Can’t make you happy Opal

Elderly married folks helping each other is benefiting the community.

If he said “big old lady”, she might think that he was talking about her weight.

give back to what you care about

And he lifts his feet when you vacuum. What more do you want?

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.” ~First Corinthians 13:4

You must have a death wish Earl.

Oh yeah. The little old lady doesn’t seem to have appreciated the help.

She’s not little.

Is he smirking in that last panel? It made me laugh!

You’re no spring chicken Opal! Just saying!

And today I helped her with her memory.

Still counts!

Point made.

Little?

Digging your own hole, huh, Earl?

Almost spit my coffee on that one

That still counts!

“Your point?”

Look at that grin……. OH MY GOD……LOL..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! Cracked me up.

Still counts. However, hanging out around a crossing all day may be considered suspicious.

She could volunteer if she wants to, unless she doesn’t mind hearing Earl complain about it. She doesn’t HAVE to drag Earl along.

And a grumpy old lady at that.

Once a Boy Scout, always a Boy Scout.

Why did it take 6 boy scouts to help the little old lady cross the street?

Because that’s not where she was going.

LOL! Earl always has an answer ready on the tip of his tongue….you would have to living with Opal!

Opal, what’s the problem here? He said he helped a Little Old Lady. While you might complain about being called Old, he did call you Little so it all evens out in the wash.

Doing some volunteer work would be good for them. I enjoy mine very much, and have, over the past 20 years, been involved in 3 different volunteer situations. I think therapy dog work has turned out to be the best fit for my beagle and I at this time in our lives.

Earl’s bravery/ foolishness knows no bounds

Mutual aid.

Still counts!

Practice helps to see the grin under the hair.

Besides, who will help Earl cross the street after he over extends himself.

It counts! I cared for my wife for the last two years of her life. Wrecked my back, abandoned my business and eventually lost the love of my life but totally worth it .

“That was no lady. That was my wife.” Rim-shot.

Although—-she doesn’t look so little.

love the smirk on earl in the last panel!!

Well he did give her the choice of being dragged by the hair or carried over the shoulder.

That is funny…really funny!

Love the mustache smile in the last panel! Go Earl! LOL

Sounds like here with me. My hubby is disabled, yet mid May I had a bad walking accident, had two dogs with me and my daughter, I fell, daughter helped me up as I could not stand, later trip to hospital ER found out which we did not know hospital does not work on fracture from that fall lower femur above the hip, I did get appointment for Advanced Orthopedics, Dr. fracture has to heal on its own, no cast no surgery, my hubby has to help me up, then my adult kids has to, 12th of July 2nd x-ray,, really praying healed then therapy. Daughter and man found the location caused my fall, I never want this again. My muscles are hurting.

Hilarious!

It kind of looks as though the corner of Earl’s moustache is slightly curled, in the last panel, in what looks like a sassy smirk. :)

Opal is old but she sure isn’t little.

It still counts!
