Pickles by Brian Crane for January 21, 2025

me neither ☹

Dang—I was just getting my hopes up!

Why ruin a good thing at this point in their lives?

Stick with what works the best for the both of you.

And so, life goes on.

At least hold hands, you lovebirds.

Why change now?!

Under pressure was a good song by Queen.

Just be yourselves, guys, and you’ll be happy!

No good deed goes un … without consequences.

Every silver lining has its cloud.

if he haddn’t saved her, he would starve

He keeps her entertained that’s for sure.

Motorists cursing and honking their horns in congestion never see themselves as being part of the problem.

It’s always ‘everyone else’.

Traffic today has gotten ridiculous.

Same as 01/13/2004, only inked. Maybe vacation reruns?

One hand slaps the other!

If she dies……. who will cook and clean.?

Yin and Yang go all wonky

It’s the hell you know versus the hell you don’t.

no good deed goes unpunished

“I’ll be nice to you, but not until you save my life.” That just pulls on the heart strings, doesn’t it?

Man, it’s like Brian Crane is spying on my wife and I. His toons, is us.

I once yanked my little sister back from walking out in front of a moving car. Because of it, she put her foot down wrong and sprained her ankle badly enough to have to go to Emergency. Even though I got lots of praise, I felt bad about her ankle…

Maintain the equilibrium

They may want to schedule a repeat of their vows. Although, clergy who say “… till death shall you part …” may not believe in an afterlife.

Earl, you ol’ poop!

I had to do that once, grabbed a girl’s arm [I was walking with] before she stepped out in front of a car. It was on a college campus so a slower moving car. She was surprised and thankful when I pulled her back.

The truth, at last.

As i’ve gotten older I’ve learned that patience and giving myself enough time, eliminates the anger and frustration. Now those people driving with burned out tail, or brake, lights and who don’t have blinker fluid-hope karma gets you.

The dangers of saving others.

Is it my imagination, or have cars at stoplights always left 2-3 cars lengths between them and the car in front of them? I’ve noticed this in the past 4 or so years. I used to think it was the drivers thinking they needed to do “social distancing” between their cars, as they had to do in person. When I had my MINI Cooper, I would often pull into the space between the two cars, with plenty of room to spare. I did this especially on one street which was short, and with all that empty space, other cars wouldn’t be able to get into the turn lane for 2 or 3 changes of the traffic light.
