Pickles by Brian Crane for December 10, 2022

I bet that’s not the first time for Roscoe and the tree…

Opal rests her case, Earl.

This strip rated P.

Stick with the Charlie Brown Tree this year , Have you seen the price of a Real Tree this year ?

Go ahead, Opal; it’s your carpet.

You’re no Charlie Brown, and your dog isn’t Snoopy. He’s more like Schroeder, a pianist.

I’m afraid “watering” in this case is no longer of any use…

miracle grow

“Anointing” the Christmas tree?

Remember the famous poem? “I think that I will never see, A tree on which I cannot pee”!

Bring Linus and the rest of the Peanuts gang to fix the tree up!

How often do you hear Opal agreeing with Roscoe?

Therin is 1 of three reasons we do not have a tree.

They’re going to need to get a new dog.

The greatest Roscoe shows his opinion with a " wiz " how wonderful : )

Everyone’s a critic, Earl!

Snoopy never did that.

I’d prefer to believe Rosco is leaving a message for Snoopy. Adding some tinkle tinsel… In the spirit of the season of course.

I’ll get my coat,….!

So Opal’s going to pee on the tree, too?

What Roscoe is doing, is probably what killed it.

To Roscoe it is just a new twist for indoor plumbing

More and proper stabilizing decoration for the tree. Out with Roscoe … for a while.

Now THAT’S just nasty……… I’m sorry

I’m surprised Brian Crane got this one past the editors.

Roscoe rules!

Again, funny.

Ah Roscoe is just watering it, hoping it will grow back.

Is this Brian’s opinion of the CB tree?

Roscoe gets the kudos today!

I wonder what the cat will do to it?

Thank goodness, Roscoe isn’t also a squatter or their lawn would have countless dead spots.

" Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree/ Thy branches smell of doggy pee."

There was a cartoon on Facebook where the family was setting up the tree, and their dog said to the cat [standing by his litterbox] “you’re not the only one with an indoor bathroom”

At least Muffin probably won’t bother to climb it.

Succinct.

If you want the tree to be beautiful, you have to adorn it with the lights and other decorations from Roscoe’s dog house. Of course, then he’ll have a different reason to provide his own “special touch.”
