Pickles by Brian Crane for September 15, 2023

You did give him permission.

The Brezhnev look.

I’m certain it’s not a make-up pencil but I hope it’s not a sharpie or such!

Nelson, the budding artist.

Now do a ’stache to be like Grampa. It worked for Groucho. Earl, get on YouTube and show him Groucho.

No, cancel that. He’s too young and impressionable to be influenced by a ‘wisenheimer’.

If it doesn’t wash off he won’t be saying, “oh yeah”.

Grampa is about to have a heart attack.

What will his friends say, much less his Mother?!

Puttin’ on the ol’ war paint.

Didn’t understand my daughter getting her brows threaded, then darkened. Seems like you should only need one or the other… Says the bushy browed old man.

Mr. Spock would say, “Fascinating.” (Back in the day, more than boy imitated Spock by adjusting their eyebrows.)

Is it me or does Roscoe have a look of foreboding in the third panel?

Hopefully, that’s a Sharpie Nelson’s using, and he’ll look like Groucho Marx for a couple of weeks.

While he’s at it, he could add a Groucho mustache.

I think some women get them tattooed dark.

Oh no. Now they’re going to put him on puberty blockers and cut off his yoo-hoo.

I thought sharpies were for drawing hurricane paths on maps.

I had a teacher that used to draw hers in about an inch above where they were supposed to be so that she always had a surprised look

oh dear… :{

Oh NOOOoooooo…………

LOL! I did that when I got into my mom’s makeup bag too. I always liked to stand by and watch her put on all her make up. To me, her eyebrows never looked any different so I didn’t think mine would, either. But she noticed. Had to take me into the bathroom and put cold cream on my brows.

LOL! Nelson needs to play outside with friends! The malarkey he’s learning is making him confused about life.

That kid needs to find other friends….

Former SIL had a friend that had hers removed. In their place she had new ones via tatoos placed in the middle of her forehead. Yes, they looked as ridiculous as it sounds.

Uh,oh! Nice earl,nice…..

Let’s hope Nelson isn’t using a sharpie!

Taking the path less traveled by manly men like Nelson and me…

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

And while you’re at it, make that moustache darker too.

Don’t forget the mustache Nelson, the girls will love it.

Nelson ….. I think that your suppose to go across ….. not up and down …… but what do I know ….. never used one ….. :)

Okay. Get the lipstick and high heels ready.

This reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes comic where “Hobbes” shaved the hair off Clavin’s head and then Calvin tried to use a yellow magic marker to “cover” it up so his mother wouldn’t notice it!

What!? Why did all of my comics change to 3 blank panels and “Coming Soon” ???

Am I the only one thinking of the episode where Rob, trying to be romantic, drew a mustache on? With indelible laundry marker.

OK, this is weird. In the above comment, I was told to edit because it contained “nasty” words. The “nasty” words were apparently dickvandyke.

Ahhh, a budding drag queen starts. . . . .
