Pickles by Brian Crane for May 20, 2024

Opal should take pictures while the bed is still perfect. Maybe take before and after nap pictures.

I’ve never understood women’s love for tons of pillows.

Reminds me of the Bundys when Peggy redecorated Al’s “MAN” bathroom in pink!

When i was in my 20’s, I stopped in to visit my grandmother’s sister in the city. Invited to stay over, and the bed was very nice and made up so well. I didn’t think i could recreate it as it was if I got in and disheveled it. So, I laid on top, cold and uncomfortable, on my stomach tucking my arms in to conserve heat.

Use the floor like most dogs.

But she’ll let Muffin get on there.

Hit the recliner earl

Don’t complain, Earl. That could have been CHOPPED pillows… Looks like there is still hope for Opal and she has not yet truly fallen to the dark side of linens.

When girls grow up, they stop piling stuffed animals on the bed and put pillows and decorative comforters and stuff instead.

It’s already covered with cat hair!

To lie down in a bed. Whatever

Earl, the living room couch is the place for husbands’ naps, per cartoon protocol.

Reminds me of the living room furniture you were not allowed to sit in because it was for “company” !

“And don’t use the good towels in the bathroom either”.

Pfffft! Where are the plastic slipcovers?!?

Neither have I… and I’m a woman. lol

I never understood bedrooms for “show”…not like anyone is going to see it but you two! Earl, flop down, enjoy it!

Opal’s work of art.

Two words " Day Bed " !

That would be forbidden in our house, and she knows it.

When we married my wife had 5-6 pillows on the bed and would buy another occasionally. She was on a quest for a pillow that didn’t make her back hurt. Fast forward a decade, new job she loved. only two pillows, no backache.

Blocking a window like that with a bed should be a crime.

LOL..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – EXACTLY..!!!!!!

And the purple clashes so well with the green walls.

For some reason men don’t understand that you do not lay on the bedspread.

Ain’t nobody gonna tell me I can’t take a nap in my own bed!

Poor Earl…..it ain’t gonna happen……….

Have a nap in your recliner, Earl.

Yup, truly king of his castle! Snerk

OK, the davenport it is.

Opal and my wife must be related.

Uh, he already thought about it – weren’t you listening?

I love Dave Barry’s take on faux pillows.

I’ve never been able to just nap on my bed, thank god for the recliner.

Apparently A dream bed isn’t for dreaming.

Now he has to undress the bed!!!

Heck, I don’t know why we even need to “make” the bed, and last I checked, I am a woman.

Grampa should know by now that flopping down for a nap is what the sofa in the living room is for.
