Pickles by Brian Crane for August 01, 2023

Roscoe doesn’t care where it was hidden in the fridge Earl. He just want’s some of that cheese.

Male patterned blindness. Happens at cabinets and fridge and freezers.

That’s a big hunk of cheese. What does he do with that much cheese?

Looks like Gumment cheese.

Roscoe’s happy. He’s getting cheese!

I cheddar to think of it.

Roscoe’s happy about it.

I cannot find things if I “know” where they are and they’ve been moved far enough to not attract my eye. Or if it’s upside down, in a different colored box or with a different label. Or if I’m just having a bad “recognizer” day…

I, as a male, suffer with the inability to see things in the fridge that are hiding in plain sight.

I think a deep study of male fridge/ cupboard blindness could be a sure winner for the next Ig-Nobel.

I have the same problem. It’s always right in front of me.

Roscoe care not about the situation between Opal and Earl. All he knows is “cheese.”

“Can’t see the forest for the trees’!

Later on Earl will cut that cheese! (In a matter of speaking)!

roscoe’s all like " shut up and cheese me "

That is how she Earl-Proofs the fridge.

And sock drawers…

The purloined dairy product.

I resemble that remark.

I thought this whole strip was cheesy…

Maybe if it was LABELED…… oh wait – never mind

Last week I couldn’t find the lids for some food storage buckets. Turned out my wife left the buckets in one room and the lids in another.

Eyes wide shut.. good movie

Hiding things in plain sight? It’s a woman thing.

Yep…smile Roscoe, smile!

Cheese Louise!

The human eyes-brain “filling in phenomena” (blind spots) must have missed the cheese.

It’s a dominant male genetic trait called “Refrigerator Blindness”.

That is one HUGE block of cheese.

Time for new glasses, or a spelling lesson?

Oh wow, I think I’m married to this guy, except he goes by a different name.

I live alone and hide everything from myself.

I hide things in plain sight in my fridge and can never find them.

That’s one very tall refrigerator! Earl will need a step ladder to get things from the freezer.

Earl’s portrayal as a know-nothing, good-for-nothing buffoon will never end. Nothing politically incorrect about that.

Oy!

The best hiding place is in an area you least expect. Under your nose!

Hey, it worked for Minister D- in “The Purloined Letter”.

1. It’s a Sniper’s conspiracy. 2. And also like me, he isn’t aware of those lovely kitchen sink curtains.

I have recently reached a conclusion based on self-observation: Men usually miss what is right in front of them because they assume that what they want is hidden. Thus they always look around and behind the object in front of their nose.

It’s not just old folks, I’ve seen kids do the same thing…

If Opal keeps showing him where things are in the fridge, he will stay childlike and unable to help himself. It’s pitiful. If he’s hungry enough, and she doesn’t help, he will eventually find the cheese. I live alone. I can find everything.

Love that goofy Roscoe smile!

He didn’t see it because you don’t expect real cheese to come in a box.

Well, rest assured that Opal now knows that she can cram a corpse in the fridge and Eagle-eye Earl won’t ever notice as long as she keeps the Arm & Hammer box replenished (known as the Twisted Pickle episodes now on SYFY Channel. Check you local list to time.)

I swear, Brian Crane must have a spy camera in my house!

My wife moves stuff around too…and NOT in plain sight.
