Or you’re using the wrong “focal”.

Is that why Opal paints, but Earl doesn’t? She has better bifocals.

Just use a plain sheet without lines and start making your own artwork.

Sometimes coloring outside the lines is really creative and artistic, and sometimes saying it’s creative and artistic is just really good excuse for not coloring inside the lines.

Been there Earl!

I don’t want to catch you parking at the shopping center. There’s already more than enough people there who can’t stay inside the lines.

Grandpa without borders.

That’s why Opal has to constantly keep Earl “in line.”

I remember going rock climbing once and I had to wear my bifocals. Amazing how hard it is to find the rocks. Never did that again.

EXACTLY..!!!!!

What gets me are the disabled parkers. I thought the signs and license plates(mine), were for those with physical disabilities not mental ones. They are the worst ever at parking! Have extra big spaces and still can’t keep in the assigned space. (Head Shaking) :-|

Have your eyes checked for cataracts, Earl!

Is Grandpa saying that the great artists had vision problems??

Coloring outside the lines like a 4 year old.

Indeed Earl….indeed!

Your prescription isn’t good for life.

A good artist learns how to color within the lines first. This is learning the craft. Then you can explore with confidence and not just muck about. :)

Have reading or walking glasses!

Same thing when he played hop-scotch with the girls while full of scotch.

Do people ever say things are IN whack?

What is ‘whack’?

If his bifocals are out of whack, then there must be times that they’re IN whack.
