Pickles by Brian Crane for November 21, 2009

Those slippers Opal’s wearing look kind of dumpy too.

It’s no sweat off her hiney, why can’t he wear what he wants to at this stage in his life? No wonder the word bleeep was invented.

She needs to get her hiney back in the kitchen and quit bleeeping. (HA–gotcha before you censored me!) For those of you out there, this site didn’t let me use the female dog word.

Armchair Olympics?

If Opal would shut her yap long enough, Earl might get into some free-style napping.

I just noticed how nap rhymes with Capp. I think I’ll lie down on the sofa and contemplate this.

So he looks like a frump, so do you Opal. That dress you’re wearing doesn’t look any better than his sweatpants.

Opal needs to get herself some sweats. Then her, and Earl can do armchair freestyle olympics together.

baggybut, Would that be Synchronized Armchair Olympics?

Opal need to get herself some leotards. My grand-grand still wears leotards when she exercises on certain mornings. That probobly why me and my mom look so healthy these days. It’s genetic!

I like sweats too–but of them could use some excercise. I hate to preach, but I just got back from a 10k walk.

Hey Earl, if she doesn’t like your sweatpants, you could always just take ‘em off.

He kinda looks like a rain barrel – isn’t that a tank?

I’m glad to have that cleared up about the Oprah show comment from the previous strip ‘cause I missed the connection, too!
