Pickles by Brian Crane for October 03, 2020

Oh Earl you lazy bum. Get off your duff and go buy Opal a new curling iron.

He may be on to something; it just curled Ted Williams’ hair.

when has Earl ever fixed something (aside from a sandwich or any other snack)?

(Snort)-ed out loud. Thanks for a laugh, M. Crane.

Earl, you are lucky not to hear these words, “I’ll fix you good!” :-)

I once discovered that my TV remote control worked better if I kept it in the freezer when not in use.

We place a lot of faith in the future.

Earl must have been reading about Cryogenics!

The only problem with that solution, Earl, is that by that time, Opal will no longer need a curling iron!

Earl … Thank – You …. For the laugh ;-)

Roscoe is this strip would made it a lot better for sure . And never try to fix a curling iron , just buy her a new one . I just did last week . : )

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Works for me.

Cryogenics for appliances. Too bad it wasn’t invented earlier. Someone could maybe repair the old Sears & Robuck electric belts that cured everything.

I’m unsure which is funnier; Earl attempting to repair it, or Opal thinking it could be repaired. It’s called “Planned Obsolescence,” as defined in 1954 by Brooks Stevens, an American industrial designer, as “Instilling in the buyer the desire to own something a little newer, a little better, a little sooner than is necessary.” (Emphasis added.)

There’s clever, there’s funny… and then there’s STUPID. Thank you for the illustration, Earl.

Opal actually MAKES her hair look like that?

Cryogenic is for wackos.

Earls a thinking man…looking ahead.

Should have cut off the cord and just froze the head.

Very funny today, and out of left field too.

Possibly, I saw it happen on a tv show the other day.

In a convoluted sort of way, most of Earl’s ideas do make some sense.

He froze it to curl Walt Disney’s hair.

Can we put our whole country in the freezer?

What a STOOGE.

Almost makes sense.

" I met a little girl who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead…"

Earl, you’re a genius. Did you tell Walt Disney about your idea?
