might as well use the toaster, Earl, if you want to look at yourself shaving, brushing your teeth, tying your necktie, etc.

Ah, shoot the messenger – that always never works!

She should try Earl’s solution — Put shaving cream on her face.

Mirror mirror on the wall.. just to let you know I don’t like you at all…

Seen a mirror that fit with my self image. Tall, slim and handsome. Unfortunately, the funhouse operator said it wasn’t for sale.

You’d think retailers would be smart and always have “skinny mirrors” in the dressing rooms.

Opal just don’t look in the mirror ! That way the mirror won’t break :-))

Kinda just goes to prove what you can’t see wont hurt you… kinda…

For those just tuning in, see yesterday’s strip for the real Opal is having this issue!

Poor Opal can’t face reality she’s growing old. Methinks Opal is a bit on the vein side…lol

" I would rather look marvelous than feel marvelous, Johnny"

Remember Opal, “Beauty is only skin deep”

Brava, Opal!

Yesterday I was looking at some pics of me and him taken 10 years ago. Wish I hadn’t.

“You’re only pretty as you feel”

I love my bathroom mirror. It makes me look better than I am. I just have to remember not to look in any other mirrors.

Finally, some likable humanity in Opal! I was tempted to remove our mirror a couple of years ago, then I was treated for cancer. Not only was the baldness funny and fascinating, it drove home that a strong sense of self, plus a good sense of humor, can absolutely defy feeling old or ugly or broken. :-)

And then she look at him and say " Are you really going to go out looking like that?"

One day, I visited an ancient neighbor and noticed all his mirrors were covered. I was too shy to ask how a vampire can see a mirror. But now, I’m too drained to think about it.

Works for me.

Bad enough that others have to look at me.

That dog cracks me up

I’ve had days like that too, Opal.

My kind of solution.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

At least Earl realised the mirror was gone. He might have gotten the idea he was gone.
