Pickles by Brian Crane for May 15, 2024

Did he use a plunger to force the clothes to fit in the machine?

On my detergent, it’s not even a full cap.

Did he wash out all the color from the comic?

So he wore a cap to do the laundry? That’s a stretch.

How much BLEACH did he use?

I guess we have to wait for the inking and coloring.

I think the ink ran . . . away

Oh jeez

Did he really just put the cap back on his head?

Idiot just stands there with his hand in his pocket while all their belongings steep

The cap on his head?

“Whatever you did, Earl, you washed the color right out of today’s strip!”

Earl has a mop? Good Boy!

Oh no, it was bleach!

He is an idiot.

Run out of ink?

She says, as liquid drips down his face, lol!

Not THAT kind of cap, you old prune!

Maybe he confused cap with cup(8 oz) but in either case the washer should have shut off when the water filled the tub leaving the only overflow soap suds,

Colorist off today?

Yeah, so he’s wearing a “cap” for the first time ever.

A black and white weekday comic, like the good lord intended.

Earl, read the directions. I bet the cap has little lines for the size of the load. A full cap is wasting the detergent.

I was sad when they started coloring the dailies. I used to love the special treat of the Sunday Funny Papers

I think he’s working alone today

I never realized Earl was this stupid. The comic is trending in a bad direction.

That looks like water. If it were suds, I’d assume Earl used detergent for old top-loaders into a front-loading washer.

Earl …… You “ONLY” use a bottle cap full …… “RIGHT” …… ;)

Well, the good news is that Earl got all those stubborn stains in the comic. ;-p

I don’t think that mop is going to do the job.

Why’s it just the outlines?

Now hold on a darn tootin’ moment! Have Earl and Opal died? They look like ghosts!

I miss the color commentary.

I love how it’s all about the bleach, and nothing about the new high water mark in the kitchen. I don’t think that little mop will be able to handle it!

Reminder: Clean out the basement floor drain. His test is successful, that water seeks it’s own level.

The cap on his head?

I thought the “capful” of bleach he took to mean his ball cap full. Thus the whole cartoon is bleached out. But in the News & Observer today, the same cartoon is there in full color. ????

He is cycling the Petula Clark song “Color my world with Happiness”!

Last night, i felt like some popcorn from my Cuisinart oil enclosed popper. I haven’t used it for a while but it’s good. Bought second hand for $5, a steal. Last time, i googled the instructions. Going by memory, and I put a cup of kernals. As it was heating, it looked different as they were being wiped around the heating pad. Googled the instructions, and it was 1/2cup not one. Fortunately, stopped it before they started popping off, removing about half.

…..and a capful of BLEACH (apparently)

Is the washer through? I don’t think the dryer is going to work.
