That’s five responsibilities Ear.

Procrastinate

Procrastination isn’t a responsibility, it’s a way of life.

Pontificate?

If Earl wanted your input, he would have asked for it, Opal, so can it! Stifle thy self.

Might I suggest “punch”?

Nice going Earl! I was hoping you would make it past Saturdaywithout having to spend a night on the couch!

Never go to bed angry.

Yep agree the couch is the place to be!!!

When I officiated football ( soccer ) I would instruct the team captain’s to observe my 3 P’s. 1) Play the ball 2) Play the whistle and 3) Don’t pi… er… don’t perturb me!

♫♪♫ Take out the paper and the trash ♫♪♫.

Just how big is that chair?

I liked this comic more when it was more about quirkiness than a borderline abusive marriage. :S I always feel sorry for Opal and I don’t like feeling that way.

Now, if they were doing the Four S’s, Opal AND Earl could both be saying “Shut The Front Door” in the last frame. I don’t think Earl knows that term yet. Nelson probably does, but not Earl.

This comic used to be a lot more fun. I used to love it because it was one of the few that didn’t feature bickering spouses. That cliché is so tired. I really don’t like it much now that they are constantly harping on one another….

Take a word from the wise Nelson, rejoice in the wife of your youth and do not give your strength to anyone. If you do that strength you have may do something that makes that strength stumble and in the strengths stumbling you may stumble. Remain as you are. Men & women, escape now, while you can. Genders, this is their dubious behavior, run for your lives. I Cor 7:1; 7-8, Prov 31:1-3, Gen 49:3, Matthew 18:6, 5:20-23, 7:6-27, 22:14, 6:24-29, 2:17, Ex 19:15, Eccl 7:26-28, et al.

Persevere.

Nag Nag Nag…

Go Opal!

1 Cor 7:1, Gen 49:3, Prov 31:1-3. See strength and extrapolate from there.

Nobody thought of "procreation? It]s a slippery, sometimes sweaty, meeting of minds.
