Pickles by Brian Crane for January 24, 2025

Hopefully, Opal lets him be a hero. Maybe reporters have video from someone’s dashcam.

quick, Opal! go put your face on

better yet – go put someone else’s face on

Now the autograph hounds will be coming to your door, Earl! Not!

Do you have Trump blood in you? And on another strip, why don’t they remove Pigborn if the author doesn’t update (shames me to update my Nicefunguy Movie Reviewer on Facebook.)

It’s big news because it’s the first time in his married life that Opal has that Opal has expressed any appreciation for anything he said or did.

Earl doesn’t need the media to publicise his heroic actions.

Opal’s been doing just fine on her own!

Newspaper reporters? How quaint. Even Earl should know to alert broadcast news: Juiced up news banner — ”Pickleball Pro Earl Protects Precious Wife Opal From Dillsasterous Pickle!”

wfhite, Give the cartoonist a break. He has plenty on his hands with 9 Chickweed Lane right now. With Pibgorn, he also uploads the sketches he first makes and then the artwork. All that takes time.

Looks like he has an albino duck foot glued to his upper lip.

OK, here’s help. Get some brass safety pins, size 00.•>

He who tooteth not his own horn, said horn will not get tooteth

Earl is about to understand the saying, “No good deed goes unpunished.”

Speaking of duty… every time I drive somewhere these days I have a strong urge to make more than one “citizen’s arrest”. (I don’t — I just hear Gomer yelling it in my head)

And I’ll bet some of us thought he was kidding yesterday.

Attaboy Earl……

As I see it,there ain’t nuthin’wrong with a little self-promotion…..

15 minutes of fame

I’d insist on a NYC Ticker-Tape parade, and plenty of shoulder and elbow ointment for patting himself on his back.

No. It was your duty as her husband. That’s all it was.

Remember what your mother said. Don’t do anything that will get you in the newspaper.

The news is going to be when the reporters see that Studebaker in the garage

That last panel…

Your 15 minutes of fame are UP.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another heroic act.
