Pickles by Brian Crane for December 31, 2024

That’s good advice.

After Earl mentors Nelson into comfy pants, there is a preppy preschool down the street.

Listen to your grampa, kid. This is important advice.

Of course, going pantsless is even more comfortable, but some people – most (all) – frown upon such a practice, for some reason.

Those who try going outside pantless find the experience is very brief.

Lionel Hutz (lawyer, Simpsons) once forgot to wear pants into a courtroom. The judge reminded him.

I need a volunteer, why that’s you Earl!

Never eat chili and take a laxative at the same time.

Comfy pants is a good start anyway. Can’t go wrong with that advice.

Call me Captain Sweatpants!

Comfort is quite important in life!

Rapidly approaching 6 yrs of retirement and I still prefer to wear my work pants over blue jeans.

As a Grandfather myself, I have volunteered to help my Grandchildren get into all the mischief they haven’t thought of yet.

A good grandpa is very important in a young man’s life.

As hepless as he is, is he really capable of doing any work?

another spider on the ceiling, Opal?

There’s that bat on the ceiling again!

I can do it in one word “Divorce.”

I have done my share of volunteer work after I retired. Mostly in a local hospital helping the nurses and receiving visitors at the front desk. However, there is usually one volunteer who is jealous of their volunteer job and will see to it that you don’t stay there for long. I’ve had this experience with a Blue Cross worker at this hospital and will never forget them for this.

I’m wondering if Pigborn is over considering there has been no additions since August. Is the author dead?

Stand your ground, Earl. Now that you’re retired, don’t let Opal re-tire you.

I mean he isn’t wrong

Who better than earl to shape,mold & guide Nelson into adulthood ?

Pleats & cuffs.

Attaboy Earl….attaboy!

INTERPRETATION: Sweatpants.

I always tell my sons, you are never really done raising your children, and will always be a mentor and spoiler for your grandchildren.

I’d post a piece of advice, but GoComics would censor me.

You can tell Opal is right-handed. That’s the bigger nostril.

He’s NOT wrong ya know…….

Cliff Clavin said it was comfortable shoes.

Opal knew it was too good to be true

Poor Nelson, he’s gonna grow up all twisted like his grandpa! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

HAPPY NEW YEAR, BRIAN!!!☺️❤️

He’s not wrong, though that’s probably not the only secret to a happy life.

Thought he was gonna go Cliff Clavin for the answer there!

And silk boxers.
