Pickles by Brian Crane for June 20, 2013

He’s got more stuff in his pockets than Opalhas in her purse I bet.

The list in the two final panels is considered “normal” stuff? (Good sarcasm on the anvil, Opal.)

Opal’s Purse: Tide-on-the-go, band-aids, first aid crème, safety pins (various sizes), scissors, repair kit for glasses, cough drops (cherry flavored), lipstick, compact, eyebrow pencil, comb, brush, magnifying glass, tweezers, large pad or paper, two boxes of crayons (four each), one Depends, one baby’s disposable diaper, small baby powder, house keys, car keys, key to motor scooter (senior-type), three pencils, two pens, a check book, ATM card, change purse, one credit card, one debit card, a wallet with mad money and driver’s license, medicare card, bc/bs card, plus a small photo album of grandkids, list of meds, list of doctors, and three lollipops.

time to get the LEAD out, as well!

I just cleaned out my purse and it now only has 1 wallet, my sun glasses, my keys and my phone.

OMG. That is me. That is I. That is the writer of this comment..And Earl, one small piece of advice. Next time, NOT ON HER CLEAN COUNTERTOP!

Linda1259, you forgot tape and sticky notes (all 4 sizes)

The anvil’s on the next flight up, sitting on a trap door situated RIGHT ABOVE EARL’S HEAD…!

Earl is that a horseshoe in your pocket or are you just happy to see Opal.

That’s why I wear bib overalls, more pockets for equal distribution of treasures.

Someone should tell Earl that they sell miniature horseshoes for good luck, or he could carry a rabbit’s foot.

Every time I empty my purse, with the idea of putting back only the things I can’t do without, I wind up putting it all back in!

And probably, some cookie crumbs.

Never leave home without your duct tape

I feel like Earl. I usually have 2 sets of keys (one for home, one for work) cell phone, pocket knife, change, etc. And yes, I do wonder why my pants feel so heavy lol

He left the anvil in his other pants.

Earl got a ringer when he got Opal…

having been hit by a purse, I am convinced some women carry bricks around

not a bad idea, come to think of it

I’ve mislaid my anvil, but I do carry a tape measure, multi-tool, manicure tools, and a bunch of other stuff … in a hip pack. My theory was that a hip pack couldn’t be overloaded too much. Wrong.

Back to the drawing board …

In my pockets?..I’m like Charlie Brown on Halloween“I got a rock.”
