Pickles by Brian Crane for August 13, 2019

Opal must’ve been trying to get Earl to follow the brochure’s advice for a long time.

This is some very different scenario/imagery. Nice change of pace! Physical humor on Pickles!

If Roscoe were a St Bernard or a Great Dane, this wouldn’t have happened.

That is what is known as a “slow fix”.

Man’s best diet coach.

Lassie he’s not!

One last panel showing Earl from the other side of the door would of been great !

Would say that the brochure hasn’t reflected the name change of Weight Watchers (https://fortune.com/2018/09/24/weight-watchers-name-change/), but Earl saying “WW” wouldn’t have triggered anything in some people’s mind…

Roscoe has been so under estimated all this time….

BURN!

Roscoe is looking for a treat now, so don’t disappoint him, Earl.

All I can think of is that scene in Winnie-the-Pooh, where the Bear of Very Little brain . . . you know the one I’m talkin’ about. Anyway, Earl, even if you do get through—or are smart enough to turn over, reach up and turn the door knob— you’ll never be able t get up.

I knew, from yesterday’s strip, that Earl was gonna try that! ;o}

Yes it seemed the thing he would do , but I can’t believe he really did it. Call all the neighbors! this will be laughed about for many a year!

Smart dog.

Just like Winnie the Pooh. Just don’t eat and wait until you’re small enough to get through.

Love that dog! LOL

Smart puppyl P.S.- I knew this would follow from yesterday, lol!

Good dog.

If Earl stays stuck in that door, he’ll lose weight or die trying.

What was Weight Watchers’ motto?

I’m thinking that the hardest part of getting through the doggie door is getting your shoulders through. After that, Earl ought to be able to pull or push his way through all the way. Kind of like a baby being born. Once the shoulders are through, the rest slips out easily!

We once had a cat door w/ a magnetic catch that was supposed to prevent critter entry. The coons figured it out within a month… but I never did figure out how they did it.

OK Kyle, friends did the string trick to my wife (RIP) and I where our own hands are tied together but looped through. Being a man of the world, I had to strongly raise my voice to the three of them to stifle at attention because I knew the trick. At this juncture (76 complete orbits), I wouldn’t give your beaucoup repliers the time of day.

Earl got waisted!

Judgmental dog but sure is a cute pooch.

but, that doesn’t get me out of the door!
