Pickles by Brian Crane for January 13, 2010

Why would a hawk attack a paper airplane?

Just to bother Earl.. He can’t do one thing right.

First a crash and burn now a hawk what’s next a guided missile ?

It was a doomed flight from the get go, Earl.

Wow..a lesson on aerodynamics and on nature in one fell swoop! Way to go Earl.

Just when it’s looking up, it falls apart for Earl!

EarlWash from yesterday….

My dad proudly served in the Air Force for 26 years.

Well you can’t have planes crashing & burning in the house, so the next logical step was to take it outside where anything can and will happen.

Well… at least it didn’t crash!

It has been reported that model airplanes have been attacked by hawks.

must be that annoying noise aerwalt

Be careful Earl lest that hawk come swooping down on you.

As did my brother-inlaw for 31 years as a class room instructor in aircraft hydraulics, whom I admire. My sister lost him April 1, ‘09 at 81 years.

I am sure you have every reason to be most proud of your dad.

I commend them for their selfless service to our country.

That paper airplane never saw it coming.

Maybe Charlie Brown legally changed his name to Earl Pickles when he got older and married (after the honeymoon), but he’s still the same born-loser person.

Why are you so hard on these characters???

Well, if at first, second and third you don’t succeed… fly, fly again…

I don’t think Earl is a loser. He and Opal are very funny and I enjoy reading this strip every day. They sort of remind me of me and my husband as we get older.

Choll, agreed! Plus, he isn’t even nice a lot of the time, nor does he seem to get the actual humor of the strips he’s commenting so faithfully on.

I love Pickles…Earl totally cracks me up.
