Pickles by Brian Crane for March 13, 2022

Can’t wait to hear Earl’s ranking of how much Nelson loves his grandfather.

She’s fishing for complements.

If he goes out for a sport in high school, he’ll have to give 110%.

Gramma shouldn’t press her luck like that. That was a little too much.

How much does she love him?

What about 3000?

Opal you got the points why did you keep moving the goalposts ?

“A milliony zilliony gajillian!”

Roscoe , makes this one just great , the third and the fifth panels are just precious : )

Imagine if the CEO of Google did that. The Google number is 1 followed by 100 zeroes.

inflation

Nelson needs to learn about percent.

“I love you to the moon” is the current fashion

I always told my kids and grandchildren I love them to the moon and back….

That’s it, Opal— Negate your grandson’s compliment, and make him fee inadequate.

Reminds me of when McGovern said he supported Tom Eagleton 1000%. Are any of you old enough to remember that and what happened next?

My Italian Grandma knew we loved her. We we’re always hugging her. My dad’s mother on the other hand was a witch.

Opal must be feeling rather needy today….

Right on, Nelson. You’re learning when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em.

Why can’t you just take a compliment and be happy…????

Units, Grandma, what units and scale are we talking? Percentage, 1 to infinity … The problem comes when Grandma and Grandpa compare notes. Fortunately, real love is not a zero sum game (as I tried unsuccessfully to explain to my ex-wife).

A googolplex grandma, plus one (because mathematicians say so).

My mom used to sing a song, I love you a bushel and a peck. Always seemed to be enough.

Smart kid, knows when to leave!

Just take the win.

Inflation is a big problem!

I would have said “Oh thank you!” and given him a big hug. Opal’s been living with Earl too long.

His first response should have been (100) percent!

Gramma’s getting greedy and besides Nelson can’t count any higher.

This is another of his “recycled” ones.
