Pickles by Brian Crane for July 28, 2023

Score one for Opal. Again.

I bet if Roscoe ‘asked’, he would get a bowl ofhis favorite food.

Earl, you should remind her of the way that Dagwood leaves the kitchen after he makes a sandwich for himself. She might be more inclined to make one for you.

I never eat butter or margarine on bread, rolls etc. For some reason I want to vomit if that stuff gets inside my mouth. I can’t even tolerate the smell. One Christmas I was upstairs and my mother was downstairs warming up some hot cross buns. She called up to me, “Michael, do you want butter on your buns?” I hollered down, “No!”. My mother, after a pause, started to laugh. I know what she was thinking—she was imaging butter on my rear end. I told her to grow up! :-)

Time for the über-geek joke:

Make me a sandwich.

No.

PLEASE make me a sandwich.

No.

sudo please make me a sandwich.

What kind?

You need a new Sandwich Maker Earl

Which sandwich sand witch?

That’s known that communication is the key of a great couple relationship.

There’s not a reason in the World why Earl can’t just make his own sandwich.

Earl: “I see that I’m not getting a sandwich.”

Why is she averse to making Earl a sandwich?!

Earl: Opal, would you like to have a sandwich? Opal: Yes. Earl: While you’re at it, please make one for me too….

Miss Manners’ job is in danger.

At this point, should he just stare at her, or say ‘no’?

Puppy-dog eyes: Fail. Staring: Fail. Asking outright: Fail. Not too many options left in Earl’s armoury!

Time to learn how to make a sandwich, Earl!

She saved Earl a lot of time there. He should be grateful.

She should have said:

“POOF You’re a sandwich.”

Earl is how old and he can’t put meat/cheese or peanut butter/jelly on slices of bread?

and with great results too. :D

Earl, get up and make both of you lunch!

Not really. I still don’t have my sandwich.

She made him ask and refused. Then gloated about it. That isn’t very nice.

You gotta love them……

What, are his legs broke?!

Next time you ask her, Earl, say please.

Keep staring. It is clearly making her uncomfortable. She will make the sandwich just to get you to stop staring. Or lock herself in the bathroom.

I think he’s perfectly capable of making his own sandwich. He seems to be an adult.

No

Maybe go make it YOURSELF..???? ( and be sure to leave a HUGE mess )

When I walked in her slippers, I had to grow long curled toenails to keep them on.

I’d love to make my own sandwich, my way. I miss my own cooking, but since we remodeled, my wife has banned me from the kitchen. She thinks I’ll leave a fingerprint on one of the new stainless steel appliances.

It’s 2023 -why are men (of any age) still being portrayed as being to helpless to fix their own meals/snacks? If you categorize women (in any fashion) you’re a sexist pig – yet men are fair game? So much for equality.

someday she’ll miss having him to make sandwiches for

I agree with Opal — it’s better. Quick answer, so he can decide if he wants to make his own sandwich, go out for one, or just do without.

MY GOOODDDD!!!! Is this a COMIC STRIP? Orrrrr…. “The Kate and Moon, WHINE FEST”
