Pickles by Brian Crane for August 29, 2021

At least you won’t have to worry about swelling in your teeth, Earl!

One morning I didn’t even realize I’d rubbed Tartar Control Crest into my scalp until after the toothbrush full of Brylcreme hit my gums.

there are even times when I’m so half-asleep that I put body wash in my hair and shampoo on my body

I was gonna send this to my hubby but decided it would be wiser not to.

Focus Earl Focus ;-)

So where did he put the toothpaste? Ewwww.

I have been saying that for the last twenty years, and I still don’t like it!

This toothpaste works good, but it tastes awful.

T M I Earl!!

It’ll shrink your gums, Earl. Eventually no more problem with your teeth. You won’t have any.

Preperation H toothpaste? VOMITROCIOUS!

As usual, Roscoe’s look is priceless. :D

It seems like it was just yesterday when he was a young codger.

If you open the mirror, you won’t have to see yourself.

Another Panda Tip, to start the day off right!

Just don’t mistake the Icy-Hot for prep-H.

Earl, it’s nature’s way of demanding, “COFFEE FIRST!”

I started researching LASIK after using the dogs’ shampoo, because it was the only one of the 11 bottles in the shower that had SHAMPOO in large friendly letters. Worth every penny.

Ha! Maybe now his trap will be closed for the day!

I invented a new toothpaste that contains food particles. It’s for people who can’t eat between brushings.

Worse would be if you used the toothpaste where you should have used the Prep H. And applied it with an electric toothbrush.

This happened to me (not Prep H, but some non-toothpaste substance in a tube) upon arriving in a hotel in Quito and I immediately warned my traveling companion “Don’t drink the water here!”

It’s true. One suddenly wonders where it all went and how one got so old so fast. Must not have been paying attention.

Reality can be a bitter pill, but it beats dying young. https://www.gocomics.com/offthemark/2021/08/29?ct=v&cti=678686

yuk

I’m surprised when I look in the mirror and see my grandmother.

I know the feeling, Earl….

Who is that old person in the mirror? That is my daily question.

And he had his glasses on!

Ugh…Preparation H?

As a young boy, I was prone to sleep walking. One night my grandmother found me peeing in the bathroom basin! She let me finish then steered me back to bed.

When cartoonist Brian Crane started this strip, Earl Pickles was a lot older than he was. Not so much any more!

and now we know Earl has hemmorhoids. ugh..

Surprised Earl still has teeth that aren’t kept in a glass of water overnight.

Well, at least your tongue won’t swell or bleed.

Time for a new PRESCRIPTION.????

I did that once……except it was shaving cream.

Roscoe is just wonderful today frames , my very favorite is the last one with the eyes looking at us .

Was still half asleep once and accidently grabbed a bottle of Lysol instead of mouthwash. Didn’t take long to realize my mistake.

That’ll shrink his tongue, ugula, and stop rolling his ‘Rs’ for a few days.

Come on now Earl, you never had the world at your feet.

at least his gums won’t be swollen.

It’s all soap. Does the same thing.

This is a Bloom County gag....

Put that down, Earl, you don’t know where it’s been.

Right Guard on the hair. Aqua Net on the pits. Neither one worked very well that way. Then there was the time my husband came home really really tired and sprayedScrubbing Bubbles on his toothbrush…woke him right up

great for tightening the gums..

Don’t ya’ just HATE it when that happens??

Every birthday is the best thing ever. Look at the alternative!

I once, when with a boyfriend, went into the dark bathroom to get some vaseline, however, it was vapor rub. Boy was he surprised! Forgot about that memory until today’s funny!

This comic has always been fun to me, I find it gets funnier the older I get.
