Pickles by Brian Crane for June 23, 2020

sounds like a conversation between Andy and Flo Capp

I, on the other hand, find it difficult to doze off when I keep expecting my spouse to dump cold water on my face (real or virtual)

Sleep best when there is nothing I have to do. Work best under deadlines.

I noticed nothing makes a bed more comfortable than needing to leave it.

I am absolutely certain there must be a German compound word for that.

I know what Earl means. I can’t really enjoy being lazy if I don’t have anything to do.

Let Roscoe do it, he’s good for nothing, just eating food and lying around.

Earl you now have a Honey – Do List. Use it wisely ;-)

The only downside is that when you wake up, Opal will expect you to actually take care of the items she mentioned.

Hard to rest with things to do, as more things are always piling up!

Earl didn’t say that he was going to do those things.

And Roscoe is in full agreement!

The doorknob should be easy. But thinking about the best alternative for the fence so that it can just be pressure washed instead of repainting it will require some quiet time.

Why bother to ask if all you’re going to do is lay down on the job? Snooze

Thanks, consider them procrastinated

Whenever I feel like working I just lay down until the feeling goes away

Wouldn’t want to waste a good siesta…

It is always important to rest up before tackling any chores in the house. The length of the nap should be in direct proportion to the degree of difficulty of the chores…

I don’t think that Mrs. Pickle has had an easy life with Mr/ Pickle.

Quite true of myself also. Anyway, like Tom Sawyer get someone else to whitewash the fence and take Becky on a date.

“I’m busy doing nothing, / Busy the whole day through. / I’m busy trying to find / Lots of things not to do. / I’m busy going nowhere. / Isn’t it just a crime? / I’d like to be unhappy, but / I never do have the time!” Busy Doing Nothing from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, music and lyrics by James Van Heusen (1948).

Go fix the doorknob and then take your nap. That way you can tell her that you’ve done half of the list.

I think my favorite thing about Pickles is how Brian Crane draws Roscoe’s reactions.

I’m so good at napping, I can do it with my eyes closed
