Pickles by Brian Crane for December 29, 2009

You will make a dandy foot stool for short legged little old ladies, Earl.

This is why some men enjoy being single. No straw boss hovering…..

Just throw a rug over him Opal.

… then invite your friends to wipe their feet.

Roll him under the couch!

Sure Opal. Earl did this just to emarrass and inconvenience you.

All of the above are good suggestions and I’d add to laugh at him. He’ll get up and out of the way fast enough.

Oh and make sure your topic of conversation for today is “stupid things my husband does that embarrass me.”

When YOU get to be Earl’s & MY age; you’ll probably find a hard surface may help and it might be dufficult to get up after! :-[ I’m pretty sure Brian knows!

Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up………………………………

I’ve got to stop reading the comments on this strip. So many Opal haters!

Next step the couch. He learnrd from looking at ANDY comic strips

Keep them in the kitchen…

Help! I’m laying down and I can’t get up!

(that will be my line soon enough!) ( ^ _ ^ )

(oops. Lonewolf you beat me to it…)

I hope Earl will not have another hip injury, too.

Looks like Earl’s……. turned…TURTLE…

I wonder if turtles ever have bad backs?…

Just read it Joe.

and please be silent.

Unfortunately BigGreen, Joe has the right to comment.

But silence is golden…

Ah, such a conundrum… ;)

And to compliment choll’s prose.

Earl’s on the floor… His back to the ground… Opal’s deaf……his voice she misses Earls deaf too… Yet at night….. Earl gives her kisses…. And when they both rise… Opal still says….. Lower the toilet seat or… Your gonna get a surprise…
