Pickles by Brian Crane for August 14, 2009

Oh, come on, he’s old! When you hit a certain age, things get noisier.

Uh oh, why is he hiding behind the newspaper?

Carmy, maybe Opal puts the cloth pin on Earl’s nose to stop noise.

The NEW noise won’t be fixed with tweezers and scissors!

mustache ruined

Opal is lucky to have the old man so she should chill.

I expected the paper to drop and a clothespin to be on his nose.

Jack is right. Many widows wish they could hear those annoying noises again.

I told you this would happen.

There is a new plug on the market called “The Windjammer”, Maybe Opal can secure one for Earl…..

“It was the dog”… Yeah, I use that one too.

Opal makes an annoying noise: endless chatter.

With her teeth noise, too!

Maybe it was a barking spider!

The look on the dog’s face says it wasn’t him!

Oh S.B.D., Earl?

Although his face is buried in the newspaper, was Earl’s ‘stache trimmed completely away?

If Earl does have a clothespin on his nose, he wouldn’t be able to smell it - therefore he could not have dealt it!
