Earl is starting to lose it.

If he’s Leon’s nephew, he is either Earl’s nephew or son – you would think Earl would remember that and you think Pearl would not be going around in circles – maybe she has dementia?

Then Lucinda would be either Earl’s neice or his daughter, right?

They definitely need a hobby!

He is tinkering with what little mind she has.

His brother must be totally forgettable.

Earl don’t feel bad I have 2nd cousins I know nothing of.

♫♪♫ I’m my own grandpa ♫♪♫

cutiepie: That’s the way I read it. Of course, my wife’s relatives are so complicated, that would be a logical reaction. In that confused context, it is not surprising the Earl would not automatically connect that Leon with being his brother Leon.

I have many first cousins that I know nothing of.

Awwwwww.

LOL xxx

I know Al….!!!!Al Zeimer…!!!!

Who’s Pearl, and what happened to Opal? Anyway, Earl doesn’t have a brother Leon – Opal is the one who’s losing it.

Uhhh, anybody going to tell them there/s nobody named Pearl in this comic strip?

why didn’t she just say, “your brother’s niece died.” ?

Alright, who’s Pearl?

Ladyhawk: And not messed with his mind? She would never miss that opportunity, especially if it means interrupting his reading to do so.

so where is this brother Leon of Earl’s that we know nothing about?

Maybe Leon is his own nephew or something like that..lol

This is how MY wife starts a story-references someon by first name that I dont know, then proceeds to talk about peripheral characters, where they worked and who else they are related to—-I’m STILL tryin to figure out who the first person she mentioned is.
