I couldn’t agree more Opal.

Above the gut is the Tweedledum look!

Don’t critique my physique.

If you go for the “below” trend, it would maybe be wise to invest in some suspenders if you don’t to risk the full sagging look!

Old joke

When my nephew was a kid, he would wear his pants up high like that. Many people told him not to wear his pants like that, but he ignored us all. I don’t know what eventually made him stop.

This is known as a Key Largo.

Belt in the middle = Michelin Man.

Good choice, Earl. Not often I get to type that!

Low and slow.

Just say ‘thank you’, Opal.

above the gut is for the suspenders and belt crowd.

Love that new look Earl ! Go out in public and see what happens :-)

just the way my grandpa wore his

Oy ….For once Opal agrees with Earl!

No guts….. No glory

LISTEN 2 HER EARL

Just make sure your shirt is long enough to prevent seeing a bare belly hang out.

Or get really loose pants and wear suspenders.

Opal, fire up the sewing machine. Or put the old guy on a vegan diet till he begins to cry.

Holy crap Earl. Opal said you were right!

I go with suspenders.

Let’s hope that Earl doesn’t own a speedo.

You have chosen wisely, grasshopper.

Good “high jeans” is important fight against COVID_19.

Earl didn’t want to look like an old man.

This hits a little too close to home! ;o[

I completely concur.

An untucked shirt covers a multitude of sins…

My wife and I had this conversation last weekend. It’s spooky how much of my life shows up in this strip.

To go with Option B means to move to Florida.

My grandfather wore his pants in the “high” position. My dad? He wore them loose and held in place by suspenders mid-gut.

Good choice Earl wears funny socks and skinny ankles

Yikes. Old Clueless Man Look. I wear large shirts not tucked in.

You don’t do the above method until you go in to senior housing.

My son dressed as “the pants that ate Fred Mertz” for Halloween in 6th grade.

I guess you can’t wrap you head around a pair suspenders yet, huh Earl?

My grandson and I call that the doinky!

Earl and I suffer from “furniture disease”…our chest is in our drawers!

That’s the “Texas Cop” position. The shirts on TX cops have to have industrial strength buttons in the bottom three spots to hold up that belly… or so it appeared to me, many years ago, the last time I dealt w/ a TX cop.

Had a high school teacher that dressed like that. We called him “hip pockets”
