Pickles by Brian Crane for October 25, 2021

… and high heels and underwire bras, too, Earl

Oh I so agree, but you forgot the worst……bras.

I’ve got a pretty nice jumpsuit myself, but it’s not like I could wear it to work or the grocery store without weird looks

Jack LaLanne looked pretty good in his.

Ahhhh, sweats!!

I loved the disco era. I danced my rear off many nights at discos in the 70’s. I wore jumpsuits back then and other crazy fashions of that decade. I had two of them, one of them was demin. It was my favourite.

Earl in that outfit makes me think he’s a janitor or mechanic.

Just wait until you need the loo in a hurry though…

Look at all those POCKETS!! Heaven!!

I feel bad because we have the sweetest dry cleaner ever, but I no longer have to wear shirts and ties and therefore don’t need golf shirts and casual pants dry cleaned. I do stop by to say hello once in awhile.

They do not have any hogs to wash.

Disposable, paper jumpsuits!

I was going to buy a hopsack jumpsuit, but I decided to skip it.

Time to jump out of that jumpsuit, Earl!

Earl save that suit for winter , it will keep you warm .

Having spent several submarine patrols wearing a jumpsuit I can positively say that you can have a serious accident if you need to go to the bathroom quickly while in one.

“one-piece”, is there any other kind of jumpsuit?

Jumpsuits don’t work for women. I’m all for overalls, though.

Opal isn’t listening to this crap! she’s crabby because she puts up with Earls shortcomings….. she needs to loosen that waistband a bit too. She’s wound to tight!

Do NOT tell me Opal is still wearing a girdle and/or panty hose!!!! I think it’s just Earl. . .

Yeah…….. like she’s gonna take FASHION advice from him……… sure – OK.

We used to wear those on the submarine. About all you could say about them is they were easy to clean and dry.

Two bucks! What a deal!

And it comes with that delightful smell, no extra charge.

Earl is channeling his inner Pete Townshend.

Definitely, I think Earl’s onto something! Tees & jeans for me ever since I retired! I only dress up for church.

Has he been watching Dave Chappelle again?

Earl does get some interesting finds at garage sales. Maybe we need some comics showing him at a garage sale. Does he walk there? I can’t see him getting in a car to go shopping for anything by himself.

I used to wear coveralls at work, heaven forbid you gat the “runs”!

When my daughter was little a one piece style called a bubble suit was popular and looked comfortable, so I bought her one. She didn’t like to wear it because in her words you had to get naked to go to the bathroom.

Got that last panel right Earl.. and all this time it was blamed on hormones.

And frumpy facial expressions to go with the frumpy blouse.

Tomorrow Earl discovers the joy of going commando in combination with wearing his jumpsuit.

Neckties cut off the oxygen to your brain, so you can’t think.

And there you have it!

My dad wore something like this around the house. Looking back, I wonder why my mom didn’t complain about it. When he wore it, it meant he wasn’t really going anywhere that day which was fine by me.

Hogwash is actually pretty good stuff. Keeps the pigs clean.

Wake me, shake me……feels alright now

Winston Churchill used to wear one of those. He called it his “siren suit,” and would wear it down in the bomb shelter during air raids. (He probably wore it over his actual suit, though, complete with suspenders and necktie, but still. . .) It would keep dust sifting down from the ceiling from besmirching his statesmanlike duds, I’d think.

Aah, the Nehru suit.

He forgot underwire push-up bras

Always thought jumpsuits for women was stupid! Why on earth would you want to have to undress in the public toilet and drag it through the muck and yuck on the toilet floor, then put it back on again—yuckity, yuck, yuck, yuck!

I think the only problem Earl is going to have with that outfit is when he really has to use the bathroom.

Just wait till he has to go to the bathroom — and just lowering the zipper won’t solve his problem.

Remember leisure suits?

Yup Img 0342lagoulou would not go well today at all.

Decades ago, my uncle wore those.

Winston Churchill wore a similar all-in-one suit during the war. He wore it when he was off duty. I saw in when I visited the War Cabinet Rooms

Sheepskin slipper boots with an eva sole for me. Our Nepalese friends are all non shoe inside people. I asked him why. He replied that there were nasty things on the ground in Nepal. Things are I don’t want to bring into the house. We wear shoes, after all the doggo cannot remove her paws
