Tattooed eyelids. If true, that’s gotta be the most uncomfortable inking spot of all.

That’s what I need to keep my wife from poking me in the ribs when I sleep in chnurch.

That works until he snores!

I have done that to my safety glasses at work. Only as a goof; I know I’m fooling no one with it.

Two black dots is all it took.

Reminds me of Homer Simpson wearing glasses with eyes painted on them so he could sleep while on jury duty.

Don’t believe it Nelson!

Does Roscoe have it as well (trying to figure out the look he has in the final panel)?

Roscoe’s expression in the last panel is just " precious " : )

There is an episode of the old 3 Stooges where Curly does the same thing—and it worked!

My BIL sleeps with his eyes open, which he said was really handy during business meetings.

C’mon gramps… they reduced us down to a two hour block instead of three

One guy actually did have the whites of his eyes tattooed black. I don’t know whether to be impressed or horrified. Can you imagine how much that must have hurt.

Old variation of a Three Stooges (Curly) gag.

I can think of places MUCH more sensitive for a tattoo pen.

Had a friend who said that he knew a guy who would insult everyone by saying that he had “your name” tattooed on his pen!s. He literally did have a tattoo on there that said “your name”. OUCH!!

Last panel…Roscoe knows better……

Poor little Nelson! All the advice and answers Earl hands out will scar him for life! LOL

During the COVID 19 lockdowns, worship services were streamed and live-streamed. At one live-stream, the camera operator decided to pan over the congregation, and caught someone yawning during the sermon.

Tattoos are for people who can’t make a statement by their own actions and abilities. That’s why there are so many freaks running around now with inked up bodies. Nobody would ever give them the time of day other than looking at their crap and wondering what made them do it.

Looks like Roscoe tattooed his eyelids too.

It used to bug one of our pastors that I would keep my eyes closed while he was preaching. I tried to explain to him I was praying that he would finally get one out right. He didn’t like that either. There is just no satisfying some people.

Rosco looks like he’s thinking ….. “REALLY” Earl …… :)

I take my dark shades and white cane. And the ladies usher me in and out.

Don’t blink.

So…your tattoos are just little black ovals then??

No tattoos for me. Why would I want to be branded like a bovine?

Will you STOP lying to that poor kid…??!!!

Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes cut a ping pong ball in half and used a marker pen to “paint” two pupils. He wanted to look like he was paying attention in class whilst sleeping. When trying on these cut-outs, he looked more like a surprised Marty Feldman instead.
