Pickles by Brian Crane for April 11, 2019

I bet the house’s previous occupants had the same thought, Earl.

Good point, Earl. From now on, I’m swearing off housekeeping! Why should I keep cleaning house for the next people who will live here after I’m gone? (just kidding!)

The man has a point! Vacuuming is one of the chores I most loathe (I could be part cat). ;p

Sort of a “Why me, Lord” look for Opal in the final panel?

Earl is the “New” Pa Kettle !

Can a Roomba keep up with cat hair?

Because in the meantime, You have to live there!

Earl is talking like they’ll be gone next week…=,’~{

He swept the room with a glance.

“After we’re dead” might come sooner for Earl than he realized. In which case, keep on sitting there.

The wisdom of Earl, or the laziness!

Is Earl a B.O. Plenty type? (Dick Tracy)

Why do they have that heavy dinosaur Kirby? Save your back get a lighter one!!

Not to get serious in a comic comment section, but they could give the house to their cute little grandson so he can have a nice place to raise his family some day. There, Earl, feel better!

I’ll add that to my list of excuses why I don’t vacuum as often as I should :)

There’s a forward-thinking man!

Do it for the dog.

Oh Earl… Earl … Earl … LOL

Opal is counting! I’m no stranger to that expression!

Don’t disturb my dust bunny menagerie!

point

Now that’s taking rationalizing to a new level.

That almost made me spew my soda.

One of these days Earl, Pow to the Moon!

I think my mother’s answer to that would have been, “Because, you want them to think you knew enough to keep your home nice.”

First time I notice Opal’s bunny slippers
