Pickles by Brian Crane for November 22, 2023

Earl you just might be right.

Future tattoo technician. He’ll be in big demand from what I see out there. I’ve never understood the appeal of body mutilation.

Maybe I’ll have to agree with you.

I actually remember doing that as a kid. Boy did I get in trouble! My mother was worried people might think she did it to me.

At least he just put it on his forehead. Not nearly as potentially dangerous as what some guys do with it Fortunately Nelson’s a little young for that.

“I will tell everyone I won a fight with a giant octopus!!”

Pretend you are Dr. Who’s boy sidekick, and were attacked by Daleks.

Should have explained his future, and exactly what a hickey is.

Then he can tell us how he met Nancy Crater.

Isn’t that the same way those stupid social media “trends” start?

This reminded me of the time I showed kids at a picnic with balloons what inhaling helium will do to your voice.

Possibility Earl.

Take fear away and a whole host of options open up!

He’s a KID…….. Kids do STUPID things…… Leave him be

It gave you a hickey

Then you can brag about fighting off a giant squid when you get to school.

Say what Earl………..

All.. does not include certain parts, genitalia and eyeballs are to be avoided. One of life’s important lessons.

Goes to show you that Earl should have stuck to his initial comment.

The vacuum probably sucked out Earl’s brains decades ago.

The only time I sort of appreciated tattoos was in French Polynesia and had a chance to see a troop of singers and dancers from the Marquesas Islands. They all bore extensive tattoos which were a proud history of their individual life histories, and unique to each one of them. It’s their tradition handed down over generations. I can’t tell anyone not to do that, but I’m glad that I don’t have such a tradition.

Won’t be long before he’s heading to the ER with an embarrassing story he won’t want to be reminded of as he gets older

I have read Marx, and I didn’t need a vacuum cleaner.

Ha! This could get ugly!

Best if 15% developed. Just like veal.

So many Freaks, so few Circuses.

He’s YOUR grandson, Earl. What did you expect?

Maybe Earl has lost a few marbles because he shouldn’t be allowing Nelson to markup his body which could lead to worse things.

One way or another it will.
