Pickles by Brian Crane for September 24, 2011

Hope Opal didn’t have a carton of eggs inthe grocery bag.

Drying your socks in the microwave again Earl?

Congrats,Earl. You sure know how to rattle her cage.

Oh, yeah, if the sink is broke, call the plumber before he even knows something’s wrong.

How in the blazes did you manage to do that, Earl?

Maybe he was trying to light the firewood in the microwave.

I don’t know why Opal is surprised enough to drop her bag of groceries………..in the first panel, before she even puts the bag down in the kitchen, she’s asking Earl if anything happened while she was gone……..she seems to anticipate something will occur.

Not to intrude, but does anyone know where I can find a discussion on “Crankshaft”? That comic has gotten really weird. I’m wondering whether Rose would really be hallucinating out of guilt – is that psychiatrically feasible for a person who doesn’t have a history of mental illness? (nj.com/comics carries this strip).

Tch Tch!

There should be a documentary warning wives to not let their men loose in the kitchen..

LOL ( Joke)

Opal shouldn’t wrap leftovers in aluminum foil if she’s going to leave Earl alone at lunchtime.

Earl: NEVER a worry in the world. Nothing bothers Earl.

Hmmm…..a cartoon bag of groceries does not spill everywhere. My Earth bags spill everywhere.

Most old people have a diminished sense of smell. If you get next to an old person you’ll notice.
