Pickles by Brian Crane for April 13, 2014

I love your seasonal avatar.

Don’t forget Mickey Rooney, Earl. He died last week.

Surely Earl is next to go

join the other greats

Millions die of the sniffles every year.

I like how the last panel can be taken a couple of different ways.

Only the good die young, Earl…you’ll be here forever!

Sounds like Mark Twain’s quote “Chaucer is dead, Spencer is dead, so is Milton, so is Shakespeare, and I’m not feeling so well myself.”

Allergy season must have arrived.

Maybe they will drop into Rock & Roll Heaven

“Tex Ritter? And that’s when I woke up….”

A lot of these people I did not realize were still alive, until they died.

EARL DONT CRY

And I am fighting the worst cold I can remember in my 80 years.

At times like these..Earl needs some comfort food..He might say “And now that I’ve got the sniffles..can you please fix me some waffles?”

I do miss all the actors listed. They were so good. RIP all of you.

Russell Johnson, who played the Professor on Gilligan’s Island, died at the age of 89 last January 16. He lived the longest of the four men on the island. And he was a World War II veteran.
