Pickles by Brian Crane for September 18, 2024

Better go check a dictionary genius.

Ask him how many N’s are in Gennius. That is something I have trouble with.

comes by it naturally

⠄⠄⠄it’s in his Jeans

He’s in his own super-species category. A true Genus.

You know, Nelson, there is always the chance you’ve been adopted.

Yup, a regular Einstein!

Earl might be similar to ‘Papa Schimmelhorn’, a fictional character in science fantasy writer Reginald Bretnor’s short stories: An elderly idiot/genius who subconsciously absorbed his knowledge by working as a janitor alongside Albert Einstein in his physics lab. His resulting abilities enable him to invent fantastic mechanisms.

So, Earl is a subconscious genius, and his full genius is like biscuits in an oven that are “squatting to rise.” He might in future be a Marvel or DC Comics superhero! (—

Out and about in the real world, every person I’ve run into claiming to be a genius has been far from it, though every one of them has been a know-it-all!

Plus when they say “I’m a genius!” and I reply “oh yeah? Spell it..” most of them haven’t been able to lol (though none of them have used a “J”!)

Cute.

Last yeer I kudn’t spel jeanius, Now I are won.

A genius like Wile E. Coyote.

well, I’m the 2nd smartest person in our house. If you don’t believe me, ask my wife

Check where he shops … green jeans usually found in another media

I think Earl was a little sarcastic. He knows how to spell genius.

Pickles is one of my favorite comics.

But is he a very stable genius?

Well that about proves it….LMAO

I’ve watched every episode of “I Dream of Jeannie” multiple times. Does that mean I’m a Jeanie-us?

Spell check failed again!

I think he’s just bein’ funny……

Really, Earl?

When you’re a kid as old as Nelson, you might think your parent(s) know everything. Then the big reality sets in at the age of 10 and up when it sinks in that they don’t really know it all. It’s a downer!

Grandpas (men in general) all think they are born comedians.

Gramps has a good sense of humor too.

I saw a political cartoon. Trump: “My middle initial is ‘J’-stands for genius.” This joke has been around a long time, probably about as long as trump learned to spell.

Attaboy Nelson…….

and staybull at that!

Jenuses don’t need no stinkin’ dikshunairyes.

capital, with a J! signed, older than gramps comic fan.

Me two.

Kid: What sound does a cow make?

Earl: Woof!

Kid: I’m outta here.

“I am so smart. SMRT!”

Maybe Earl is so old he remembers when J and G were interchangeable. People who committed crimes got sent to gaol.

He must have learned spelling from Dan Kwayle.

But is he a stable genius?
