Pickles by Brian Crane for November 05, 2010

I think that’s a flower, ain’t it? Tell him, Earl…

Did you forget where you put your shoes Nelson?

Better make out a chart for the lad, Earl.

No, they’re NOT, Nelson

Nelson’s gonna grow up to be a ballet dancer …

All those fancy colour names are simply a ploy to get women to shop and buy more and more. Seems to work.

Yeah, the names were thought up by men, but only to sucker women into spending more money.

Periwinkle socks with a lilypad shirt? Yecch! Is Gramma color blind?

no, they’re mauve

They’re more of an azure.

Cloud blue….. and psssst Nelson? everything goes with jeans.

And your shirt is green…NOT sour apple.

Cerulean? Nah. Maybe a tint of ultramarine blue?

Looks like what my old computer called “cyan,” a little to the blue side of grey. I’ve had black socks long enough to fade to that color.

hey even in kindergarten, it was redorangeyellowgreenbluepurple. no plant life, fruit or produce.

And color names change all the time….I remember when Crayola had a contest to name a “new” color and the winning name was “Macaroni and Cheese”!

God forbid the next generation not be as stunted and confined to the same narrow definition of male as yours, Earl!
