At least Earl in the final panel didn’t address Opal as “Sir.”

Oh, just move yourself from in front of the tv Earl and get it cleaned up!

My response might have been, “Yawohl, mein Fuhrer!”
Might be my last words, but still….

Clean the house? Is it that time of year already?

I’ve never understood why some women (definitely not me) insist on a spotless house. There are so many more interesting things to do.

I do believe Earl got it right in the second panel.

That looks like an old tube tv, Earl deserves a big flat screen tv to watch Matlock on.

Why should she do everything? If he lives there he ought to help out.

I think people who have to have everything spotless are trying to have some control in their lives. Spoken from someone who’s been there. It’s still hard to not be able to have it perfect sometimes. HappyTuesday all.

Earl only wanted a little kiss before he starts… (peck)

What you two have missed – ncalifgirl came closer – involves control OF OTHER PEOPLE! People like Opal create a ridiculously high standard, not only unnecessary, but usually not beneficial and sometimes harmful. Then they deman that others do the work with them to try to reach that standard. If they reach it, the control freak raises it higher.
@PhoebeDog & @lightenup have the idea: each do the work to reach the standard that suits you, unless you have fairly agreed on a standard in advance.
