Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
It’s the new heavily invested green product three in one, a metal detector, weed whacker, and malt mixer, run by solar power. Earl is old but right up with the newest green movement of this age!
@lightenup;“Don’t all old guys get a metal detector when they retire so they can go searching for things on the beach?”No beach within 70 miles here, but strangely enough, I now OWN one of the dam things. Poke $2.87 in change in the back yard, and it keeps lil’ kids entertained for HOURS. (Just a hint from yer ol’ unca jim)

I bet we commentators knew it was a metal detector from the beginning panel. (Why does Earl have and when does he really use one anyway?)

Maybe it can help him find the weed whacker.

Earl needs a metal detector to find his weed-whacker in the overgrown tall grass !!!

I don’t know, but I think Earl’s out of string.

My husband claimed our weed whacker wasn’t working this past weekend. I made sure he read Pickles this morning! Well done, Brian!!!!

Lightenup is right… you’re not a real senior until you get a metal detector. Gives us all something to do besides feed pigeons.

Oh, I don’t know…Earl’s weed whacker looks very like the one in my tool shed…

Earl knew that. He was just using the metal detector to find metal objects that could hurt the weed whacker!
