Pickles by Brian Crane for September 24, 2016

Earl, ask Opal for some of the wax that she uses to extract her occasional chin hair. It’s time you shared more.

Barbers used to burn that hair out of men’s ears with a lit match. And no, I don’t know how they did it without burning the customer.

Oh Earl……it is the ugly truth isn’t it?

Proved, but for ear hair?! Too easy to hit the ear and…

Well, there’s those electric trimmers that work for nose and ear hair, or you can just pluck them, that’s what I do.

When asked why the movies aren’t more like real life, Cecil B. DeMille said, “Real life should be more like the movies.” Well, we have comics that are very much like real life.

Or you can let it grow and use it for a comb-over,,,

I have done that.

Why does “ear wax” come to mind?

When I was a twenty-something, I saw a combination nose and ear hair clipper for sale and I thought it was hilarious. Now that I’m in my fifties I use one regularly. Such is life.
