Super , grat images of the Precious Roscoe in todays comic , his right eye in the first panel then followed up by his "bright eyes " in the last two panels are just precious . Great job by Brian in todays comic . Thanks : )
He’s using it as a flypaper swatter to swat any flies that land on his paper. The trick is to reconstruct the missing memory from clues in your environment. I’m not suffering from memory loss, I’m just turning into Perry Mason. :)
Brian, don’t retire. I need my daily dose of “Pickles”! Also, where did you hide the hidden camera in my house? Earl and Opal resemble my wife and I ( or is it the other way around?).

That’s his way of flipping her off.

If he forgot why he’s holding the spatula I would suggest checking the stove…quickly.

That’s a step or two beyond the “why did I come in here” syndrome.

When the smoke alarm goes off, he’ll remember, maybe.

Maybe it’s a fly swatter to him.

This one looks familiar. Either this is a rerun, or Crane did a similar strip not long ago.

Did he buy it at Spatula City?
(Name the movie…)

Earl, you are not in that boat alone.

Some people would say that that tool (technically) is not a spatula but is a turner. Others would say that a turner is a type of spatula.

Roscoe is in serious contention for the best character in this strip!

Alternate response: “This is my sceptre.”
… and perhaps “I am on my throne.”

Yeah, but can he forget what he’s doing before he starts?

Okay, think, spatula in hand, the smell of smoke?? Pancake mix all over your pants?

Spatula? That’s a turner not a spatula.

I always respond, “Killing spiders.” And my wife replies, “Well, scrub it good before you put it back in the drawer.”

“Why are you holding that spatula?” “So I don’t drop it.”

He mistook the spatula for the fly killer…..while making pancakes….

Also, where is the bag of frozen peas that I sent you to get from the basement freezer?

No joke, I lost my very best expensive non-stick frying pan that way. Full inferno by the time I realized it, threw it into the back yard.

Ha! Just like Earl, I can forget what I’ve drawn while I’m drawing it! Time to retire?

Please don’t retire!! Earl and Opal are my husband and me. (We’re in our 70s.) We LOVE your comic strip. It is our absolute fave!!
pbr50138 over 2 years ago
That’s better than Earl using it for a fly swatter.
