Pickles by Brian Crane for June 03, 2024

Try telling Opal she looks like she is putting on weight and see how many days in the dog house that will cost you.

Just following your lead, dear

Tell Opal that and you’ll end up on a diet!

Weight’s fine, just a little short for it!

One time I weighed 193 pounds.

I’m just holding onto these (extra) pounds for someone else.

Me at 192 would be me looking 23 more pounds to do on my journy to 170 by September.

“Do these pants make me look fat?”

“No, but your butt does.”

My doctor showed me a chart that tells you your ideal weight.

I asked him what he planned to do to stretch me eight inches taller.

I was 196 lbs. a while ago, but that was after getting Covid.

I’m not overweight, I’m undertall

I’ll take 192 pounds right now!

I just want to know where his tie went from the first frame to the last.You don’t need to stand in front of a mirror to take it off.

I’ll be 82 this year and I weigh 195 @ 6’2". My doctor tells me I’m in fine shape for the shape I’m in.

“I’ve got you beat by three pounds, Opal! Outta my way while I do my victory dance!”

Clever.

I read it as “ for a man of my height” and i’m thinking, yeah thats right, whats the joke here – OH, i get it.

How tall is he?

Opal looks like she is taller than Earl in the 3rd / 4th panels.

GOOD ANSWER

I was born short.

I think 192 is okay.

I wish I weighed 192 pounds

How much would that be in kg? The searching machine provides me with 0,087 kg.

Time for new pants, Earl. Those do look a little snug.

That’s the big advantage of living alone. When you do put on some pounds there’s not any snide remarks about it from anyone you know. Instead, with the weight, you can take it (off) or leave it (on).

Typical double standards. If Earl were to ask Opal if she is putting on weight, she would clobber him.

Oh gosh, same as me stark naked.

My wife asked if I was losing weight since I was having trouble keeping my pants up. The problem is that I’ve lost my waist.

I’m the number 300 like clicker. This satisfies my OCD, for about 3 seconds…

Do-gooders try to teach old folks new tricks so they can look better or live longer. I say once you’re up there, just enjoy yourself, cause it ain’t going to last long.

I’m in good shape for the shape I’m in.

(a blob is a shape, isn’t it?)

Loading Dock …. Chesney awaits you, Earl.
