Pickles by Brian Crane for September 17, 2020

Be sure you don’t strain yourself Earl when you help out around the house.

He makes all the big decisions, and she makes the little ones.

At my place it’s the opposite. I’m the one the does the cleaning/ I also work 40 hours and take care of the 2 yo. My older daughter takes care of the little one while I’m at work. My gf does work, but keeps all of the money to herself. Doesn’t clean, doesn’t cook. Doesn’t help take care of the little one. I’m usually exhausted everyday.

The eyes have it ! Thank – you Roscoe !

Don’t you feel better now that you have the peanut butter jar off your head, Roscoe?

Just a brief moment of madness, Earl. It will pass.

Good boy Earl. Good boy.

If he had a LaZBoy sofa, she wouldn’t have to ask.

Time for a new friend

Seek help…..or lay down some house rules…..one day something’s gotta give…..

Thank you , Brian for today Roscoe in all four panels . His eyes in all four panels are just precious .

I bet that Opal would not agree with Earl’s last statement.

Even Roscoe is amazed to see Earl move!

Their vacuum is as old as their car.

Dude….hello?

It took Earl 2 days to get over his sore abs.

When Earl lies around doing nothing, he’s just getting reps and building up stamina for when he’s dead, and has to do it all the time.

My wife lifts her feet for me when I’m vacuuming, she’ll even get up and move the chair to make it easier to get the dust under it. We’re retired and have divvied up the chores, she always hated vacuuming and I’ve never minded doing it.

My daughter and her husband live in a house that we own. The deal was that they would improve it (we pick up the major expenses) in lieu of rent. They both work 40 hrs/wk but she does all the housework, cooking, renovations around the house, and takes care of the 2 kids. He whines about what a POS the house is and does nothing. I’d love to kick him to the curb but that’s not my call to make.

WOW! Roscoe (the best character in this comic) has been in 9 of the last 10 strips.

Those fleeting moments of lucidity !!! Lol

Earl just gets comfortable on the couch and Opal decides to use the vacuum. How inconsiderate.

I hope he recovers quickly.

Earl needs to get up off his tush and do his share. Opal is not his slave.

He knows how to enjoy retirement…and so do I.
