Pickles by Brian Crane for March 17, 2019

did Earl forget he de-iced Opal’s car in January as well as forget to tell her that same January?

Never let them forget lest they start to take you for granted.

“… either that or ACTUALLY be helpful more often.”

Remember, if the women don’t find you handsome they should at least find you handy.

Earl’s brain just unthawed ;-)

Remember when I put gas in the ’57 Chevy?

For the most part, the Late and Unlamented was neither use nor ornament. Once the baby had a horrible cold and he slept in the recliner with her on his chest to help her breath. For years, he boasted about how helpful he was so much even the girls were tired of hearing the story!

Used to go to dinner almost every night

Dancin’ ‘til I thought I’d lose my breath

Now it seems your dancing feet are always on my couch

Good thing I cook or else we’d starve to death

Ain’t that a shame?

What have you done for me lately?

Ooh ooh ooh yeah-Janet Jackson

I think that there is a statute of limitations on helpfulness.

Reverse the situation. A woman keeps a mental Rolodex of every screwup a guy has done, and plays the card at any moment’s notice. Guys are far more reluctant to play those games, though we think it.

Uh…short term memory is first to go….

I figured he was going to ask for a grilled cheese. Nope.

♪♪ What have you done for me lately?? ♪♪

A Remembrance of Things Past…..

In the first panel, is Opal playing the recorder or about to light up a really big cigar?

Whether you are being helpful or not is often determined by the one being helped.

Yea, considering she from time to time reminds him otherwise. Perfect or not, good for them.

Once again, Opal is a rag-bag. The only thing she can be is mean.
