I don’t think fralp is in the dictionary Nelson.

It will be now!

What about “cankles”?

Well if Opal has to wear pants to hide her cankles…just wear a hat to hide your fralp Earl.

Thats very Fralpful Nelson!

He doesn’t have a forehead… it’s a five or six-head.

I’d rather have a fralp. I never heard of either one either before reading about it here.

How come “forehead” is spelled with an ‘E,’ but “forward” has no ‘e?’

With the creator of this strip I wonder those two words will go in the dictionary. These are new two me to.

‘Cankle’ has been in the dictionary for a while now. Alas, not ‘fralp.’ And luthberg1: Forehead is from fore, meaning the front part, while forward is from for or forth, meaning toward.

I clearly remember the first time I asked my hubby if he had a comb in his pocket and he laughed. It’s a wonder the comb mfg don’t go out of business!

Earl just parts his hair in the middle …

I’m surprised at you guys. The word “cankle” has been around for years.

I’m with pearlsarefuzzier! How do you all not know about cankles??? I am pretty sure fralp is a Crane original though.

I may be balding, but it’s not a fralp. If you look straight at me, you can’t even tell. But if I look up and you’re behind me…

Number 6: I think Moses parted Earl’s hair.

OMG! ROFLMAO!! That I wasn’t expecting!

I thought that was a scorehead.
