Pickles by Brian Crane for February 20, 2021

My dad used Old Spice in his younger days. I always liked the smell of it. I’ve smelled worse.

Should Nelson use young spice?

Roscoe might be insulted, Opal!

Opal is like a Bloodhound – she’s on to his scent.

I think Old Spice is the best scent ever made.

And English Leather literally turns my stomach!

Old Spice…as opposed to Ben-Gay or other things he could smell like…

A touch of “Smell Good” is alright . Please do not take a bath in it ;-)

Nelson is now “The man your man could smell like”.

Nelson sure is in a tizzy when Opal talks in riddles…poor kid!

I like the smell of Old Spice. It reminds me of my father.

Wadda ya get with cats?

Hey! I LIKE Old Spice!

WHAT’S YOUR POINT, OPAL?

And with a nose the size of Opal’s, she can smell Old Spice from 40 miles away…

Old Spice to day is not the Old Spice boomers will remember their fathers using. But the genuine original Old Spice is available through eBay from India where they bought a license to produce it. It’s the old guys’ secret weapon for old girls.

A schnoz that size could contain an extraordinary number of olfactory sensors. Earl should point that out to her sometime.

I tried Hai Karate and English Leather in my youth, but returned to Old Spice. Like MeGoNow says, it’s not quite the original like when it was made by Gulton. I think P&G has it now. Plus, now they’re doing like everyone else does and producing it in about a dozen flavors…

Old Spice was Dad’s aftershave. I didn’t care for it. One Christmas my older cousin gave me a Jade East gift box. That had a scent I liked. Plus, I figured she knew what high school girls liked. Not that it helped me.

Boomers, if it weren’t for Old Spice, you might not be here! (stolen from someplace else)!

True story: John Simm (who played Sam Tyler in the show “Life on Mars”) wore Old Spice during the filming. It reminded him of his dad and took him back to the 1970s (when the show takes place.)

The odoriferous nectar of the gods to turn on old hotties.

I blame spray cologne dispensers. Men don’t have the sense to “walk through the mist”. I had to talk to a guy at work, who left a scent that persisted hours after he left. “I only used one spray.” I explained that the cologne people were in the business of selling as much as possible, not dispensing an appropriate amount for direct application.

Roscoe does not have fleas. This is a cartoon. I can make this up.

There are worse smells.

I like Old Spice ! It smells like Grandpa, and Daddy, and all the guys in Jr. High that weren’t using High Karate.

lie down with this grandpa, and you’ll smell like urine….danged incontinence!

This Grandpa, too

Old Spice was all my dad ever used. That was in the 50s and 60s. Then he was gone.

Do many men really use cologne? I never have.

When you talk with Opal, she tries to hurt your feelings.
