Earl is no dummy. If a perfectionist asks you to do something, and you do it badly, or in any way not up to their standards, you will never have to do it again.
Nelson is a wise kid, reflecting on what he sees, integrating the observation with what he already knows. Earl removed the visible dirt, but Nelson knows the glasses aren’t REALLY clean. Next he’ll put that together with the towel folding episode, and the pattern will begin to emerge. Then he’ll decide how and when to adopt the same strategy.

I like that the PTOO in the second panel looks as gross as at sounds, looks like someone spit on my screen.
