Pickles by Brian Crane for March 05, 2023

You are a cave man Earl. No worries i’m right there with you.

back in Earl’s childhood, it was just flipping through the channels albeit there were only a few from which to choose

You’re not alone!

It is a good thing that Nelson is not watching season one of Game of Thrones on HBO.

My brother is a Caveman.

Children watching Hulu, Tictoc, facebook ETC has been proven to be harmful to undeveloped brains. IT IS unhealthy BUT lets climb on Earl

Nelson wouldn’t last the days of positioning the rabbit ears and running back and forth as the human remote. Or managing the time with unavoidable commercials.

Analog man. Digital world.

seems an awfully technical definition for a six year-old, even in today’s world

I’ve been told that I am ancient, is that older than caveman?

Interesting reaction by Roscoe in that final panel!

The correct answer, in caveman speak, is that it is just another channel in the TV. But it is a special channel, and you get to choose from a big list of what to watch.

Nelson seems to be a little disgusted that Earl knows nothing about Hulu.

It’s okay, Earl, you’d just sleep through it anyway.

“When I was a kid…” In certain weather condictions we’d get a 4th channel…

How many years has he been paying for Hulu and never watched it?

Roof-top antenna with a rotor is caveman stuff.

I have several streaming services. I stream a local channel for local news. They have an ad that tells me about the local streaming channel with all kinds of content but doesn’t mention how to access it. That makes me a caveman.

Here in the mountains, we have no internet. Therefore no streaming!

Not without your cave bear suit.

Wait until Earl gets the bill

“Which one of these streaming services you’ve never heard of has the best content?”

With all these streaming services, I frequently feel like a caveman, too!

My last jobs before retirement were sitting in front of a screen all day. Then it was a 17" CRT monitor, now it’s a 27" LCD.

I miss the days before cable.

Would love to see how the kids today would react to one day in the era of - not all TV’s were in color- you had to get up to change the TV station.- your tv only got 7 stations.- you needed your paper tv guide to see what was even on those stations.you also had to- rotary dial 7-10 numbers to make a phone call- after you got permission to make that phone call.. it costs money!- you left the house and NO ONE could get you until you got home!- There was actually children on every street at night and every summer day!You were happy just to have 1 family car!Water was always free!!!And that was considered living the American Dream.Today you hear, I want, I need, get me, give me, I deserve it!…. and that is not just from the kiddies!

nelson knows all the tech stuff but can he write or spell or read a real book? ha—not likely!

If one doesn’t keep up, one will be left in the dust! ☹️

“WHAT’S A CAVEMAN”.??

Overpriced waste of money.

‘Splain to Earl, Nelson!

I can’t really believe that the Pickles have managed to sync their TV with their internet in order to get streaming services on the TV. Nor that they have subscribed to Hulu without knowing what it is. But yeah, it’s a comic, I get it.

Now explain how to change HDMI inputs to get to the antenna.

Which clearly illustrates why this 77 y/o guy has a surplus 75ohm FM antenna hanging out the window…..streaming and hulu are just too much to absorb.

I guess he hasn’t heard of Netflix either

Nelson would make a great spokesman for Hulu.

Is he watching Handmaid’s Tale?

I’m here for the nostalgic comments

What a great idea! How does it work?

When I found Who Loo costs money, I lost interest. Caveman genes.

In G.B. it’s a who loo…

Much like me…signed up on facebook to see what it’s all about, and deleting my account within the week…

My first thought at the beginning was to Abbott and Costello’s ’Who’s On First’. Third Base!

Who remembers “It is now 11 o’clock, do you know where your children are?”

Put the kid to “sleep”. It’s the merciful thing to do.

He’s learned marketspeak, he’ll never be able to function like a human being again.
