Pickles by Brian Crane for December 01, 2023

Thighs matters. But nobody wants to talk about it.

Reports that I’m Papa Bear are scandalous lies. But reports that I say stupid things are unfortunately true.

That’s either a really big easy chair or a really small love seat.

Gotta love Roscoe’s expressions

Look at Roscoe, bug-eyed and happy. Gotta love it!

This couldn’t happen. No woman would ever do that. She’s ruining her potted plant, and getting dirt all over the floor and furniture.

Before including Mama Bear in a Fairy Tale, be sure you know where Mama Bear is.

She woke up Roscoe!

Opal could not “bear” to hear that!

Earl’s hearing must be bad. He didn’t hear the approaching “thunder thighs!”

Oh, this one made me laugh today. Thanks.

Eh the bigger the better for bears.

What a waste of a pot and plant…couldn’t Opal have used something else to teach Earl a lesson?

No way she’d kill a plant like that…

Shouldn’t it have been Little Red Riding Hood saying that to the Big Bad Wolf?

That’s not how the story suppose to go?

“I like thighs. Do you like thighs?”

She wasted a plant on him!

bathroom/body jokes: totally adolescent male. . .geezus. . .

Not your brightest move!

the kid’s AMUSED – good job Grampa

The Thighs Who Loved Me? The Thighs who came in from the Cold? The Bridge of Thighs?

Roscoe’s reactions are hilarious!

No wonder Nelson spends so much time at his grandparent’s house. The entertainment is endless.

The truth can get you hurt.

Elder abuse.

The meanness surfaced again.

Earl does it again……..

Always love that Roscoe laugh.

A lot of commentators here sure do take the “comic” out of comics. Relax and have a laugh folks.

what big thighs you have….The better to emphasize your tiny waist said smart Papa Bear!

Puts me to mind of a For Better Or Worse I have always remembered: Panel one, she says she’s putting too much weight. Panel two (she behind him holding a cup of coffee) “My grandpa always said a woman should give you heat in the winter and shade in the summer.” Panel three, her cup is upside down and he -dripping wet & holding a finger aloft: “Mind you, he didn’t say it often.”

Earl your timing is off!!

And don’t even think of getting her the Thigh Master.

Large thighs in a bear, especially a female bear, is surely a GOOD thing, right?

One of the dangers of being an oral artist.

Her pet name for him is tiny.

Earl got planted.

I must “fez” that the “Moroccan look” just ain’t you, Earl!

Good one Earl. What’s your next trick?

LMAO

Roscoe’s looks are so telling …… He’s just watching to make sure that he didn’t get hit ……. actually I think that he’s laughing in the last panel …… :)

Roscoe: You going to eat that?

If only WE were allowed to overreact like that!

Yep! I can see my grandmother doing this, IF my grandfather had ever been stupid enough to say/think such a thing! LOLOL

The best part of this strip is Roscoe’s reactions.

No Earl, VERY stupid Grandpa Bear.

Never heard of that story, and for a good reason apparently.

Love the look on Roscoes face in panel three.

At least he has a Charlie Brown pot on his head for remembrance!

He’s funny. She just has no sense of humor. He wasn’t even talking about her.
