Pickles by Brian Crane for June 23, 2021

Old white men are barely tolerated and never painted.

Who is ALREADY disrobed…

You might upset the cat.

Ouch!

I love panel 2 with the side-eye from the cat.

I she was painting Earl, would it be a “Misterpiece”?

DON’T EVEN THINK THAT, EARL!

Thank you, Opal. I thought I was going to have to unfollow the strip for a day or two!

Make it more dynamic and get up off the couch.

Better luck next time Earl !

“Paint me like one of your French cats….”

What does it mean to DISROBE?

Ego smashed!

Great, I’m going to have to go all day with the thought of Earl as a nude…

Muffin is really great today , Right eye then the left and finally the right again . Great stuff today Brian , except for ….. ? Well you know ?

Ya CAN’T unrobe (huh! the autocorrect underlined that, so I guess you can’t disrobe either, Earl!) Earl. . . This is a family comic. . .

Thank goodness we become irrelevant as we get older. That means the social expectations are sloughing off and the accompany stress evaporates. That means we now have more energy.

Yeah, sure, good idea! But, just so’s you know, I’m painting the cat. Now, start with the shirt….

A shifty eyed cat if I ever saw one. Earl would be wise not to disrobe, there are parts of Earl that would not stand up well to a pounce on his mouselike thing, were it to twitch.

Don’t move. You’ll disturb the cat.

Nice try Earl but … ewwwwwwwwwww!

Only a few strips can make me laugh out loud and Pickles is one of them.

If Earl went “I can be pointing over here, or over here…”, would Opal go “Ewww!”, or “Oooo!”?

?¿?

Hilarious!

Every body’s beautiful in its own way.

I would paint the cat a bright green… the cat, not the canvas.

Google “painted cats”. You will be suprised.

No, Earl!

“Your job is to form a nondistracting background. GREAT JOB.”

Shifty eye Muffin!

Earl gave everyone a terrible visual.

The glare off his pasty skin would be blinding

Reminds me of the wacko in “ Good Morning Vietnam” who wanted to buy nude pictures of Walter Brennan.
