Pickles by Brian Crane for December 22, 2024

At her age, housetops are not recommended.

Maybe she can sing Far, Far, Away

Also it looks like Roscoe was ready to howl!

Earl wants to hear Silent Night.

Wow!

… and where Gramma Opal might be “run over by a reindeer.”

LOL!!

Roscoe in panel five

Good save. Anyway, good try.

Look at the dog :)

how about solo, so low you can not be heard

Roscoe’s expressions are priceless!

I’ve been listening to them all season but haven’t felt like watching one holiday movie.

“…the reindeer pau-AH-H-H-H!” THUD!!

As a child, I always thought it was “Up on the housetop, reindeer paws….” Of course, reindeer have HOOVES. LOL

Very diplomatic, Earl,

Sorry, Earl, but getting up on the roof is your job, not Opal’s.

I like Roscoe covering his eyes in embarrassment in panel 5.

That’s the spirit Scrooge Earl.

The hills are alive with the sound of mooses!

Roscoe’s covering his ears, LOL. I love it!

Insert the classic “cat’s on the roof” joke here.

Maybe Earl is hoping for Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

Nice try, Earl!

Stifle yourself, Opal!

No, I do not want to hear the second verse, but I have called the ambulance. Can you feel your legs?

Roscoe is just precious today : )

Here, I’ll sing YOU one. “Staring up my nostrils, looking for boogs and brain tumor. Earl tries. And Earl tries. But I just cannot see the humor.”

You know, I always thought it was “reindeer paws” because that’s what you’d hear. Of course it never occurred to me that reindeer don’t have paws. LOL.

Roscoe REWLS. Best character in the strip. By a Country Mile!!! 8^D

Earl, Earl, Earl smh Lol

I thought reindeer had hooves…

Edith and Archie Bunker

I would have suggested ‘Far, Far Away’. Merry Christmas.

My dad told me to sing “on the road to Mandalay”.

GOOD IDEA..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGAIN my Sunday Pickles comic has panels that are not here! The first is in the title Pickles panel; Opal “What’s your favorite Christmas tradition, Earl?” Second panel, next to the first; “Switching the name tags on all the presents and watching the reactions”.

Roscoe found that one funny.

Title Frame:

These two are like a takeoff of The Honeymooners TV series in the 1950’s!

nice save

Not sure why, but apparently you are safer on the roof if you don’t wear a slip or slippers.

And while you’re there, replace the razor wire around the chimney.

Earl – always caring for the neighbors!

roscoe====5th panel!!

Roscoe. Hee hee.

My wife was asked to join the local Christmas choir and as long as I’ve known her she has never sang, she does hum a melody now and then. Apparently she’s an Alto – 2nd highest in 4 part harmony. I was pretty surprised:)

Opal, can’t you sing any higher-like up on the roof

He’s angling for the dog house again…

Where are all the guys who moan and groan about how mean Opal is ro Earl ?

reindeer paws not pause, I believe.
