Pickles by Brian Crane for May 18, 2015

Would you rather be a cute little cherry instead, Nelson?

Looks more like a cute little strawberry.

I wonder what she’s going to be making for Earl?

That is just plain mean.

Maybe he’d prefer to be a Red Hot Chili Pepper.

She SHOULDA’ said:“A TEENAGE MUTANT CHILI PEPPER”

He;s not 2 months old for goodness sake.

Still, not as bad as the pink bunny pajamas in A Christmas Story.

Nelson wears that hat to school, he’s liable to get beat up.

L Dawson this ones for you!?!

that would work for… one of those food-based elementary school plays. Maybe Halloween if he got the right props to be a cool scalding hot pepper- like a fire extinguisher

But I don’t want to be a pirate!

But, Nelson, Grandma worked so hard to make that for you. I thought it was a tomato at first.

Anne Geddes will pay in the afterlife for what she has done to babies and children everywhere.

That’s a pretty tough attitude toward a grandmother who is trying to do something nice! (and she didn’t force him,, just asked him to try it on) sheesh.

The main thing is that Nelson is cute.

He looks like a mascot for Chili’s restaurants.

But I don’t want to be a pie!

He would prefer being a red hot one?

Someone always beats me to the good ones @Coffeee-Turtle :D

cheer up. it’s better than being a roasted pepper

I’m with you. My grandmother, to keep busy, would work in her garden every day. Fresh healthy food, fresh baked bread, those are the memories I have. If my granny ever tried to pull thee cute chili pepper stunt with me, I would have had a lot less bread and food.

Well I’m afraid that’s too bad, Nelson. You are a cute little chilli pepper!

Looks more like a strawberry to me !

I invented the therapeutic

hat. Can’t reveal all its elements…but a main one is duct tape.

Change your name to Flea and be a Red Hot Chili Pepper.

OMG OPAL! I thought you loved your grandson!

Cartoonist stuck for material ??
