Pickles by Brian Crane for January 25, 2025

The reporter drove or flew a helicopter all the way there without getting an explanation first.

Call your wife fat on TV why don’t you.

Who’s going to save Earl’s life?

Let us know about the funeral arrangements.

Earl, Earl, Earl … I thought you wanted to live?

Well so much for Opal treating Earl with newfound respect.

hooray for Earl!

he saved that endangered manatee

Earl, get rid of the shovel, stop digging

So who’s gonna save Earl’s life?

Took you long enough, Earl. I was beginning to worry.

Open Mouth, Insert Foot.

“And right after that is when the wife threw her husband under our news van.”

He’s gonna regret that remark.

The viewers got to Eyewitness the beginnings of a fight!

I thought John Patterson (FBOFW) had made the worst statement to his wife today but Earl may have just topped him. Both of these husbands are in so much trouble they may never get out.

Earl’s going to get a special meat loaf now. It looks strangely like a rolling pin.

With that last remark, CNN might just run it instead of the cute puppy with the bandaged paw.

Earl is digging himself deeper into a dark hole.

I don’t think that even Roscoe is going to share his dog house with you my man.

bah!

it’ll all be forgotten by tomorrow

I hope there’s extra room in your doghouse Roscoe!

Did you notice how fast her head turned around?

Setting a new record for going from HERO to ZERO: EARL PICKLES!!!

A worthy rerun.

I hope he enjoys take-out for the next few months.

Wait, what?

Oooh talk about steppin’ in it!

This is really a funny strip today! Too bad the serious subject of saving Opal’s life is wiped away when this reporter makes it look so silly.

Oh Earl! You are in it deep!

Meanwhile, out of camera range, Roscoe gives a WTF response with front paws over his eyes.

I know someone who’s sleeping on the couch tonight.

A man saved his wife from a speeding car, then did something REALLY dangerous

is this what that Dixie Chix song, Goodbye Earl, was about?

Open mouth, insert foot!

Earl, you realize you have to live with her after the reporter leaves!

Oh no he Ditn’t.

Oh, Earl, you don’t want to live very long, do you????

At least they got a good story. “Woman Thrashes Man While Reporters Cheer.”

It’s a good thing this is a Saturday strip and presumably the last entry to this storyline, because what Opal is about to do to her noble hubby has no place in the comics section!!

in news today, wife puts husbands foot in his own mouth… the news crew is still laughing about it. :D

With that comment Earl, there goes your meatloaf.

You ain’t no toothpick, Earl !

If looks could kill…!

Earl!? The media will leave and you’ll be alone with the woman you just called fat on TV!

Earl may have saved his wife from the speeding car, but his saving ‘face’ to cover the size of his heroism is not kind.

Hilarious! I laughed for a good two minutes!

The bigger story will be what Opal does to Earl after the news people leave.

LOL!!! I can relate to that comment Earl. BTW Earl, your dead meat…..

Earl is going to pay for that comment.

“Well there I was drinking a beer on the way to the store with my big old wife when she done began to step off-un the curb when I spotted a big old pickup truck, you know one of them that has the big old tires and sits real high. Old Opal was about to become road kill, which would mean I would have to fix my own supper, so’s I stuck out my arm that wasn’t holding my beer, and stopped her. Now I reckon that she’ll fix me a big old meat loaf for saving her butt. The truck driver should thank me too. He would have had a big old dent in that Chevy if’n it weren’t fer me.”

He’s doomed!

The YouTube will be out shortly … it includes four helicopters and 69 patrol cars chasing the perp. The Officer’s Union is demanding the return of the night-stick. Night-stick, baton, truncheon, and billy club factories are beginning to reopen. Except in Wisconsin, of course, where they allow 30 DUI arrests commonly.

I think Earl is going to have to make a heroic escape…

First time I realized that Pickles is their last name.

That doghouse is going to see some use tonight.

ruh roh

You will be sorry Earl……….just wait!

this ain’t gonna end good…

Earl’s big foot just landed in his even bigger mouth. Yikes!

That last part was the bravest thing I have witnessed in a long while

He’s dead meat.

Oh no! He went there!

Panel Five has big red “X” over it! Anyone know why??

That’s his 15 minutes of fame. He’ll milk it for years.

Top story: Wife makes husband sleep on couch for being a jerk.

Foot in mouth again.

Annnnnnd that was the day OPAL tried to murder Earl….no wait, it’s just.a passing thought, on Opals part…..

Oh Earl, you are in trouble now.

Earl is going downhill and picking up speed LOL

You are so done.

Perhaps less ensuing fame than anticipated.

“Wife kills husband on live tv…film at eleven”!

Where are all the commenters who say, “Brian, have you got a camera in my house?”, today?

I was in a parking lot. A pretty young journalist (with a cameraman in tow) approached me, asked me what I thought about legalizing the lottery in Alabama. When she realized I thought it was just a tax on stupidity, she immediately lost interest and went looking for someone else.

She had an agenda, to get positive comments about legalizing a lottery.

That one experience does NOT make me feel like all reporters are worthless.

Earl just stepped in it… and deserves any and all repercussions.

Ohhhhhh Boyyyyyyy
