I resemble that remark! When I cook, I dirty up every pot, bowl and utensil in the kitchen. (Today will be epic – baking bread and then making soup from scratch.)
I’m trying not to take this too seriously, since it’s a comic, but, I find it rather galling that a person cannot get up, and move about their own house, without being questioned as to their destination. If he were leaving the house, then he should say so. But anything else, no, I don’t agree.

Ever heard of “cooking up a mess of greens/grits/etc.”? In my mother’s dialect, that was a normal variant on “cooking some greens/grits/etc.”.

That’s why the more industrial variant is called a mess hall.

He’ll leave a big mess … but it isn’t his (main) purpose.

So Earl can’t get up and go to the kitchen without telling Opal where he’s going? Does she track his every movement?

Lately, I can’t make toast with peanut butter, without peanut buttering my HAND as well!

This is Earl’s way for Opal not making him a sandwich in the first place. Yes, even Earl has limits.

Anyone else ever get frustrated when a Sunday comic could have easily been a 2-3 panel weekday comic?
