Pickles by Brian Crane for July 04, 2023

Earl you just love sticking your foot in your mouth.

Opal, have I ever told you how sensuous you are? Sensuous up, could you bring me the paper, please?

You need to get a recliner, Earl.

“Get my newspaper, woman!” works every time.

Try it, people. Trust me on this one.

Roscoe will get your paper, Earl, but he can’t move the chair up again.

“Shame on Earl for trying to put the dog out of a job!!”

㋡ can’t teach an old cow new tricks

Earl learns a valuable lesson…..it’s less painful to get the paper yourself.

Crazy green socks!

Careful, Earl. Opal bites.

your husband is getting old and frail Opal, you’re gonna break him if you keep knocking him down! Anyway I thought Earl’s 1st request was perfectly polite

Where Earl finally learns how to move his lazy but without effort…

You’re sitting, spouse is standing and doing nothing = ask spouse politely to do something for you. You’re sitting, spouse is working = get off your a$$ and do it yourself.

My husband says to me, “Less talky-talky, more fetchy-fetchy”.

He said “Please”.

I’m afraid ‘fetch’ is a kind of trigger word, guy!

Earl you are Sooooooo … Lazy ! Happy 4th of July !

You can’t win Earl!

See what you did, Earl? You woke Roscoe up from a perfectly good nap!

All is good , Roscoe is in today : )

Better is ‘Would you get the newspsper’ Even better, get the paper yourself.

“Good girl, Opal!” (Scratching behind her ears.

Talk to ME like that, you’ll be seeing stars, alright…

Leave the gun, take the cannoli…..

.Bada Bing Bada Bang!

She’s just being over reactively sensitive.

Who needs WORDS WITH FRIENDS when you can have WORDS WITH SPOUSES.

newspaper???

No, you haven’t, Earl!

Earl has always suffered from foot-in-mouth disease. 8>)

And…. run me out a beer too!

HAND me the paper, please.

;)

Kinda touchy there,opal…..or is prickly a better word? ;-)

Earl does not learn.

Perhaps some quality time with Roscoe. Lead by example Earl.

I was in a local supermarket in our tourist town. A man at one end of an aisle dog-whistled to his wife at the other end. I could see them both and how they simultaneously realized he had made a major mistake. Man, I would not want to be on that looong ride home. :(

Sheesh! Earl could get seriously hurt with that kind of treatment!

Stop trying to make “fetch” happen, Earl.

Maybe just get it yourSELF..? (just sayin’)

Deserved it, Earl!!! Nice going, Opal!!!!

Yup … a sure sigh of dementia.

Thought bubble for Roscoe——“There is barely enough room for ME in the dog house.”

I never understood why just “bring” wasn’t used.

Is that a “NO” ……. :0

Not for me it wouldn’t. My answer…off your butt and get it yourself!

Not good at words but somehow managed “Marry me Opal?” It must’ve gone downhill from there, fast.

Very funny, big laugh, made my day(so close to the truth)…

…poor guy needs a thesaurus!

Watch….Earl going to find a way to nail the legs of that chair to the floor and Opal really going to be upset

… shoulda just asked the dog
