Pickles by Brian Crane for July 11, 2023

Earl we all know you’re a little short on smarts.

Apparently Karen wears the pants in their marriage

And a smart man also stays away from a woman kicking into the air, so that he doesn’t get kicked. Or maybe she did kick him … right out the door with one swift kick. Good job Opal!

Even roscoe couldn’t believe he said that

Poor Earl. In the doghouse again.

When will he ever learn?

Not every Karen is a Karen.

The uncouth don’t give a hoot.

That 3rd panel, Roscoe KNOWS that Earl stepped into it!

The last panel says it all!

Life one million, Earl zero.

Intelligent – maybe… smart – definitely not! :D

He will never learn.

And Goethe has no direct descendants.

Seems that Earl misses the better part of this Goethe quote… “The intelligent man finds everything laughable, the sensible man hardly anything.”

This shows that Earl doesn’t know the difference between intelligence and smarts!

He’ll never learn……… NEVER

Give him another 20 years and . . . maybe

Ridiculous does not always mean funny, many times it means infuriating.

I wonder what Roscoe did to be tossed out with Earl.

Last panel: should’ve added a Roscoe thought bubble…“what were you thinking???”

I wise man once said nothing at all.

jokes on her…

she’ll need help to get up off the floor

Roscoe was trying to warn him! He was sweating as he spoke!

Earl will never learn…but then, why should he? It too much fun. This way!

It looks like she’s doing Kegel exercises. Good for bladder control.

Now we know when the term Peddle Pusher was first coined.

Just because it comes to mind does not mean it should come out of your mouth!

I was surprised that Earl knew of Goethe’ existence; as for her, she’ll never change.

Much to my regret, I once laughed at my wife doing yoga. Never again!!!

Her name is Opal

What’s ridiculous is a common way to pronounce Goethe – “GUR” + “tuh”…

o_0 ?

If Roscoe could talk…………..

Be happy Earl that at least Opal is trying. Give it shot, you might live longer.

And, an intelligent man knows when to keep his mouth shut.

A smart mouth can be very stupid.

In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.

Wise Guys go sit on the porch

Now, he figures that out.

Proverbs 15:1-2 NKJV

Bible.com

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness

I thought Opal nailed the “dead bug” position. You should be ashamed, Earl!

That “bicycle riding” looks more like a dying roach ready to expire.

And our beloved Earl has shown what he is not.

he shoulda just turned around, farted, and walked away without saying a word ☺

Got that right big guy

Here von Goethe would have said nothing.

Even Roscoe was startled by Earl’s dumb comment.

My opinion is only that, but, I simply abhor this practice of referring to a woman as a “karen.” Why aren’t people referring to men who have tantrums, or are petulant, and demanding, as a “donnie,” or “donnie, Jr?” This is so demeaning to the wonderful women whose names ARE “Karen.” With the plethora of insults, and profanity in the world, you’d think someone could come up with a less demeaning moniker.
