Pickles by Brian Crane for October 03, 2021

Guess Earl will never know…since Roscoe took advantage of his momentary lapse of concentration!

“Studies have shown that if you forego bacon, you will live seven years longer. Seven LONG, unhappy BACONLESS years!”

— seen several places online

Roscoe obviously doesn’t want to live forever, either.

Would she prefer a deep-fried Mars bar instead?

Roscoe looks happy.

I bet that more people would die from not eating than from eating them.

Roscoe says Thank – You Earl !

Who do you think you are, Opal – this isn’t Gasoline Alley!

Somehow I don’t think Earl got it…

Earl and Thurgood Marshall would have understood each other. Marshall said, “If I’d known I was going to live this long, I never would have given up smoking and drinking.”

Not just a deep-fried Twinkie. A deep-fried Twinkie on a stick! One more indication that state fair season is upon us.

Well done, Roscoe! :D

Don’t twinkies last forever?

Like Roscoe’s expression last panel!

Heart attack on a stick!

Maybe the preservatives will make things even.

My last bloodwork said 345 for one of the cholesterol tests. My daughter (cardiac RN) got a little miffed when I told her don’t worry about it. I got high score at the blood lab that week. Changing life starting 2 weeks ago.

You’d mostly find deep fried Twinkies at state fairs and county fairs and maybe pumpkin farm food stands.

Who fried the twinki for him?

Lol! He certainly didn’t hesitate…

You snooze you lose Earl. Roscoe got your deep-fried Twinkie.

Deep fried or not, a twinkie is an organic hand grenade to the body.

With that nagging, who would want to live another day? Damn it’s just a Twinkie!

What about “the meek shall inherit the Earth”?

I got my grandson one of those at the fair. He took one bite and threw the rest away.

Well, as long as I can.

HEY! That’s my line.

Deep frying almost anything makes it taste good.

That’s because Cholesterol is what they put in food to make it more appealing.

The only way I’d want to live forever is if my body didn’t degrade over time… and if people stopped reproducing

Well, nobody wants to die with a dissatisfied sweet tooth!

And the winner of this year’s Junkiest Food contest is …

Ya snooze, Ya lose..!!!!!! (hahahahahaha)

Roscoe obviously doesn’t care what it does to a dog’s body.

Deep fried twinkies were invented by the pharmaceutical industry so they could sell more Statins.

I don’t like Twinkies even when not they’re not deep-fried – much better junk food to be had in Mexico anyway!

Cue Queen’s theme to “The Highlander”!

For a couple of reasons, my eating habits changed to the healthier side of the spectrum in the last six months. But I’m not a purist, and I like trying new things (recently tried Alligator Chowder). If I were at a street fair where they were offering a deep-fried twinkie, I might be tempted, just once, to see what it’s all about. But neither the unfried nor the deep-fried variety would become a regular part of my diet.

Why don’t they deep fry Susie Q’s?

Channeling Sgt. York.

♪ FAME! ♪

I knew someone who fried candy bars, sold them at events, he had diabetes, he lost his feet.

Live a long time and your last years will be filled with pain, dementia, and/or other woes. You may end up in an old folks home waiting to die.

Wait, they’re not at the fair – where did that deep fried twinkie come from??? Hope Roscoe liked it.

You snooze, you lose (your Twinkie)

Not forever but not in excruciating pain, thanks.

the dog solved that problem
