SHE missed it too or he would have known last month!

I have a crepe cookbook bought in France on vacation. It was divided in sections for “savory pancakes” and “sweat pancakes”.

Roscoe made the whole strip.

Rosco’s one smart dog ROFL!!!

I find Earl more and relatable as time goes on..

What will she do with his remains?

Sorry Earl, there’s no Spell Checker on handwritten notes.

Run as fast as you can Earl! Your life may depend on it! ;o]

T’was the anniversary of the last time he sent a card, was a month late that time too. Cardinal mistake though with the typo.. that’s why I keep my script so messy that spelling it the least of the problem.

The dog learns the husband not so fast.

Good advice Roscoe.

I loathe you, Sweaty, with all my fart.

Earl listen to Roscoe!

Poor Roscoe, I bet he never gets a night to himself.

Run away NOW!

Well, she does spend a lot of time over a hot stove baking him chocolate chip cookies.

Autocorrupt just corrected another card.

“I meant to write ‘Dear Sweaty Palm’… "

So, Opal missed it, too? No card for Earl last month?

Earl run fast away.

As Penny told Raj: “Run to India!”

Earl, “But I’m not from India….am I?”

Attention to detail counts. A man went to Miami for a sales convention. He wrote a postcard and mailed it to his wife. At the bottom, he wrote, “…wish you were here”. But he left the ‘e’ off of ‘here’.

Not much different from many yearbook memories: “To a real sweat girl; have a bit……..en summer. See you in the fall.”

Run away! Run away! (Monty Python, Search for the Holy Grail)

It is the thought that counts, I think

But we love them anyway.

Opal needs to remember two things…it’s the thought that counts AND it’s better late than never.
