Pickles by Brian Crane for October 05, 2022

oh, now Earl’s a fashion police officer?

Sniffing different parts of her body could be romantic. He needs to figure out which part is the problem.

I’m very sensitive to “laundry odors” (aka “perfume”). Spouse, not so much. Last laundry day, she used some kind of “booster” for a stain which was “perfumed”. I ended up with several shirts that made me sneeze. Fortunately, it washed out.

What will she do? Devorce? Separate? MAYBE a different color polka dots? I say a different color!

I hope that Earl is not allergic to violence.

In High School I sat behind a girl who used so much perfume it made my eyes water!

Or, it could be all of the cat hairs on her clothes.

Just where has the lovable " Roscoe " been ?

I’m sure he would be better if she wore waltz dots.

Interesting!!! I’ve mentioned more than once I think it’s odd Earl changes clothes, yet Opal is in the same shirt every single day!! Will that change? Hmmm

Be careful, Earl, it’s nothing to sneeze at!

hardly… :\

Does that mean the polka dots might be eliminated? SMILE

Nice TRY Earl…….. nice try (SMH)

Dose this mean Little Dot Polka grew up to be Opal Pickles?

\\//_

Smell of cigarettes makes me gag. We’re lucky so few goofs still smoke.

Could the artist PLEASE give the old girl a new blouse?

I can’t even go in a fabric shop like Opal….I’m too sensitive to the dyes …..ugh! I buy plain soaps, etc….I don’t need no stinking sprays…

What did I tell you yesterday??

Wait for it………………………………………..

“What is the common denominator here with Earl’s sneezing? OPAL. That’s it Earl, you are allergic to Opal.”

My child likes scented anti-perspirants, scented shampoos and conditioners, and then adds expensive perfumes, which she used to marinate in. I asked her why she bothered with expensive perfumes when she had at any given time 5 different scents going on, including lotions, and she didn’t understand the question. Now in a medical field, she has let up some. I buy as much unscented stuff as I can.

Hang in there, Earl.

Smart thinking Earl

Yep, that’s it Earl…….polka dots??

I can’t handle very many “perfumed” things especially fabric softners.

Time to dust and delouse the ol’ ‘stash Earl. I imagine a little shampoo wouldn’t go to waste either. Then, the kiss test.

Remember, Gilligan and the Skipper went bald because of the laundry powder they were using….

He’s probably allergic to her bunny slippers.

Maybe the heady musk cologne than Opal is wearing.

Interesting reading on the origin or ‘polka dots’. There were taboo until about 1840 because they looked like dreaded skin diseases of the day, small pox, etc. But, when the polka craze began, they were accepted costume. Thus, they were called polka dots for the dance in which they were worn.
