Pickles by Brian Crane for January 29, 2017

I guess Opal is going to purchase a new set of tweezers (and leave some note for Earl to ask to not take them).

Use a pair of needle-nosed pliers, Earl! Yeesh.

Why am I not grossed out about Earl using her tweezers to dig a tick out of Roscoe’s hind end? I guess I see it more as just digging a tick out of Roscoe’s BACK end – like his hip or his back near his tail. I mean, Earl would not have seen a tick that was in Roscoe’s hind end (trying to phrase this delicately here). So I don’t see digging a tick out of the dog’s hind end as being any different than digging a tick out of his head. Besides, if the mere thought of him using her tweezers to dig a tick out of the dog grosses her out, it’s easy enough to just rinse the tweezers off with hot water.

She’s always ticked off at something or other.

Always on the “naughty step”.

You’ve done it again, Earl.

Roscoe seems very grateful. Man’s best friend as always.

If he had just put the tweezers back where he got them, she would never have known.

What else would you use to remove a tick? Rinse them off and get over it, Opal!

Earl should get his own freakin’ tweezers!

Any delicate procedure requires an equally delicate instrument!

Opal is “ticked” off, no “if’s”, “and’s”, or “butts” about it!

All this tick talk is gonna get Earl clocked.
