Pickles by Brian Crane for October 15, 2024

“What can I say? I’m a pile pusher.”

Poor Roscoe’s having a rough day!

LOL. Good one, Mr. Crane.

I think Roscoe deserves his own strip. :o)

Pooch with piles. Painful.

I think someone must’ve done that to 1 of the dogs we adopted bc the poor thing was terrified of brooms!

She loves you Roscoe, but lying on top of the warm laundry is Muffin’s job!

So, rake the leaves into a pile for Roscoe, then rake the leaves into another pile. If he keeps jumping in your piles as you rake them, another option would be to rake the leaves right on top of him.

why rake the leaves anyway?

He keeps plopping himself down on his piles? That must be extremely uncomfortable.

Opportunist.

Put the basket on a chair and fold your clothes at the table! End of problem.

I think Roscoe likes the warmth of leaves and laundry!

Sorry, you deal with him!

Earl actually uses a rack instead of a blower. I have new respect for him!

Years ago, Copper, our Beagle would burrow into a big pile of leaves as if searching for something. He would burrow back and forth until the entire pile was scattered!!

POOR DOG

So true our German Shedder puts her ball right in front of the mower so I will have to throw it.

Funny! Did this leaft your spirits?

They DO own a leash. Use it, already.

Both cats and dogs have a thing for warm laundry in a pile just waiting for them to plop down in it.

Earl, THIS is the sign you’ve been waiting for! When your dog is playing with your piles, get those hemorrhoids to a doctor!!

What, no leash laws in Pickelsville?

Poor Roscoe! My Yorkie would get on top of a pile of clothes right out of the dryer and promptly pass out!

Roscoe will plop onto any available pile.

That laundry must’ve been fresh outta the dryer…nothing like warm towel,blanket,etc so roscoe just got comfy…..

LOL

Roscoe may be my favorite character in this strip!

Warm and fuzzy eludes Roscoe today.

Earl’s got piles?… there’s a cream for that…

piles /= piles

NOT gonna touch that one, Earl!

Poor Roscoe, they need to treat him better.

Leaf raking is overrated in my opinion. Let them blow.

My dogs never did that just my cats as long as the pile was nice and warm..

I would like to see someone walking Roscoe sometime this year. It has been longer than I can remember. (That means it could have happened yesterday.)

Poor Roscoe! He just can’t catch a break!

Dogs. Can’t live with them, … just fine without them (+ more disposable income)

He’s all yours, Earl. Like it or not.
