Pickles by Brian Crane for January 02, 2016

You’ll be sorry when he’s gone Opal, like to the grocery store. You will miss him and wish you’d told him important stuff, like you need eggs.

Maybe she shouldn’t strain so hard.

you’re making yourself a widower, Earl, if you keep stressing Opal

“And doing a jam~up job of it too, Opal.”

For a second I thought I was reading Real Life Adventures . . .

Go on in, Earl. She needs more stress in her life.

He’s what’s known as a “carrier.”

If Earl is causing her stress; she is strung too tight. He’s pretty laid back.

As my wife says “How can I miss you if you won’t go away?”

Everybody needs some “me time”

Stress ? My ex was the west coast distributor…

Keep asking questions while standing beside the door, Earl. That will counteract her actions.

Your the stress she is avoiding

Glad I’m single.

How successful do you really think that will be?
