Pickles by Brian Crane for May 06, 2023

Well you tried Earl. You just misread the label.

Better not eat a Sickers.

My guy has a habit of doing that, he adds/subtracts letters from words especially words he’s never seen before. He’ll also rearrange letters. I’ve wondered if it’s some sort of dyslexia or something

Next week is teacher appreciation week at my grandson’s school. They suggest that on Monday, the kids give their teacher a candy bar. I said he should give her a payday.

What the L?

Earl’s my hero!

I doubt that Earl ever eats anything healthy.

Yep, close enough Opal!

The astronomer stays smart by eating brain food—-the Milky Way bar and the Mars bar.

Oh what the L is the difference?

Do they still make Heath bars?

Why would Opal demnad to know what he is eating? It is none of her business. What a nag.

Earl has good taste in candy bars. Love those and Skor bars.

My “pure” protein bars are just high (20 g) protein candy bars.

When I was a pre-teen, I recall my grandfather bought me occasional Heath Bars.

I’m with Earl.

Close enough, Earl.

“Healthy Choice” isn’t necessarily always a healthy choice. Eating too much of it will never be a healthy choice.

What the L?

Oh my…..LOVE me a Heath bar! Best tasting toffee for a mass produced product

I read it that way all through my childhood.

I haven’t been there in years, but in the 1960’s, the best greasy burgers in Waco, Texas were to be had at a place called Health Camp. It’s still there.

YUM!

Remember, Earl, ‘CLOSE only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades’.

BEST Comic today !!

Earl needs new glasses.

Spelling matters… but we’ll ignore it this time

Close but no cigar!

I think Opal’s jealous. Probably went to find one of her own. I sure would.

They gave me the heathes.

There used to be a candy called “flicks”, kind of like Hershey Kisses, but sold in a cardboard tube. Me and my immature friends thought it absolutely hilarious when we noticed that if you connected the bottom leg of the “L” with the bottom of the “I”, it spelled a naughty word. Yes, we altered a few store displays. Weren’t we so clever? I cringe at some of the things I did as a child.

Close enough!

Heath? Health? What the L is the difference?

I love Heath Bars. They have been around forever!

Works for me.

Question is……. WHERE DID HE GET IT.?

Could go get that similar “sports” bar…..SCORE a.k.a. Skor bar

He’ll eat the Heath Bar just for the L of it.

I think she should just leave the old man alone for once.

She should just leave the old man alone for once.

She should just leave the old man alone for once.

“Close enough!”, very funny, got a good laugh…

At least it wasn’t an organic Heather Bar

Not close, but very far away.

Earl, I’ve been known to willfully misread that label; accidentally on purpose ;-)

knew a pair of brothers growing up, one was named Heath and the other Reese, always wondered if they were named for candy
