You just made Opals day Earl, but the look on your face says that’s not what you had in mind. You did read the definition of that word didn’t you.
Earl you sly dog.
It is hard to look up a word if you don’t know how to spell it. It would be interesting if they looked up 2 different words due to a spelling error.
How sweet!
They fight all the time because they love each other.
This brings the cartoon business to a higher level.
Very nice of him
“I do not think that word means what you think it means.”
And a good time was had by all ! … 10 points for each side :-)
It’s a good thing he didn’t decide to call her “callipygian”. It’s a compliment, but I’m not sure she’d take it quite as well.
Awwww…!
Eschew Obfuscation!
If you were trying to “return the favor” Earl, then you should have chosen a different word!
you know I decided to look up that word, as soon as I typed pul, It came up, I can’t imagine the amount of people who Googled it after reading this strip
Opal actually has a book with word definitions? Where did she find that?
What we have here is a curve ball.
LOL! Earl just saw a big word and ran with it….he’ll never do THAT again….
I’m amazed that he could even PRONOUNCE that…… and equally amazed that she could SPELL it..!!!!!
See, that’s all it takes, a kind or sweet word.
The “trouble” I’ve always had with that word is that is SOUNDS unlovely. . .know what I mean???
So lovely and old fashioned. Opal looks in a book. Quaint.
See, He’s been married long enough to know how to play that game.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
And Rosco politely left the room…
Gullible.
What’s going on here? The other day he gives Opal a liplock that sends her into a tizzy ; now she’s giving him noggin smooch…..Sweet!
Thank you for giving us a smile every day! Been reading “Pickles” since before we turned into Earl and Opal ourselves.
Earl’s such a liar, and it’s hard to believe Opal’s buying it!
Earl can be a sly old fellow at times.
Earl has become a sesquipedalian.
I guess even Earl can do something smart on occasion.
Earl is smarter than a lot of people give him credit.
It took Earl an hour practicing how to say the word.
You might even get a little tonight.
Zoftig.
Bet you anything he mixed it up with “pugnacious”
I think he bought his glasses when he was 30.
Awe, you dog, Earl!
Love Earl’s reaction. Just too funny.
WELL PLAYED!
Well, he got laid for sure.
A pinnacle of feminine pulchritude….!!!
Ha! Shades of the movie “Akeelah and the Bee,” spelling bee flick, “pulchritude” was the championship word.
His consideration is one factor, but I don’t think he actually expected the result.
Earl is even lousy at insulting Opal.
Smooth talker.
