Harpy Harpy Harpy

She’s one to talk about being full on the bottom.

Maybe she was referring to his hair.

Glass houses dear.

Must you “O-Pine” Opal?

Opal lives in a glass house and shouldn’t throw stones.

What’s needling her. She pines so much.

She does like to needle Earl

LOL! Good one Opal but now it’s Earl’s turn. ;)

It looks like a nice tree to me. I think Earl did a great job picking it out.

She is quite mean quite often.

she’s such an angel

⧸S

Add some balls… just for decoration

Um, that describes her more and I’m surprised Earl didn’t say that. He has little sense of elf-preservation.

She is full of it.

Tis’ the reason for the season.

Is it just me or is Opal getting meaner as time goes on?

Like she’s got any room to talk

I can’t believe she let Earl make a decision on his own.

Good one, Opal!

Meanest wife in the comics!

She just CAN’T leave him alone.!!!

Well, I think it’s a nice tree.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

No, it reminds me of you Opal, you and the tree will be tossed in 3 weeks…

Opal is treading a pine line.

But you GOT to have that long branch on top to impale the angel with

My sister and BIL had their 50th during Covid. He died and she told me after what she missed the most was his turning her light out, she realized that was his way of showing love. He wasn’t real demonstrative but I could always see that he loved her. Now she’s died and they’re together again.

“No, I got this tree because it reminds me of YOU, Opal. It’s extra sappy and smells like toilet cleaner!”

Attagirl….you nailed it!

Sheesh! Enough already,opal‼️ If life with Earl is THAT bad pack your bags and get out! Oh,yeah never mind cuz your free ride would be over,eh?

Opal have you looked behind you lately. Have you wondered why Earl is always quietly singing one particular song over and over?

Are you gonna take me home tonight?

Oh, down beside that red firelight

Are you gonna let it all hang out?

Fat bottomed girls

You make the rockin’ chair go ’round

Hey, I was just a skinny lad

Never knew no good from bad

But I knew life before I left my nursery, huh

Left alone with big fat Fanny

She was such a naughty nanny

Hey, big woman

You made a bad boy out of me

Hey, hey

I’ve been singing with my band

Cross the water, across the land

I’ve seen every blue eyed floozy on the way, hey

But their beauty and their style

Went kind of smooth after a while

Take me to them dirty ladies every time

Come on

Oh, won’t you take me home tonight?

Oh, down beside your red firelight

Oh, and you give it all you got

Fat bottomed girls

You make the rockin’ chair go ’round

Fat bottomed girls

You make the rockin’ chair go ’round

Hey, listen here

Now, I got mortgages on homes

I got stiffness in my bones

Ain’t no beauty queens in this locality, I tell you

Oh, but I still get my pleasure

Still got my greatest treasure

Hey, big woman, you gonna make a big man of me

Now get this

Oh, down beside that red firelight

Are you gonna let it all hang out?

Fat bottomed girls

You make the rockin’ chair go ’round (yeah)

Fat bottomed girls

You make the rockin’ chair go ’round

Get on your bikes and ride

Ooh, yeah

Oh yeah

Them fat bottomed girls

(Fat bottomed girls)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Alright, ride ’em cowboy

Fat bottomed girls

Yes, yes

After reading the previous comments for today’s strip, I have this to say: " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

He’s not full on the bottom … he’s not carrying his magazine.

Just add some tinsel and it will be fine.

Pot calling the kettle black!

No bunny slippers today, Opal?

At least Earl isn’t like Opal, who’s full all-over.
