Pickles by Brian Crane for January 29, 2018

I’ve heard that one before.

’Tain’t easy raising a child (trapped in an adult’s body).

He plans on sitting there for the rest of the year.

Earl has to think for a long time about which one he will do first. He is still thinking.

Look at the dog’s face in the last panel…perfect.

Some guys are better at being oblivious than others and require a list for the obvious. Others have a short attention span or can’t remember their spouse’s litany of little labors. For those hapless husbands, the household honey-do list an imperative.

Then, there are those of us who happily acquiesce to our wife’s wishes with this caveat: " I will do the job to your complete satisfaction…at my convenience ! "

Men and women are different.

We are even different from each other.

Many of us need things spelled out to us. Followed by, “If you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you,”

Remember: Slow change is lasting change. Earl… You are my hero!
