Pickles by Brian Crane for February 18, 2025

Or a mute switch on people you don’t want to hear.

Or a Reload Button like a computer game. A ReWind would be nice too.

It does have an eraser—divorce!

I feel your pain, Earl. Really, I do.

Or at least a pause button

Mud left on the carpet? A rug shampooer is the eraser you use for that.

Prevention is. Almost always better than cure

I could use a Defragmentation App to rid my brain of useless data stored there.

Eraserhead Earl

( Schwarzenegger has nothing to worry about )

Well… okay, but just don’t let Opal get one of those erasers!

It so happens that living as a cartoon character does come with an eraser…

Life is written with a permanent marker, until that too fades with time

Your life doesn’t need an eraser, you just need a brain and some common sense. (which, incidentally, is not so common)

So do I Earl!

“I like sand through an hourglass, so are the days of our lives” Remember that?!

Earl would like that movie Groundhog Day!

The biggest life eraser is death. So sharpen that pencil and learn to live with your mistakes.

Go see Morty and get the remote, click, problems solved.

Life’s eraser is Alzheimer’s.

Remove your shoes at the door, Earl, put on slippers!

In this case, Earl’s eraser is a vacuum cleaner. All he has to do is clean up his own mess.

Another pearl from Earl.

True dat…….

Earl could be a bit more considerate here. Take the muddy shoes off outside please.

So do a lot of us.

yes same here Earl… too bad somethings you are just stuck trying to figure out how to fix it without removing it from existence. :L

That’s why rain boots are rubber, assuming you take them off outside.

In this case the eraser is known as a carpet cleaner.

Earl,Earl,Earl….whatever are we gonna DO with you?

Well said!

Hey Gramps, so do I but it’s up to all and each of us to learn from these mistakes and grow.

Me too, Earl. Me too. But when life knocks you on your butt because you did something dumb, all you can do is pick yourself up and try again.

It’s hard understand why Earl or anyone, has a problem with cleaning up after himself.

A Backspace key is what I keep wanting.

A carpet cleaner would just smear that mud and make a mud bath out of it.

In proper clean up of mud, one has to pick up it up somehow first, then use a vacuum cleaner to suckup the bits that have been pushed into the bottom of the threads, then one takes a damp cloth and slowly, without pushing wipe up the foot prints, then use the vacuum cleaner again to suck up the left over bits.

In our case, when the kids were young, it took only one session of them following those steps, and after that, they never walked into the house with muddy boots during the year, or muddy feet in the summer….

Mom had to buy me a case of Jumbo Big for Really Big Mistakes Wedge Pink Erasers (5.5″ × 2″ size).

it does…it’s called alcohol

An UNDO button would be handy.

I remember an eraser that came all by itself. They came in various configurations; some like a brick, others were like long white strings in a tube you could hold onto while you erased your error, sort of like a mop.

Don’t we all …
