Pickles by Brian Crane for October 03, 2022

Remember the Golden Book The Seven Sneezes?

Someone get Earl a kleenex !

Is Earl unable to turn towards the empty chair? He might fall differently.

gesundheit, Earl

My wife sneezes so loudly it is enough to wake the dead. I don’t have much volume when I sneeze. Not sure why we are so different.

NASA wants him to help launch rockets into space.

Darn allergies!

A vivid demonstration by Earl of Newton’s third law of motion: for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

When you sneeze, Earl, you need to cover your … back.

Looks like I have some stiff competition!

Earl is going to need more than a blessing after THAT sneeze.

At least you can lie down and not have to worry about an ambulance (see yesterday’s Pickles)

is he related to to my moms side of the family?

Yo Ho, blow the man down. Sneeze into your elbow Earl. Keep your wife dry and set a good example for the lad.

Well, if you’re going to do something, do it with gusto

I sympathize with Earl. Seasonal allergies. In Autumn, I get the sneezies, with no warning.

HOLY CRAP…….. Is he ALRIGHT..?

Looks like I taught him well. Good job Grasshopper.

Gross!!

Why is it Nelson’s job to cover his food rather than Earl’s job to cover his mouth when he sneezes? Doesn’t he know to sneeze into his inner arm like the rest of us hopefully do?

Now we know why the walls are green

Repeated falls on the back of his head – that might explain a lot.

Jet propelled.

I have had some mind draining sneezes, but never one that hit me like a 45 caliber

That was my dad! I was sure one day he’d take the upstairs down with him!

Ah Choo and smoke too.

That’s a sneeze from his toes….

I resemble that remark!

I sneezed in my sleep last night. Strangest darned thing. First time in my life.

That could be me when I sneeze I really sneeze!

Newton’s third law. He must have gone around observing a lot before declaring that one. Like, looking out the window, what is the reaction for a leaf falling?

and it looks like he passes out after sneezing.

“…and thus a new form of space propulsion was discovered, dear children.”

Reminds me of a book I read to my kids…" ‘Stand Back’ Said the Elephant, ’I’m Going to Sneeze!’"

What does he do… save up?

This applies to me only difference, I turn away from the table and rapid sneeze.

Cover your mouth, Earl. Bury your face in your inside elbow!!!!!

My husband sneezes so violently that he tries to warn me when one is on the way. Pounds the table, stomps the floor…it’s a real hootenanny. And that’s BEFORE the sneeze!

I’ve done that.

I give that a eight.

Looks like he needs concussion protocol

Just like my sneezes.
