Pickles by Brian Crane for December 17, 2017

Opal sure never takes Earl’s jokes seriously.

CUP?

You messed up a good thing, Earl.

My wife likes clipping my nails and toenails and I’m certainly not going to spoil being spoiled !

“Clip your toe”? That sure looks like “cup your toe”! Which is the reason comics editors once banned the word “flick.”

I clip my own toenails. I don’t LIKE doing it but it’s one of those things that have to be done.

Look closely at clip. You will see a small gap between the l and the I. Therefore, clip not cup.

Since my small stroke in 2010, I’ve had to go to the podiatrist to get mine clipped every couple of months. Thank goodness for insurance coverage.

Ew. That’s true love right there. No way I’d clip my spouse’s toes. Ick.

My dad needed his toenails clipped and I was afraid to do it for fear of cutting him. I was so glad to find a podiatrist who made housecalls and was covered by his insurance!
