Pickles by Brian Crane for December 15, 2021

Tree frog, free frog.

Will next comic see Opal riding off in the sunset with the Tree Prince she just kissed?

You can keep the frog, Nelson, as long as you keep it away from your grandmother and not tell your mother about it.

Our tree frogs are about an inch, maybe as much as 1.5 inches long. And their call is more of a “gritch” than “ribbit” or “croak”.

The start of a great new Christmas tradition

Clark Griswold did it better!!!

/SHMIRK/

Geesh, Nelson, get off of her!!

Who had “tree frog” in the pool?

“Hi ho ho ho. Kermit the Santa Frog here. What else do you want for Christmas?”

I hope that Opal is okay. Someone has bring down Earl a little bit or they will all be in trouble.

Good thing it wasn’t: https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/12/14/south-africa-snake-christmas-tree-lon-orig-mrg.cnn/video/playlists/atv-trending-videos/

Nelson sees the happy side of this, young kids are great!

Rustle, rustle should it not be “Ribet, ribet”? !

Saw this one coming ….. Ten years ago ;-)

Nelson, I’m sure that Opal will be happy to have that creature toad away…

I had a tree frog come to my house from a plant I bought last January. He now resides in luxury with a human that goes to get crickets for him/her every two weeks.

For a second there, I thought Nelson was standing on his grandmother’s chest.

Is it poisonous?

They found an owl in the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree one year. It was fine and they took it back to the forest where it came from.

On another note – nice Christmas sweater!

Tree frogs are cute.

And thus ends the tradition of fresh cut Christmas trees for Earl and Opal. Of course ornaments will remain for Muffin’s entertainment.

She had that COMING.!!!!!

So glad I finished breakfast first. HAHAHAHA!!!!! I used have tree frogs and Anoles as pets. Good one Brian!

Hope Earl hasn’t become a widower…

…as Earl goes to check to see that their life insurance is current!

Opal almost had a frog in her throat.

LMAO! Better a tree frog than a snake….

If Muffin had been in the tree there wouldn’t be a frog there now.

There was an article just yesterday about a venomous snake turning up in a Christmas tree in South Africa.

Better than a rat.

Comic reality aside; Is a frog plausible? I can see the cinema tropes of a squirrel and/or a cat.

LOL!!!

Do tree frogs live in pine trees?

For all those thinking it was a squirrel, you watch to much Christmas Vacation.

BEST Christmas present EVER!

A frog using Opal’s face for a seat. Hahahaha

Aww, they’re sweet! Frogs are a sign of balance, I love to see them! I used to work in our church office and one would get into the A/C every year! It was weird trying to work with the croaking!

Good one…

There are no words for this,

Hah! I was right about this reminding me of the Alien “egg” scene! Better get that frog off her face, but for the love of Mike don’t make it bleed!

And….we have a happy ending!!

LOL Good one Brian!! :-D Do they tell you how many likes you get??

In this case i think Opal’s reaction was totally justifiable.

I can’t believe that for once it didn’t land on Earl !

Awwww…love tree frogs.

The sounds of tree frogs on summer nights is so soothing.
