Pickles by Brian Crane for June 18, 2019

Sleeves are for making Grandma do more laundry.

T-shirt from hell?

That’s what Roscoe is for!

Another “Pearl” from Earl ;-)

Just go to the sink and wash it off

Tissues? I’m kinda shocked Opal doesn’t have some cloth napkins around for company she can use for a bit.

Sleeves aren’t for strawberry jam. They’re for runny noses.

Roscoe? Come here Roscoe!

That snot what sleeves are for.

Sleeves? EARL are you crazy? Opal will clobber you….

Terrible occasions like this teach people to improvise!

Glad to see Nelson’s hair grow back!

Ah; Old Guy Wisdom. Or Old F**t Wisdom.

Sleeves?

Opal has plenty of fabric…she should make some cloth napkins!

Good thing Nelson’s wearing a red shirt!

Go see grandma.. she will give you a spit bath.

I suspected long sleeves might have some purpose. I just use short sleeved shirts unless it drops down in the twenties (Fahrenheit scale) for very long but I forgot to worry about strawberry jam and such…too careful to waste any on my face.

Go visit Rover (from “Red and Rover.”) Pretty sure he can help you out.

Wait, I thought that’s where Napoleon kept his armies.

I was at SeaWorld (San Diego) on a hot summer day years ago watching the Shamu show. They invited a little boy up to feed Shamu some fish by grabbing it from a bucket and placing it on Shamu’s tongue. When the boy was done he stood there looking at his smelly hands. The trainer said “Yucky huh? Go like this.” and wiped his hands on his shirt. The boy did just that and the audience let out a collective groan that probably could’ve been heard all the way across the bay! SeaWorld did right by the family because we saw them later and the boy had on a new souvenir shirt they had given him.

Oh Grandpa are you in trouble now!

Washcloth?

USE YOUR HEAD kid!!!! lol

Sure he did. Instill bad habits? For shame.

That’s silly, they have a dog to clean up food messes.

Life lessons like this are what Grampa’s are for
