Pickles by Brian Crane for July 21, 2020

Be very careful with what you say next Earl. Very careful.

“Contents may settle during transit. Belts and pants sold by weight not volume.”

Mr. Crane isn’t thinking of retiring already, is he?

Well, we all come to an “end” sooner or later.

The faster we go, the behinder we get!

I don’t know about that, I seem to be all gut/no butt anymore!

The older you get, the faster the time goes by!

Never too old to enjoy the swings.

Glad to see that Opal’s arm has healed up from last week…

Well played with the last panel ;-)

Off topic a bit: I hate those kinds of swings, but they seem to be the only type you find now at playgrounds. I remember having the bench-like swings as a kid. The ones you could stand up on. And I always thought they were more comfy to sit on, also. Wonder why they went the way of the dinosaur? I guess maybe for just that reason that kids can’t swing standing up anymore (too dangerous? I never thought so).

Old people can still use playground swings? And aren’t most playgrounds closed/not to be used during this COVID-19 pandemic?

Once again no puppy . Sad day I love the puppy . ( Roscoe )

Butt……. Butt…….. wait a minute.

I’m finding that the older I get the less I have behind me….. so much so that I’m thinking about wearing supenders.

Point of view, Earl, just a point of view.

But…but…but…what does he mean???

Great strip this morning. Thanks, Brian!

No butts about it.Our side have wide English posteriors ;(

Well, that doesn’t work for my husband and most of the men I know. regardless if they are overweight even…. they have no BUTT. It’s like all the butt sinks forward and becomes gut. Just try and get a pair of pants to fit on someone with no butt! :)

Once you’re over the hill you gain speed…never mind the behind….it’s all a blurrrrr

I remember when we could both set in the same swing.

I want to die being young at a ripe old age.

Jeez, it not like comics are supposed to be fun and stuff, right? Not all existential or conjectural or whatever.

“Pickles” is where I read this…The young talk about the future because they have no past. The old talk about the past because they have no future.
