Pickles by Brian Crane for October 08, 2020

Earl that was a naughty trick you pulled on Opal. I also don’t believe you’ll be getting a sandwich. Not one that you can eat anyway.

Earl, you nitwit

Spouse and I prefer not to be the place that spiders hang out, but we do help them out of the sink if they get stuck there, and if they insist on walking around where they’re likely to get stepped on, we take them outside.

when Winter hits, they’re drawn inside. I’ve found several chilling… but not for long… squish

Careful, Grandpa. You remember what they say about payback?

Now would be a good time for you and Opal to watch the movie Arachnohobia. :-)

I was once stretched out in the middle of the living-room floor watching TV and noticed a tiny spider descending from the ceiling on a freshly-spun filament of webstuff. I got up, pinched off the silk about six inches above the spider, and carried her carefully to a less obtrusive corner to continue making her web.

On the way across the room, I had to reel in about four feet of additional silk because she was still producing it the whole way.

I think the spider is at the end of Crane’s signature.

Such empathy Earl!

If I was here you would get a Knuckle Sandwich!

Earl looks like a pumpkin.

My wife and I have a “spider jar” i.e an old pickle jar, easy to get spiders and other undesirables out of the house and into the great realm of nature!

Cold, Earl, really cold ! I tend to let spiders in the Apt. Be Unless the wife points it out ( loudly) after all there only looking for warmth and water.

Pretty good move, EarlLet’s see how it works and what you get for your ploy.

Earl was it a spider or did you forget to clean your glasses again ;-)

Was there really a spider, Earl or was this a trick to get Opal to get and make you a sandwich?

Not cool, Earl. I admit he has a lot of nerve asking for a sandwich after that one!

The longer I’m married, the more I “get” this comic :)

Speaking of spiders…how about that fly that sat on mike dense’ head?

Little guy must have a tough stomach, to last for 2 whole minutes.

And we all know what attracted it.

“What’s that smell in this room? Didn’t you notice it, Brick? Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity. You can smell it. It smells like death."

“Cat on a hot tin roof” Tennessee Williams.

Never waste and good opportunity to get a sandwich.

She might fix his wagon.

\\//_

Would you care for some mustard on your tarantula sandwich, Earl?

Along came a spider and sat down beside her and frightened Opal away.

OMG….Opals revenge is coming shortly…..wait for it …..

Since you’re making sandwiches, could you make me one too?

Earl shame on you for that mean trick.

Where’s Muffin? It was usually my cat that pointed out spiders.

I would never do that to my wife.

All I can say is … Sneaky!!!

Pence could have used that spider last night.

’Saw a YouTube yesterday of a dog growling and barking at a spider on the wall. I believe a cat would have figured out how to get up there and eat it.

Could you wait until he finishes her heart attack.

Make a jam sandwich-two pieces of bread jammed together & then thrown at his head.

Earl, that only works once.

Sounds like someone is bucking for a “spider sandwich”.

Does Cathy get a royalty for the use of AACK?

The scream sandwich is on the way!

That was the plan the whole time. Except now she’ll wait until he is eating the sandwich and the tell him that she put the spider in it.

Keep it up, Earl. I’m taking lots of notes!!!

Was it Boris?

Earl is a rascal.
