Pickles by Brian Crane for December 27, 2018

the funniest relatives I knew were an uncle on the side of each parent… sure they at times got out of hand, but they were something

Don’t worry, Earl. I don’t go to those places.

Just make sure you stay in the lines Earl ;-) …… is that a cloud coloring book ?

You mean you hope Nelson will never meet him!

We all know one of those guys!

“…I’ve got him chained up in the cellar.”

Given Earl’s repute, are you sure Nelson didn’t mean “funniest”?

Hah hah, you’re funny!

That’s one of the nicest compliments a grandchild can give. I hope my grandkids think I’m one of the funnest people to be around.

Messin’ with the kid is what grandpas do.

I prefer to play with myself.

Let’s see how fun he is having when he tries to get up off the floor.

I called my dear Uncle Woody The Magic Man. He could pull a quarter or a piece of candy out of your ear and he always had a joke or a balloon or some other treat available. He was a fun guy.

Maybe he’s hinting at me. I’m everyone’s fun Uncle. You know the one that tries to kill you in the process of playing really hard.

I’m visiting my 1st grandson right now, should be playing with him I suppose, but here I am reading GoComics comments. Last we our priest was commenting on how different grampa’s can be. One friend who had been a house husband can’t wait to visit grandkids, but another guy who was a career man like me said, “Hey, I saw the kid last Easter!”

Well, I’ve always thought Earl was a little funny…

Grandpas are funner, because have we a really good idea what we can get away with. After all, we’ve passed the limit a few times.
