Pickles by Brian Crane for December 01, 2024

Got to keep the man busy. I wonder what treats she left behind.

Earl will just eat the cookies she made for Nelson.

Wonder what treats she left around for Earl? More than likely in the refrigerator!

Earl … Opal did not say “Speak”

There’s a lump on my chair. Hey, a treat!!!

I saw that one coming from a mile away.

Hiding treats around the house would get me INTO trouble as I ransacked the place looking for stuff to eat!

We saw it coming but we still laughed!

Roscoe’s expression says it all and wordless. Canine are clever that way.

Treat is a favored trigger word for my pals!

My dog would sniff them out in no time!

Have a party, Earl I love me some alone time myself!

Roscoe’s expression in the last panel is priceless!

God, the ads on this site have gotten really obnoxious.

Roscoe is so cute today : )

Roscoe REWLS. Best character in the strip. Without compare.

Earl, get real! You KNOW she was t talking to you! ☺️☺️

Sorry he ruined your good mood, Roscoe.

What…….. is he BLIND..???

Only Earl……only Earl……

Love all those Roscoe expressions.

Opal is speaking to Roscoe but I thought she was really talking to Earl. Hiding his cookies would keep him busy.

I tried to hide treats from all 3 beagles I have had, and always without success. They smell everything. They can follow the scent to the treat, much like bloodhounds. Bloodhounds have the best noses. Beagles are only second best.

GRRR! roscoe in the last panel. (not happy)

I don’t recall any comic or arc where they are IN church. Anyone…?

Earl yours are out of Roscoe’s reach ,,, Snickers are bad for dogs.

GOOD ONE!

He he

Double duty done decently.

Treat… coffee and zucchini bread as I’m reading this;)

Roscoe is going HUH?

These “treats.” What do they consist of?

One time when I was about 12 or so my mother had to go to El Paso to take care of her mother for a couple of weeks of surgery recovery (surgery was a much bigger deal back then). My father was… loving… but definitely NOT single-parent material, so they agreed to hire a housekeeper for the duration. But Mom also put toys, snacks etc. into about 72 small paper bags: One for each kid for each of the twelve days she was gone. I don’t remember a single thing from the bags, but I sure do remember that she DID that!

She has always treated him like a dog.
