Pickles by Brian Crane for December 14, 2023

I have ice cream in the freezer. Will I save the ice cream until Christmas like a good boy or will I not.

Unless you eat it too quickly and then you’re back to square one.

I suspect that it would exacerbate an ice cream headache. But it’s worth TRYING for pitysake.

If low blood sugar is the cause, it might help.

Earl, you will give yourself a Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia! That will be even worse!

I had an unopened box of Fudge bars in the freezer for at least a year, had one last night….gummy!!

Earl’s my hero!

Now you’ll have a brain freeze!

For once, I agree with Earl.

I haven’t had ice cream in 2 days. I think I’m going through withdrawal.

Earl’s right

I feel better just thinking about it!

Preach, Earl, preach!

Right on.

You can never eat icecream for breakfast UNLESS you place them on top of waffles!!! Then it is the perfect breakfast.

Not if you’re lactose intolerant. Or diabetic. Or both. Sigh… :-(

They say if you can get a “brain freeze” from ice cream, it will get rid of headaches… something about vascular pressure or some other scientific thing…

Got that right.

Is there ever such a thing as a good headache?

I am confused? Why isn’t Opal smacking and dumping the ice cream on Earl. This is a Pickles comic.

Especially peppermint. . .

For a change, I’m with Earl

Well, he’s not wrong!

Brain freeze over a bad headache ? Whatever floats your boat Earl

He’s not wrong.

I thought it was “Ain’t nothin’ that a beer can’t fix”

“It couldn’t hurt!” … Sam Levenson??

He’s not WRONG…… unless you’re lactose INTOLERANT.

Oh-oh, brain freeze, you old fool.

I’ve had the same last bowl of ice cream in the freezer for a year now, even though SF, still too high in carbs for me.

Amen to that!

Well, here goes. I didn’t see where anybody else made this comment. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Eating ice cream very fast GIVES you a really bad headache/brain-freeze …..eating it very slowly should TAKE it away……perfectly logical

Bacon, too.

We keep a frozen pizza in our freezer which we refer to as our “emergency rescue pizza.”

I was thinking that when kids routinely had the tonsil removed, they would be “lured in” by the promise of ice cream and Jell-O after the operation. Now I realize why I have a fear of hospitals. They never let you get any rest with all the ministrations that they do around the clock so you get better quick and get out or you end up resting in heavenly peace.

Ice cream for Christmas! Cheese cake for New Years.

True

Brain freeze for that headache.

In Earl’s case it does….

Unless it doesn’t

Ice cream sprinkled with Oxytocin!

Well … everything but lactose intolerance, high cholesterol, and obesity.

Even if it fails, at least you had ice cream.

Headache is so bad it’s hard to think.

he’s right

Brain freezes will numb his brain….LOL

This sounds like a good idea! I suffer from headaches often . What better cure than ice cream?

He put ibuprofen on top instead of a cherry.

Brain freeze!

Earl is absolutely correct! Ice cream makes everything better ♥

I’m enjoying lots of ice cream, in spite of the calendar indicating that it’s Winter. However I’ve found that it has no benefit for concussions. I’m into the the third month since bonking my head on the concrete patio in the backyard. Darn vicious little ladder! Luckily the headaches aren’t continuous, but come when I’ve been leaning over for any period of time.

Hair of the dog, I guess.

he’s not wrong

I think you’re onto something. Earl!

The only ice cream I can eat, has to be sugar free and lactose free too. The sad part is, it’s far from “free”. Over $5.00 for a pint.
