Pickles by Brian Crane for February 20, 2020

So typical. He got to retire but she never did. Still has to do laundry, cook, clean the house while he expects to do nothing and if she asks him to do one tiny measly thing he acts like he’s being abused.

Roscoe: “What are dirty dishes?”

was it too simple of a task to do, Earl?

The pant stripes change direction. One problem with being old is that you can say “I’ve been through rough days before, and I survived,” but one day you don’t survive.

Putting them in the washer isn’t so bad. It’s having her yaunch at him about putting them in the right way, in the right place and then make him do it instead of doing it right herself.

Yeah….it’s tough being a man…..always having to learn something new every day…

In The Dick Van Dyke Show in the 1960s, Buddy’s wife was Pickles. She was never on tv. He just phoned her.

Takes about a year to adjust the division of labor in retirement. I’ve learned to do my own laundry, clean the kitchen, walk the dog, maintain the gutters, do some of the heavy lifting and watch “Yes to the Dress” with my wife.

You sure know how to ruin a person’s day, Opal! (-:

That was his tipping point.

interesting how it looked like it was going direction and then in the final panel it branched off onto another!

Earl you need an NCIS Gibbs reset moment ;-)

Earl is such a defeatist. I tell myself “I got this!”, over and over again until I do.

Geez, Earl, you coulda used those steps to the sink as part of the walking you’re supposed to do daily. Get your a.. in gear and shape up.

I could never go back to bed. That’s what the La-Z-Boy is for!

Breakfast makes me sleepy, too.

All husbands should know how to do housework. Then they can correct their wife with authority.

IDK about Earl! Lately he’s becoming so inactive and seems down about the simplest things….until it’s time to eat…..

Geeze, he’s lazy.

Oh the humanity!

The horror! THE HORROR!!!

That is like my “rough days” also.

Well it may be your toothbrush and lye pre-treatment requirement.

But that IS rough for a man.

Dirty dishes in dishwasher, clothes in the hamper, toilet seat down. With some people it never ends, I feel your pain Earl

The woman has no shame!!!
