Pickles by Brian Crane for February 01, 2024

Grew them in a day?

Roscoe must have exhausted himself by all that commotion about being adopted…

Named after Ambrose Burnside.

Does he have trouble lifting his razor that high?

I thought he already had them…

Overnight?

In one day?!?

You know, he just needs to stop trying to communicate with this woman.

Opal is so supportive, isn’t she?!

Opal, he wants to be a bit like Elvis and give you a “Hunka,Hunka Burning Love”!

Aw, he just combed his ear hairs outward.

Imagine if Earl insulted Opal the same as she insults him all the time. She is so unlikable.

If Earl grows his sideburns until they meet his mustache, he can claim he looks presidential. Chester A. Arthur presidential, that is.

It’s not the sideburns that made him seem different. It is the feeling of confidence he exudes knowing that he is growing them… Or perhaps he needs to change his socks.

hey!

Roscoe is the " best " pal ever : )

I’m sure they can’t compete with her mustache.

Come on, Opal! Where would Earl get a sweater All By Himself? Did it look like he found it in the street?

Well, I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s so I like sideburns on men.

I usually agree with your comments about Earl Opal but not today. That was rude.

There is a wide and deep streak of meanness in Opal…

Speaking of something DUMB…….

Can she not say something derrogatory?!

True story. Yesterday I was trimming my beard and started on my sideburns, but forgot to put the spacer on. You can guess the rest – I’m a little lopsided. Even more than normal.

Something Dumb? thats not very nice Opal.

To Opal, EVERYTHING Earl does is dumb. So…why did she marry him in the first place? Just so Pearl could not marry him?

Ouch! Sideburns are not dumb.

Oh, come on, Opal. They don’t look that bad on Earl.

Opal, every smart a… comment you make is dumb.

Nothing different about Opal. Mean and fat as ever.

A bit of jealousy?

He is Earl…..nothing is impossible for him!

Burn!

All of next week, he’ll be an Elvis impersonator.

Most of the things we do are dumb on one level or another.

Wish the ol’ Mutton Chops’d come back in style!!

He let his nose hairs grow out.

Opal has become much more dismissive and rude

It would be hard to stay married to a partner that disrespected you that much.
