Pickles by Brian Crane for December 14, 2022

What’s the matter Earl. You can’t get along with Opal’s sister. Say it isn’t so.

Heh. It’s like Kenny running from Satan.

Load up on the bean burritos.

He shoulda put it on backwards.

The New York Times may say you’re stylish, Earl. (That’s what they recently “proclaimed” about hoodie-wearing John Fetterman.)

I have sometime worn a hoodie in the house in order to keep my head warm in the temperature Spouse prefers at night. (And I take hot water bottles to bed).

Ready to take roscoe for a long walk

She must be an icy wtch.

Question answered firmly

Hey Opal, you were right!

Out of sight … Out of mind ….

Earl and Pearl were engaged at one point.

Storm Warning: His Twister-in-Law is approaching!

I guess they’re too old to do mother-in-law jokes.

Hide and seek, huh?

POOR EARL

Roscoe wakes up just in time for the comedy show…

Roscoe makes this cartoon something better as usual : )

He ought to wear more hoodies. He looks like a Giants or a Cowboys fan.

Nooo! Another Boeing dinner

Earl must have at least 1 annoying friend to invite over whenever Pearl is on the menu.

Time to catch a game at the sports bar.

My wife may have spent time with old girl friends of mine (actually only one, she only knew two and the latter would not talk to her after she felt that my wife stole me from her) but she never invited them over to the house while I was there. Of course, they were not her sister either.

I’m lucky! My wife and I BOTH hate her sister!

Yah could go in the other room, Earl. . .she prolly doesn’t want to see you any more than you want to see her. . .

Works for brothers-in-law too.

Time to break out the Jack Daniels

I wear a hoodie inside all the time from about November through March.

Good move Earl

thought it was not fashionable unless his pants were under his but cheeks?

You know Earl, if you involved yourself with friends, volunteered, etc. You could have an excuse for not being there for dinner.

Earl needs to get with the times.. get one of those virtual reality goggle things and immerse yourself alone on some tropical island. (Earl needs the happily married version and not the one for 18 year old boys)

Doesn’t she recognize serendipitous coincidences?

The Trevor Noah look!

She enjoys his discomfort too much.

He knows cold when he feels it.

Well, lots of we senior seniors have turned down our thermostats. In my case, I broke out all of my deer hunting garb. The 2% investment growth of the 2000s and Housing Market crash did not help what we are now all facing. Of course, the double-digit inflation of the ’70s trained some of us in advance.

Earl is definitely Old School

Amusing.

Roscoe looks like he’s scared of Opal’s sister too.

He could leave for a while, but a passive aggressive likes to share their issues.
