Pickles by Brian Crane for January 10, 2025

That’s rich from a infamously rude womansplainer

I wish she’d just shut up!

Tell Opal to go shave her mustache.

Eyebrows don’t need to be trimmed unless they droop down over your eyes like a sheepdog.

Opal’s being low brow.

Hair growing on your ears causes tinnitus. You are actually hearing the hair as it grows!

It could be worse. She could have offered to trim them.

It’s just the price of life. Though I hate my ear hair. It’s weird that it starts growing in your later years. (At least I’m lucky to have later years)

Is Earl an incipient Mentat (‘Dune’ character)? Are his lips stained red with Sapho juice? Is Opal an incipient Bene Gesserit? Where does Roscoe fit in here?

Opal won’t appreciate Earl or stop nagging and criticizing him until he’s gone

Get up on the wrong side of the bed today, Opal?!

This is what happens with two old people who’ve spent their lives with noses the size of casaba melons. So much un-healed trauma.

Every now a then my wife comes up to me and smooths out my eyebrows.

ah, the story of my wife

Earl was polite and didn’t mention HER mustache.

What about the one up your a#&?

My barber trims my brows. Maybe Earl doesn’t go to one

In response he should offer her his razor so she can trim her mustache.

Nice subtle jabs…… SHE IS GOOD

Sometimes Opal should just keep her trap shut.

There’s the mean nasty Opal we all know.

Truth hurts.

Oy! Maybe Earl should remind Opal of the whiskers sticking out on her chin…☺️☺️☺️☺️

If you tip her enough, your barber babe will get rid of the ear hair.

I’m just going to give up and start braiding my ear hair instead of trimming it.

Maybe Earl should respond that she should get the pair of horns growing out of her head clipped.

How about that big “mustache” on the back of his head and curving around the sides of his head and over his ears?

Awwww…She wants him to look nice.

Hey! I resemble that!

Way to go, Opal!

Earl is just too good not to mention some of Opal’s “qualities” that need doing. Like her eyebrows (that she doesn’t have anymore) or the wrinkles that come with age. Why can’t she just lay off his looks and take him as he is. But, this is Brian Crane in his cartoon and, I guess, his words are Opals.
