Nary a tantō to be found when you really need one

He’s going to take that to the fabric store and play with it. The knife option might cause him to be arrested.

Rescue me

I want you in my arms

Rescue me

I need your tender charms

‘Cause I’m lonely and I’m blue

I need you and your love too

Come on and rescue me

Come on baby and rescue me

Come on baby can’t you see

That I need you by my side

Can’t you see that I’m lonely

Rescue me

Come on and take my heart

Take your love and conquer every part

’Cause I need you by my side

Can’t you see that I’m lonely

Rescue me

Come on and take my hand

Take my love I want you for my man

‘Cause I’m lonely and I’m blue

I need you and your love too

Come on and rescue me

Come on baby and rescue me

Come on baby can’t you see

That I need you by my side

Can’t you see that I’m lonely

Ooh, whoo, ooh, whoo

Ooh, whoo, ooh, whoo

Ooh, wh-hoo, hoo, ooh, wh-whoo

Love me baby

Love me baby

Hold me baby

Hold me baby

Kiss me baby

Kiss me baby

Squeeze me baby

Squeeze me baby

Oh baby, oh baby

Help me baby

Help me baby

Oh baby, ah baby

Oh baby, ah baby.

NOT THAT EARL ISN’T LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TRIP TO THE STORE, dhg

The Opal removal tweet!! Invaluable!!

Geez, what a cry baby! How much time out of your dedicated sofa-sitter life will be lost by a trip to a fabric store?! And maybe you can make a side trip to a bakery to get something to stuff your face with and add another inch to your waist, Earl!

I’m waiting to see if it works. If so, I need to get one!

That whistle is only a stress reliever Earl, You’re going to the store, !

When you get a new toy you must make sure it works ;-)

If that pen also has a laser pointer, don’t confuse the laser with the whistle.

He is going to be popular at the fabric store!

It’s called a Swiss Army Pen.

Fabric stores, like paint stores, are BORING! “Do you like this color?” “It looks the same to me as the other FIFTY blues you showed me!”

Gadgets and senior men, doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not, We Want Them!

“You’ve been talking about getting more exercise, Opal. You can walk to the fabric store!”

If it works I’m going to buy me one.

Next time buy the Strategic Whistle, it may buy you more time.

Is he blowing it for reinforcements?

Recall previous strip, Earl was telling Nelson Grandma’s secret power. Making time stand still every time he was dragged to the fabric store. Sent a copy to my mom!

Why doesn’t Opal drive?

Years ago, I saw an item that was a pen/disposable lighter. Very strange.

All hands on deck!

so much for THAT (LOL)

does she need an ingredient for whatever she’s cooking up?

NOW THAT’S A MEAN “TWEET”! can’t run for president now Earl – no matter how much better/worse than your opponent – you just had 1 too many mean tweets. sorry bro

“Tactical” has been perverted into a marketing term meaning “Buy this and it’ll make you feel like a real bada$$”. A “tactical” pen? Even sillier than the “tactical” flashlights I’m always getting ads for.

Oooooooo. U. G. H. !

Come on Earl, I take the wife to Hobby Lobby for fabric all the time. I actually like to shop there too for supplies. Suck it up buttercup, you might like it.

Nobody will rescue you, Earl.

I thought opal drives as well…so why does she need to torture earl?

Earl needs to write a book on being Earl.

I always carry my tactical toothpick in its patriot liberty holster.

Can’t she drive?

Does the whistle also perform magic? Did it make Opal disappear?

Her: “There’s eggshell, and buttercream, and ecru, and ivory . . . .”

Him: “There’s white, white, white, and very white.”

I had one of those in the under the seat bag of my bike, never used it. I also had a tire lever to pull off the rubber when I got a flat and CO2 canisters, they had a lot of use.

Since when can’t Opal drive herself?

But does it write?

But can you write with upside down, like in space?

Opal drives. She can take herself…
