Earl sure loathes his sister-in-law.

Women may forgive us but they NEVER forget. As long as Earl and Opal have been married you’d think he’d know that.

She doesn’t want to be stranded. She does what she needs to do.

Opal should learn to drive herself.

That’s why there are so many female archaeologists. Women just love digging up the past.

Repeating Opal’s last line fast would break your tongue.

What’s the difference between in-laws and out-laws? Out-laws are wanted.

Blessedly, all of my sisters-in-law are lovely people – and they live several states away.

They can remember insignificant things that happened 10 years ago. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast…

And she doesn’t want to have to forgive you again!

(sigh;) give ‘em an inch, and they’ll take that mile EVERY TIME!

I’ve learned that if you “Forgive but don’t forget” You never truly forgave in the first place.

i am sure that she really does not wanna go see her sister. but one sometimes needs to do what one nedds to do

Kind of a tongue twister in the last panel.

I’m usually on Earl’s side of things, but in all fairness, desertion / abandonment of one’s spouse is a pretty hard thing to forgive, and short of a stroke or serious car accident, impossible to forget.

Either Opal should make arrangements for one of her friends to take her, or Earl should make the arrangements for her. To just leave your wife stranded is a pretty low thing to do.
