Pickles by Brian Crane for February 26, 2015

Maybe the caller(s) finally found Jeff.

That’s pretty deep for a two-dimensional cartoon character, Opal…

That’s pretty sad Opal, think about it. Tsk, tsk.

I hope the imaginary Jeff is okay.

I believe it was Mutt looking for Jeff…

Her friend has pupils and she’s not even a teacher! Surprised to see pupils in Pickles!

I think what opal really misses is the telephone constantly ringing because for a few minutes she talking to somebody who’s not earl.

After getting tons of calls for a beer joint, one woman didn’t believe I wasn’t the joint. She demanded repeatedly that I get her husband on the phone. After explaining many times that she misdialed and her husband wasn’t here at my house, I’d had enough. Next time she called I told her he didn’t want to talk to her and hung up. She must have gone directly to the bar and found him there and I never got another call. Hated to be mean but———

He ran off with Heather, or was it Rachel?

Opal, You are more popular than you think!

My first phone number came with debt collectors looking for some chick named Dana; it got so bad that her grandma was calling too.

I just got a cell phone a few weeks ago. It seems the prior owner of that number is a visiting nurse and hasn’t changed her number with all of the places she subbed for. I am gradually letting them know they have the wrong number. Not sure whether to get the number changed or not.

I figure that Opal should soon get a phone cal saying, “Hi, this is Jeff, have there been any calls for me?”…

Don’t worry Opal Jeff will call again, this can not just end with no more calls from Jeff, tune in tomorrow.

Emily: True. After a peaceful month, we got a call from Heather a couple days ago. Unless both identified and wanted, we don’t answer the phone at all, but wait for left messages (which is how we knew it was Heather). As far as we are concerned, she can stay on the hill.
