Pickles by Brian Crane for December 16, 2020

Earl i would have suggested you show off your handyman skills and patch the ceiling if you had any. Maybe you can salvage whats left of the Christmas Tree.

Hopefully, they used unbreakable ornaments when they decorated the tree. Being old-timers, they might know that those exist.

Opal better not go blaming Muffin or Roscoe on the tree’s fall; how would they get up there is questioning.

The scourge of gravity! Seriously it’s a good thing. It does keep us rooted to the ground! :-)

Sums up 2020.

Don’t it just!

That’s a real ball buster!

The tree is frowning in panel 3 and smiling in panel 4!

Maybe a portent of things to come!

Earl: Agreed!

Thought that was going to happen after Christmas ;-)

Oh, Christmas Tree, we hardly knew ye…

And Gravity look in Earls direction and asked " just what the Hell do you think do you think your doing " Apologies to Douglas Adams .

yup, even the tree thinks this year stinks, not that being on the ceiling has anything to do with it.

EXACTLY

Gasp! Opal will be OOOHPINE-ing now!

When Prince Albert introduced Christmas trees to Great Britain, he hung them from the palace ceiling – not upside down, though.

I wondered how it stayed there as long as it did! ;o]

MUFFIN! Where did you get that screwdriver?

In the words of Werner Van Braun … “Vat goes up, must come down!”

True, and a great example why to wait a few years before buying that new Wonder Glue.

I saw on TV where a person had a Christmas tree with a train going round it on the ceiling. Didn’t fall.

Time to spruce up the place again.

How many soldiers have to die because The Tick’s gravity isn’t cruel enough? If it was as cruel as thought, we wouldn’t have a desolate city trying to take over NY to take over the entire country. We wouldn’t have soldiers fighting for their leader who prayed for the woman God gave him either, because we still have the right to pray. We would have more shovels and less chat AND we would know who keeps the books and why HE is trusted over someone with a backpack under constant attack. Just a heads up. And Pa isn’t stupid either. A tree dies when we cut one down know matter how we hang.

Upside-down Christmas trees were a fad a couple years ago. I’d forgotten about it until this comic.

Hmmm, might discourage cats.

When we erect our Festivus pole, I always use 3 or 4, #10-2" screws, just to keep that puppy from shifting.

Oh please, my hairdresser had an upside down Christmas tree in their shop window decades ago!

It sure does say it all! But 2021 will be better. Vaccines and NO MORE TRUMP!

That post from krisannrthomsom is more than a little bizarre. Maybe it’s A.I. generated?

Ben’s right. America has been in a “bizarro mode” since 2016. Right is wrong, left is right, bad is good, in is out…
