Opal says in one strip she’s two years older than Pearl, making her 69.It makes sense, cos Nelson is supposed to be around kindergarten age…Than again, Earl and both women look (and act ) 85, instead of only a couple of years too old to be called baby boomers.The strip wouldn’t be as funny if they were more realistically portrayed…The actual 69-year-olds I know are more likely to be Rolling Stones fans, drive a retro car on purpose, and say “cool” instead of “dagnabbit”.
