Pickles by Brian Crane for April 28, 2023

Earl don’t be like that. Roscoe is a good boy. Just get him a flea collar.

I once knew a breeder of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Awesome dogs.

We use diatomaceous earth (it’s natural silica from the fossilized remains of tiny aquatic creatures collected from the bottom of lakes, rivers etc) it’s nontoxic for dogs and people, you can dust their beds, the yard, the carpet/rugs… haven’t had any fleas for years and don’t have to worry about poison (flea collars/treatments) harming the dog. It also kills bedbugs, ticks, cockroaches, spiders… it makes them dry up and die

Well, we know his mother was a b——

Brian could have ended this strip without the 4th panel. :D

Good one Earl!

I eat a tablespoon of it every day.

Brian is back on track to funny cartoons.

My dogs’ DNA tests were a bit of a surprise. The “lab/pit” turned out to be mostly “boxer/pit” while the “pointer/beagle” is actually mostly “border collie/beagle”.

Yeah…….. whatever THAT is.

Earl invents a new exotic sounding species.

Wonder who Earls ancestors are?

Cryptid.

Roscoe’s far back ancestors were wolves.

Ah, those darn flea flickers……

I just did a google search for Rhodesian Fleaflicker.

Family history—I am doing it, My family history. And the love I feel when I’m doing itIs very sweet to me.I learn stories of my progenitors; I write their history. I keep records of my loved ones.

That’s a worthwhile pedigree.

And if inhaled…

“Rhodesian Fleaflicker”. Sounds like a play that a NFL team would have in its playbook!

Roscoe is the kind of dog I would own! Good boy! ❤️

DE is very hazardous to breathe!
