Pickles by Brian Crane for August 09, 2024

how many

Time has reversed. It is no longer time since birth that matters but time until death.

According to the panels, time is flying

No kidding….its August already and tomorrow is Friday. It was June and Monday 2 weeks ago.

Michael Truman tried that, Opal. It did not turn out the way he expected.

Don’t stop them. When they stop, so do you.

If this is true, they should all age. Nelson should be in high school.

It really does seem to be going fast for them. Look at how much time seems to have elapsed (they’ve moved from room to room to room to room and are wearing different clothes) just while this conversation was occurring.

Never happen Opal. Time and the tides wait for no one.

The days go faster once over the hill and picking up speed on the downhill side

NO! That’s the fast-forward button!

Young, you can’t wait to grow up, while in school time goes slowly, then when you work, quitting time you look forward to, they after being retired a while, you wish you could go back and repeat your earlier life over again!

Sometimes life is like a roll of toilet paper. The shorter it is to the end ,the faster it goes.

It means you’re happier now, guys!

Slow down, you move too fast…looking for fun and feeling groovy.

Nice subtle repeat of yesterday’s joke concept…… recycling is GOOD

Having a garden slows things down, from the seeds finally sprouting, to the first blossoms, fruits and vegetables slowly developing. Then finally, the birds pecking the ripe fruit, the squirrels chowing down on the grapes and hazelnuts; but nothing ever bothers the zucchini!

Tempus Fugit ( and non comebackibus! )

I kind of go by when school lets out and starts again. Brad works at the local high school and it seems like had graduation and now they go back on Monday. Where DID the summer break go? (He works all year but still, it seems as it time flies)

The days go fast, but the nights can drag on.

Oh, if only “pause” and “mute” buttons would work in real life….sun rises/sunsets could last longer, and you could “mute” the noise you didn’t want to hear!

Opal changed her outfits [at least] four times! No wonder she always has laundry to do.

Pause buttons d o not work in life……

Earl really knows how to drag out a conversation, top of his Toast Masters class he was.

After 60, time is sonic.

Yes!

The Circle Game

…16 springs and 16 summers gone now

Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town

And they tell him, "Take your time, it won’t be long now

’Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down"

does anybody really know what time it is?… does anybody really care??

Don’t work even on the TV!

And yet, workdays go so slow.

OK enough. Life goes faster as you grow older—then you crash and die.

Saw “Napoleon” on January 3rd … remember that movie?! Time flies an tends to a terrible crash in the foothills..

Again!!! No one has commented that both of them are wearing different clothes in each panel!!! I get it, Brian!!!
