Pickles by Brian Crane for March 14, 2022

Oh, go on Earl. Has the kid been sneezing lately?

maybe Roscoe would like Nelson’s cupcake instead

It’s okay. Kid spit isn’t any more toxic than mom-spit.

Did Opal teach Nelson that trick?

Like the guy went to a nursing home to visit a friend, and while there ate some peanuts that were in a dish there. Very unhappily he found out they were peanut M&Ms that his friend had licked the candy off as the peanuts were too hard to chew!

At least he didn’t have Roscoe lick them.

It’s like adding love.

Spit shine for cupcakes.

Roscoe helped too!

Shake and Bake … And I helped ! … ;-)

ICK!

No more or less than a kiss from Nelson.

Yeah…….. right

Episode of Eight is Enough, Tom Bradford the father was upset and his daughter Susan who was 20 then brought him a peanut butter and mayo sandwich and he finally admitted to her that he hated those sandwiches but when you are a parent and your 5 year old brings you something to cheer you up that she made out of love, you sit there and eat every bite..

Granma Opal probably let him lick all the bowls. That was my favorite part of “helping” the cook when I was little. He, no doubt, decided that the cupcakes could use a licking, too, after Opal left the kitchen.

Nelson has learned about being a good cook or baker – add that personal touch.

At least he didn’t have Roscoe lick them.

Yuk!

As always, don’t ask if you cannot handle the answer. (He’s lucky the answer was not “having the dog lick them”.)

That’s my boy, a chip off the old block.

That’s how I do it!

Roscoe seems to be volunteering to handle the next batch.

And grandpa probably didn’t even appreciate it.

Yes, grandpa, I’m home from school because I was exposed to the chicken pox.

LOL! Years ago a good friend made a delicious homemade red velvet cake and she cut me three generous slices to take home. I announced that I licked them all so no one touch, and my brother and sister absolutely grossed out… didnt phase my father though…..

How old is Nelson?

Don’t know whether Roscoe is waiting for something to hit the floor in the last panel or doing the Muttley snicker

Sadly I’ve seen that and worse in restaurant kitchens.

Happy π day.

I’ve been doing it wrong??

Looks like Roscoe approves of the licking.

Gross!

I’ve heard a story of an adult walking in on a kid taking the (unlit) candles off a birthday cake, licking off the frosting, and sticking them back in
