I’m Earl, but let’s not hug or even talk to each other, we’ll wave when we see each other

I’m Earl too.

In the last panel, I think the logic hurt Roscoe’s brain

How tragic is it that we have someone with all of those faults (and much, much more!) running for the highest office in America. He also tries to convince us that he is a “likable guy.”

Earl’s complaints about people are why I never go to church.

Is Opal talking to Mrs. Walton? (Olivia)!

Can’t imagine why Earl!

Hey—you two disturbed Roscoe!

I sometimes think, “Don’t tell me YOUR problems, I have enough of MY OWN.” Meaningless cliche vocalizations are usually enough interaction.

I’m more like Earl, but still polite!

Roscoes right eye is just priceless in the last panel : )

If Earl could just find people like himself, he would like them, and they would like him.

I’m more like Roscoe…

That’s me and my wife.

And how did they get married if he didn’t like her hugs or spending time with her?

Most guys are not huggy people . unless she has big breasts. lol

Earl is a people person!

I love humanity… it’s people I can’t stand. (oldie but goodie)

Glad I am the minority with this group. I don’t enjoy being in a crowed or on a plane mashed up against people but I do enjoy being with friends and family and meeting new folks now and then.

I feel the same way, except for a select few people.

Here, Earl, is a quote from The Nation, June Issue, p. 90, that summarizes our situation well: . . .’the hysterical mundanity of American culture today."

and another from Agatha Christie, Cards on the Table, 193?: “Life is a difficult business. You’ll know that when you come to my age (speaker is 68). It needs infinite courage and a lot of endurance. And in the end, one wonders was it worthwhile.”

Sounds like she is a Libra (Or Aquarius) and he is a Scorpio.

Ditto,earl…most days I only WANT to talk to my dogs…..

In real life…….. I think he would have more friends than HER……. and WHAT’S UP WITH THAT DOG..???? ( LOL )

As n introvert, I can relate….big time

Winky Roscoe!

Well we’re in the same club.

I like you Earl!

I have a small tight circle of friends and I like it that way and I love my solitude, oh and the wife too ;)

In other words, Earl is a normal man.

The reason Earl has so many kindred spirits here is that real extroverts don’t spend time reading and commenting on comics. Sux to be them…

“People”? YUCK!

I get that Archie!

Earl shud be more like doggies and sniff butts to show he is fren.

It simply must be one of life’s little, unknowable, unsolvable mysteries.
