The VA sends my prescription medicines in gray plastic envelopes. One time the mail carrier put a rubber band around two of those envelopes with one of them showing my address. I didn’t even look at the address label on the other one and opened the package. It didn’t contain my meds. The address was less than a block away and I took the the whole package over to the address on the envelope. I had written a note before I left the house in case the person wasn’t at home. But, I was able to give it directly to him. The mail carrier who did that wasn’t the regular carrier. My regular one is also a veteran and he knows what mail to put in my box.
I just discovered Pickles last week and just finished reading it from start to finish. One thing I’d like to know. What did Earl do before he retired? There isn’t a clue in the comics, but I’ve been wondering. Bank president? Nah, he’s too much of a bum sometimes and not rich enough. Plumber? My dad was a plumber and Earl is nothing like my dad. School teacher? Retail? A manager at least, but he’s pretty indecisive for a manager or teacher. Truck driver? No. Doctor, lawyer? Not clever enough. Barber? Maybe. Insurance? Maybe. Construction? Too unhandy around the house. Mmmm…. enquiring minds want to know.
Who says it’s the same blouse or shirt? They could have several of a special style or color they like, and change daily. I’m good not knowing which, unless they come out with monitor scratch-‘n’-sniff technology.
n my house, the person who picks up the mail from the box is the person responsible for weeding out all the junk mail. There’s a few mistakes made but it’s worth it to the one who doesn’t have to sort it into recycle, shred, his, and mine. There’s not much actual mail.
Once the mail is delivered it is considered private property – it is no longer in the hands of a federal employee and it is not a ‘federal’ crime to open it – FYI – you’re home mailbox is “personal property” and if mail is stolen from it, call the police – not the post office…
They just argue nowadays, and make fun of each other. Not funny to make fun of someone for wanting a respectful boundary. She’s right. Back off, Earl. Be respectful. … I used to forward almost all of these daily strips to friends, but not for a long time now. I miss the old humor before all the meanness between them.

If the mail is sent to the address where the husband and wife live, it’s not illegal for one of them to open the other person’s mail.

Of course Earl is committing the same fashion crime. Less the panties. I think.

For Pete’s sake, it’s a comic strip. Dagwood wears the same outfit every day too.

Some characters might not even be recognizable with different clothes. Consider what Charlie Brown has worn all these years.

OFF WITH HIS HEAD or maybe to bed without his supper.
Or maybe nothing.

Amazing that so many commenters are hung up on clothes.
