Pickles by Brian Crane for December 15, 2023

This strip looks retro!

Never saw Earl with a “rug” before!

Can you see some two-year-old walking by when that happens?

It’s just Earl’s toupee waving hello.

Looks like he’s wearing a yarmulke in the first panel.

Hatman, he ain’t.

It looks like a piece of foliage growing out of his head in the last panel

They ran out of colored ink again.

Air-conditioned toupee?

Earl flipped his lid finally.

I think he is just venting.

He wears a toupee and cowboy boots – but only when there’s a desperate need for a punchline.

Looks like SOMEONE missed the deadline

He’s doing The Wave!

Retro, Re-Run, or a sickly colorist. I don’t care. I am just delighted to see comics in their true and superior form. Color was always a Sunday diversion.

Must have a lot of bobby pins anchoring that toupee down!

It must be snowy, we’re in black and white!

“Hello!”

A little orange coloring and Earl could be president!

I had a cousin with a significant comb-over. It would lift up in the wind…

Ear’s has a flapping toupee!

I don’t wear them, but I have heard the rumors that hats also work.

Gives a new meaning to “hair standing on end”.

…now if that rug was made out of mistletoe…

Was the colorist given the day off?

So, are toupees glued on? Enquiring minds want to know…

And we hoped it was Muffin. (Easy mistake in black and white.)

Happens when a pretty girl walks by too.

This is what hats are for.

and the occasional “wave”? lol

Earl’s hair is like a convertible’s top…sometimes it’s up, sometimes it’s down.

so for Earl a breeze is a hair raising experience

He really blew his top
