Actually, Earl did kiss Opal in one strip where he finds Opal sniffing a tear and asks her what’s wrong. She said, Nelson doesn’t love me anymore. He wouldn’t even kiss me good night!" Earl replied, “Oh, you know how little boys are. They don’t go in for all that mushy stuff”, where he proceeds to dip her low and give her a great big smooch, saying, “Now old boys on the other hand…”.

Best defense a surprise attack. Wow Earl didn’t know you had it in you. Almost knocked Opal off her feet.

Evidently, Opal likes it… I hope Earl’s ready for the tigress he may have released.

Earl is too understanding. If I had a wife that insults me constantly, I’d leave her.

If I said you had a great body, would you hold it against me?

Oh Earl, wished my own hubby do that, he hardly that way. I have to take action. Opal is very pleased.

Does the saying “Haul off and kiss someone” come to anyone else’s mind?
