Pickles by Brian Crane for October 31, 2024

That’s tantamount to a hate crime, Opal

Who’s house get’s egged tonight?

Many years ago, my teenage brothers where in charge of giving the candies. One kid showed dressed like a rabbit. He got a carrot. My brothers were rolling on the floor.

I think this is a first. It sure is a unique way to get rid of, I mean share, zucchini

That’s one way to keep the trick or treaters away.

Opal forgot it’s Halloween? How old is she?

TRICK

I like them, but they are NOT a treat…

That was definitely a Trick!

Now that truly is a Halloween scare.

Now there’s a house destined to get TP’d late that night…

Trick or treat zucchini style. Great way to have No more trick or treaters at your house!

This is the house you’ve been saving the TP and eggs for, kid.

The least she could of done was make zucchini cookies.

Child abuse.

I would appreciate a zucchini but I’m not a child.

I literally laughed out loud.

That house is gonna get egged and/or TP’d.

Opal and her Zucchini, lol!

There was another strip (I don’t remember which one) a few weeks ago that mentioned zucchinis. I suggested this as a way of getting rid of them, and added that, if you did this two or three years in a row, trick-or-treaters would never bother you again.

Clueless as ever, Opal.

I can vision a house totally covered with toilet paper!

Quite the “trick” there, Opal… bravo!!

Take one, get three free.

Here kids, have some nice Polident

Killjoy.

Every neighborhood has one of those houses…

I knew it before the last panel. I don’t get anyone much so I turn off the lights. If anyone does brave my road to the house, I give them change.

Ooh! Somebody’s house is gonna get egged and TP’d!

The kid went in and turned their lights off

one way to get your house tp’ed

What would a little girl do with a zucchini….

Why is there zucchini anyway?

Now that’s a scary Halloween.

You have a grandson who hangs out constantly and you don’t know it’s Halloween? Not likely.

This kid is making a “note to self” not to visit this house next Halloween.

In return, the Pickles might get rotten tomatoes thrown at their house.

I thought Earl was going to do all the ironing for a year.

There’s no way she forgot. Not with Nelson around daily.

OMG……. Seriously..????

My neighbors start their Helloween decorations the first week of August. Most of us neighbors HATE it.

Ever see a Zucchini stuck up your cars exhaust pipe?

Brutal. You have nothing to give? I keep DQ coupons for free Dilly Bars on hand because I am diabetic, on Keto.

Hotdog! :g

Sure does a lot of ironing even with the iron not plugged in or even have a cord.

What a great idea, candy too expensive, but lots of turnips in the garden.

I’d rather have a rock. – Charlie Brown

Those cucumbers should have shriveled up and gotten moldy by now…

“They don’t look fresh anymore, grandma.”

I nuked a few apples and ate them. Quite good.

Either send Earl out to get some candy or turn off your porch light.

Read this on a call and nearly lost it!

I got a rock. I guess I’ll just roll with it.

that’s just cruel

I saw brussel sprouts on sale. Dipped in chocolate , that would just be evil.

Poor Opal. Your character would never forget the Halloween treats. You got sold out for a zucchini gag.☺️

Forgot to buy candy Opal? Turn off the porch lights. I think I’ll see what’s left of the Halloween candy at the market, no kids knock on doors here, they will be all for me LOL

Hmmmm, candied zucchini…….

People who plant zucchinis will do ANYTHING to get rid of them!

Her Zucchini loving mom told her to go that house.

Happy Halloween, all!

You’re not supposed to trick the kids.

I see a tp’d house in her future.

Now that’s scary.

Yuk

Zero. Zero is as many as I want. Thanks
