Pickles by Brian Crane for December 03, 2009

Earl the bleeep strikes again.

Run for it , Earl, cause your dead meat.

I’d find something to do Earl…………………………FAST…………………In another COUNTRY!

If Earl isn’t bright, what is Opal?

Who’s the fool? The one who leads or the one who follows?

Why did she follow such stupid advice? Why doesn’t she just get some cold sore medication, or send him out for it since she won’t want to be seen in public? Why did he make such a suggestion knowing it would be painful for her? Some husband!

I dunno, maybe not just salt, but during the summer when we stayed at the shore, salt water seemed to help any sores heal much more quickly.

salt hurts but it helps to heal.

Yep - it’s workin alright

Oh salt works alright but, OY, does it hurt!

That is like eating a pickle to see if you have the Mumps? LOL

i can’t beleive earl hasn’t been killed yet

Why use actual cold sore medicine when you can use salt? I like the home remedies, some tend to work better than drugs, not sure about this one though…

Again, if Earl had given the perfect answer, the toon wouldn’t be funny, therefor NOT a COMIC. Comics are purposly made so we can all enjoy laughing at fools. Ah, laughter, the most healthy of all medicines.

Blistex for external cold sores and rub sugar really hard on canker sores inside the mouth.

what about a nice pair of scissors?

:0)

one word, Opal: dermatologist.

What I learned was to rinse the wound in salt water, not just pour straight salt on, but it all comes to the same thing. And it seems to work for all wounds, not just cold sores.

Herpes is not a dermatology problem. Yuck.

why would you just sit there staring at the hideous thing in the mirror?!
