Opal do both. Smack him one then give Earl a big kiss.

Which is the entire problem Opal

Yes. That’s the only real answer to kiss him or clobber him. Yes.

He got cha Opal!

Both?

Kiss him now! Clobber him later -He won’t no know why - So he’ll apologize all over the place— And ya got a twofer!

Based on her recent performances, she’’ll choose the latter.

Nice table and plant.

About the sweater: I am completely with Earl❣️

Picture on the wall (above plant) is one of the Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Haha Earl had to get a dig in and get away with it

He said it had sentimental value because she gave it to him, +1. He pulled it out of the trash to wear it, -1. He implied Opal is old and shabby, -2.

Smack him.

Clobber him with a kiss?

Frick & Frack. True love!

We don’t need a “POW! RIGHT IN THE KISSER!” thing.

“It’s CLOBBERIN’ Time!”

In that kind of multiple choice, act on the worst one first. You can always recover with the other.

Clobber him, then kiss and make up.

\\//_

She will clobber him, she always does.

To the moon, Opal! To the moon!!

Earl isn’t too skilled at communication.

Kiss him, Opal. You know Earl’s a keeper.

And so’s she.

I have a John Deere sweatshirt that I got in 2000. It is practically falling apart but I would not trade that thing for the world. It is like an old friend—never going to give it up! (Can you hear Rick Astley now? lol :-) )

Thin ice. THIN ICE!

I have t-shirts from the 1990s. They are part of my history, but they don’t have holes. It’s his sweater. Just walk away, let him enjoy it.

Clobberkiss!!

Trust your 1st instinct……

A kiss, then his least favorite meal.

Hopefully she’ll go with the kiss and forget about the clobber by then ……. at least this time …………. :)

I have some t-shirts that are 20 years old.

Glad Earl wasn’t sitting in his chair, Opal would have flipped it

Earl, master of ambiguity.

Clobber

He always seems to be asking for one or the other

Sounds like Earl is going to get a pass this time.

Love it…

Love this

How is it that ratty after only a few years? Did he wear it 24/7?
