Pickles by Brian Crane for November 15, 2018

Odd composition of false teeth?

I know what you mean Opal, my husband does the same thing.

a deep-fried banana?

Amazing talent for a crime fighter Earl’s age.

Yeah, well, frozen bananas will do that.

Wait, I think Opal just wants some of Earls banana crisps.

REALLY bad case of TMJ.

My last wife was like that. I could hear her chewing with her mouth closed from across the table.

let the banana ripen a bit…

This totality explains why Earl does not pay attention to Opal at times the constant …Yip ..Yip .. Like a dog barking at a squirrel :-)

Which is why I wear noise cancelling headphones most of the time.

“You make crunching noises eating a banana”….you sure it’s not from Earl’s bones?

I’m reminded of Louie DePalma from Taxi telling (in flashback) how he got fired from a previous job for being a disgusting slob.

Boss: You make noises when you eat.

Louie: Everybody makes noises when they eat.

Boss: Yours are not eating noises. Yours are not … HUMAN noises!

How do you crunch a banana???

I just have to say, even though Pickles is halfway through my long line of strips, it is almost always my first real audible laugh of the day. Thank you, Brian, for the early morning sunshine.

NOM, NOM, NOM.

Dehydrated banana’s would crunch ;)

At least she’s not asking him where he’s going anymore.

Opal you are a PITA and I am surprised Earl doesn’t leave with all the nasty things you say to him.

well it was a crunchy banana

I like slightly green bananas. Not sweet so much as tart. Firm, but never crunchy. Must be his dentures grinding.

That’s the pieces of his dentures grinding.

I used to have a chinchilla that crunched on bananas. None of her other food, just bananas.
