Pickles by Brian Crane for January 03, 2023

poor Roscoe (and any dog for that matter)

Poor Roscoe is gonna make himself sick going around in circles like that !

the day you stop chasin tail is they day you stop livin life to the fullest

Earl’s wrong about days seeming short when you’re a kid. Only some days seem short – the ones in which you’re having fun. Other seem very long like math class which I thought would never end.

When you’re long in years, your shorts seem long, but when you’re short, you long for shorts.

Or something.

When I was very young I imagined what The Future would be like, mine and the World’s. I would write out each Future year and think what would be happening then. Of course, my guesses were wildly optimistic. I did not write great stories, or become a concert pianist, or become President of the World, or the first Man on Mars — at least not yet — and time is running out …

The year 2023 was unimaginably distant, and I didn’t even write it down. But I was optimistic that there would be freedom and peace worldwide, led by America. (Sigh)

Roscoe is the greatest!

When you’re young, the days seemed so long, but when you get old, the years fly by!

Earl, the Philosopher!

And what would happen if you were able to catch your tail, Roscoe?

I love the look on a dog’s face when it finally catches that tail: Now what???

Seeming is believing.

Dogs chase their tail because they’re bored

Earl’s experience is fairly common to many seniors. Retirement does that.

Roscoe and I have the same problem.

Words to LIVE by……

Everyone likes a holiday, so, I have launched a campaign to make my B’day a worldwide holiday. We’re off to a slow start, but, lets pull together and we can make a miracle happen.

LOL! My Tigger chases his tail at times!

All I gotta say is being retired is the best- worst time of my life. I love being home but am BORED to death! I retired @ 78 because of Covid…in 2020! ☹️

In a nutshell. The rest is commentary.

How about BOTH seem short. But then, this is Kansas…

Nelson doesn’t see friends his own age often enough.

My dog Archie chases his tail. Once he caught it and pulled himself over!

Happy tails to you, until we meet again…………………………………………………….

Poor Roscoe……..

I’m long retired, but clearly remember those career days. One great solution was a letter from my bosses boss to their bosses boss.

I have to admit I don’t know Jacques Sheet.

Half a belly laugh…

How’s about some arcs featuring the great and beautiful, one and only, multi-talented + hilarious MUFFIN.

This has been fun to follow today… a plethora of punsters present.

Leave it to Roscoe to steal the show! ;-p

As Lucy once said in ‘Peanuts’: ‘We need longer years.’

When your middle aged the years seem short and the days seem shorter.

For me, at 73, both the days and years seem short.
