Pickles by Brian Crane for March 31, 2016

Well, Opal, that scarf can always be Nelson’s.

There’s a time to knit and a time to unravel.

I am sure you can think of someone else who could use it

Wow, I’ve never seen a Pickles like that…

That’s kind of a dark joke for this strip.

some knitting projects are like that.

Judging from the length of that scarf, Opal’s been knitting this for a long time.

That’s OK, Hazel’s cold by now.

I’m really good at starting projects and putting them aside unfinished. Anything could happen before I pick them up again.

Depends on where Cousin Hazel is now. She might not need any warm accessories.

As long as I’m not featured on the Irish Sports Page ( Obituaries )or the Police Log, then I know it’s going to be a good day !

Ironically, her favorite cable TV show was the History Channel’s “Scarves of the Dead”.

Way better than the alternative.

Sorry, guys. I laughed out loud at this one.

I recently Googled the name of a friend I hadn’t seen in over thirty years. I found out she died in December. Sixty years old. I will NOT be looking online for any more old friends.

gotta start over….

I also found this a bit funny since she has knitted a very long scarf which took her ages to do.

(Awaiting abuse)

i love this

“Where there is life death follows.”.And yet every bacterium alive has never died..It might have split in two several times per hour for the past 4 billion years and had most of its offspring (the other half of each split) die, but it never has.

If you had a relative with dementia who repeatedly forget the death of loved ones and then went through grief over and over every time they remembered, sometimes multiple times a day, you would understand that that isn’t funny. Not even a little bit.
