What? You think those cookies, coffee, chips and beers all walked from the kitchen to the couch all by themselves ? I have the crumbs-trail to speak of my daily accomplishments.
Earl set himSELF up for Opal’s display of contempt this time. He clearly hasn’t done anything strenuous… the entire time this strip has been in existence.

They could do a plot line where Opal’s shoulder goes out and then she can’t fold fitted sheets.

Could be!!, working out of his comfy chair and actively getting to the fridge for a beer and pizza slice, may induce joint pain!

Unfortunately as we age the bar for defining strenuous activity acts like a Limbo Bar.

Getting up out of a recliner can be strenuous activity

Roscoe seems to be enjoying the Earl / Opal conversation in last panel. You have to laugh even if you’re a dog.

If you hear a bunch of moaning and groaning coming from my bedroom, it’s just me trying to get out of bed

Or Earl, it could be caused by over eating and sitting on your a$$ all the time.

Earl Pickles — keeping Opal and Roscoe entertained for over 20 years. Not so much the cat … Muffin is a tough audience.

to be fair, when you’re that old, just getting up is a strenuous activity… but in Earl’s case, the sports thing?… not so much!
