Pickles by Brian Crane for May 29, 2024

Very cute!

He might have been wise to leave out that last line, just in case Opal reads it.

Very good, but will the dog appreciate the mayonnaise? And fries with mayonnaise… that’s the ultimate “for the moment” feeling.

Sure, it tastes great, but as soon as you finish it, the regret is instant. And I’m not talking about guilt. I did it once, and felt sick right after.

Roses are red violets are blue. Most poems rhyme but this one doesn’t.☺

WHITE mayonnaise ?! Don’t tell me Opal ever let some canned ersatz enter her home?

Great, now I’m hungry. :D :D :D

Yep! He gets an A from me!

no “nasal sprays” and “pants ablaze”… but still good

or on bologna with cheese.

Sugar will do more harm to you than mayonnaise. But then again, not many words rhyme with sugar.

Opal might not like the thigh part!

Very good Nelson, free verse!

Very goood!

Just don’t read it to Grandma.

“Ode to a Sandwich Spread”

Give me some Hellman’s and I am in Mayo heaven.

That’s an adorable poem.

wait – I’m not through…

Opal won’t like that last line.

Wonder how long it took him to come up with that. . .hope everybody realizes how hard comix creators work at thinking up stuff to make us laugh. . .THANKS, BRIAN!!!

One thing I won’t use with mayonnaise is fries. I’ve been grossed out about that ever I’ve seen them talk about it in Pulp Fiction.

Fantastic!

Now, this is why Pickles is my favorite comic!

Mayonnaise on frites? Grandpa must have Belgian heritage.

I like mayo on my fries too. :-) An English man introduced to that flavor several years ago.

As long as GRAMMA is in there SOMEWHERE……. A+

Needed something to rhyme with “goo.” Nelson’s not doing so threw the meter off. Cute, nevertheless

No apostrophe needed!

Very good, Nelson!

This is the only comic that makes me laugh out-loud!

As a young poet he’s no Calvin, but it’s cute!

Ketchup only on the fries. You mustard, mayo, vinegar crowd have ruined your tastebuds with coffee.

I prefer my piece “No mayonnaise in Ireland”

If you eat too much of that stuff, you’ll end up in the Mayo Clinic.

Excellent!

After the first line, I read it in the cadence of Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.

Mayonnaise on fries? Is the Pickles family… gasp …. Canadian???

Why would Earl hold his newspaper up like that when he’s hearing his Grandson’s poem — and on the subject HE suggested? So mean. :(

Attaboy Nelson! A+

Who’s up for a grilled cheese sandwich with a bowl of tomato soup?

wow…that’s actually well done!…(never in my wildest dreams did I ever think in my lifetime I’d read a poem about mayonnaise! Lol!)

A++

It is obvious that genius runs in the family.

Hey kid, this is a family comic. Besides; cheboige, cheboige, cheboige, no mayo, no cheeps.

Thank you Nelson. I LOVE mayo. Particularly Hellmann’s.

most excellent

I thought I didn’t like mayonnaise when I was Nelson’s age because my mom always bought Miracle Whip. It wasn’t until I was much older that I found out real mayonnaise is pretty good.

Good job! I like it on fries too!

So, everyone can enjoy mayo except women?

LOVED IT!!! :-))))

Polish Mother’s Mayonaise rocks!!

Did Heinz get into the mayo business yet? They have their traditional ketchup of course, they’ve made mustard, and even relish. But what about mayo?

Excellent…belly laugh for the day..

Most kids hate mayonnaise, don’t eat BLTs. Tuna IS a fish… no need to be redundant.

A+ indeed!
