Pickles by Brian Crane for December 31, 2023

Opal cooks quite a bit of unhealthy food.

Stretchy pants? Earl if you need stretchy pants just to ea cinnamon rolls, you are eating way too many at one time.

There are some reasons to change into sweat pants. Cinnamon rolls are indeed on that list.

This is the kind of understanding that comes with a long, long marriage.

He he

My wife’s jean keep saying, “No more holiday sweets!” But her leggings are like, “Nah, we got you boo.”

Great New Years Eve treats!! Well worth changing into sweat pants for!!

That looks like enough for Earl. But did she make enough for everyone?

Earl expects to get cinnamon buns — and belly, too!

Have to make room for the goodies, right Earl?!

An idea of what to have for breakfast this morning!

When I read the second panel I thought maybe today’s strip was going in a different direction.

With or without pecans? Asking for a friend.

Joey’s thanksgiving pants?

There’s a pizza buffet that has hot cinnamon rolls on it buffet as dessert. They are some of the best hot cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had.

When Earl’s power-nap was interrupted by his built-in sensory alarm clock…

That would be my plan.

Living on the West Coast is ideal for retirement, you can watch the NYC ball drop and still get in bed before 9:30.

Cinnamon rolls, or sticky buns! Those are lucky to make it home from the Amish market!

Better grab a couple before he gets back, Nelson.

Hope everyone has a happy and prosperous new year!

Yummy. I forgot to buy cinnamon rolls.

Atta boy Earl….

M M M M M ! HNY! ❤️

It’s been a long, long time since I had cinnamon rolls. I used to skip the icing when I made them so I could enjoy the cinnamon flavor better. Which, reminds me of when we were kids and we would toast bread, spread it with margarine, and sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon. That was our cinnamon “buns” growing up. Simple pleasures.

Earl is showing us that he’s not so dumb after all!

Got to be sure that the button doesn’t take someone’s eye out after all.

Yummy tummy!

Been there……. done THAT

If he’s my age, he’s already living in stretchy pants. :)

Are cinammon rolls the same as cinammon buns? I remember indulging in the latter when I was still living in the US, usually bought at a Jewish deli/bakery.
