Pickles by Brian Crane for April 17, 2015

OK, which one is coming home in a Box?

When was the last time we saw Sylvia’s husband? In the mean time, if Earl and Opal are planning to get a souvenir from the volcano for their grandson, how about a rock? On second thought, better not… wouldn’t want to be cursed by Madam Pele.

There’s going to trouble!

I did that, the guide finished her introduction with “And if the mountain starts shaking, the tour is over, you can keep the bikes, and we’ll see you at the airport!”

And then Earl finds that little tiki idol at a construction site and they’re plagued with one piece of bad luck after another.

Earl took clean socks and underwear only. He must be skinny dipping.

Glad to see Earl is actually enjoying himself…AND spending time with Opal!!

Funny things happen when you are on holiday!

My wife took a rock from the Grand Canyon. I told her that if everyone did that, there would be a big hole in the ground.

You wouldn’t catch me doing either of those things.

Reminds me of an episode of the Golden Girls when all they though Sophia did on her walks was buy a nectarine.

Good for the Pickles!

This coming from the guy who couldn’t get out of the bean bag chair! Very daring indeed!

People taking rocks is one of the reasons there is a big fence around Stonehenge.

Earl looks like ’ The Happy Fisherman ’…

how do they keep their glasses on?

Whoa – a bf/husband for Sylvia! First time for me.

take a picture of the spotted eagle ray and the frogfish for the grandkid

Finally ! We get to view the husband?

“first time i’ve seen a boyfriend”.Interesting that we live in a world in which a woman with a child and adult male, the adult male is assumed to be a boyfriend rather than husband and father to the child.

ebsan, good one.

This is the first time I’ve seen Sylvia’s husband.

He’s a looker!

As for Earl & Opal… I have a feeling this holiday will be unforgettable for them both.

And for us readers.

Go Earl, go Opal ! May they discover they have a lava love yet to be shared. (sorry)

I’ve read Pickles every day for nearly five years, and had never seen Dan except in the archives.

Hurrah for Earl & Opal !
