Pickles by Brian Crane for September 06, 2024

Does he look like Santa Claus does when Santa gets home on December 26?

I long ago learned to ignore what I might imagine people were THINKING. What matters is actions… not even words.

I don’t understand facebook, and I don’t want to!

Maybe he is too old to care much how people look at him!

What others think about me is none of my business.

When others think of me, all they want is a favor or money…………

Earl Nonchalant Pickles

Let me get it right: You care that people think you don’t care what they think?

“There was a man who had a dog/ And ‘Bingo’ was his hame/ *ingo …”

Good for you.

Opal finally gets it

Earl replies, And I got a million likes already. Opal says, you got a crusty showing.

Ohmygod, it’s the hubs! Lol!

I’m from a generation where anything wrong with the husband is blamed on the wife.

To be truly cool, you must not care what others think of you. Therefor, old folks are the only truly cool people.

I care so little I’m not even on social media and I have a flip phone.

Opal you should listen to Earl this time ’cause he is right.What others think of me is none of my business.

That’s how he puts up with you, my dear!

I have an account on Facebook for the sole purpose of getting in touch with distant relatives, otherwise I don’t use it. I guess for some people, it’s addictive like Candy Crush is for smart phone users.

My man!

No one should care what others think…..it’s your life…

exactly. :D

When people think of me they ‘hear’ Banjos & Bagpipes.

Goes along with respecting and deferring to one’s elders. I find them in very short supply. Getting more so as time goes on. As does the reduction in my caring what anyone thinks about me and the way I look. If they don’t like the way I look, look somewhere else.

Atta’ boy Earl.

Let’s put this in perspective. If James Dean said he doesn’t care what people think of him, Mabel would swoon over what a rebel he is.

Good for Earl!

Attaboy, Earl!

NAILED IT.!!!!!!

Sometimes I think cartoonist are the most artistic realm around. They have to draw the little things, such as where to put a hand or a facial expression before the major part of the cartoon. I am looking at her hand covering her mouth and realize that has to be drawn before the facial concern expression she is showing with her glasses. He has to see the entire comic in his mind before ever laying his pen to the paper.

Nailed it in one!!

What can he say? He likes himself.

Earl is channeling his inner Richard Feynman. Good for him.

Now back off, old woman…

Hard to figure out why Earl has a Facebook account.

Careful, Opal… that’s how he’s able to stay married to you.

Thankfully Most people are only concerned about how they look, not how you look.

I could take another stab at Facebook, but I shall restrain myself this time.

The caption on my photo says, “Now you listen to me.” Sincerely, Wilford

I’m often befuddled by the stuff people DO put on social media wanting expecting people to think well of them. But they just look silly to strangers all over the world.

That’s my husband.

“Go ahead with your own life. Leave me alone.”

LOVE IT!

She finally figured it out after all these years…

Now if we could all think like him!

I wonder how many times this has been posted

A couple weeks ago in Walmart, i was texting someone on Messenger, lull in the conversation, noticed a lampshade not far away so I added a photo to her…

Next up: a picture of Opal. (No, not that one, presumably.)

The opposite of how ‘social media’ works.
