Pickles by Brian Crane for January 01, 2022

Earl’s a real hardly working fellow!

Earl, you are the man.

At least Earl is realistic.

If I lost 25 pounds there wouldn’t be much of me left.

Earl should be more supportive. He could “join” her mantra with “You can do hard things.”

… and to himself, “… and I can soft things – like the sofa in the living room.”

At least he us admitting it.

“Work smarter, not harder” right Earl?

Earl is more realistic!

Setting the bar low(er) this year, Earl?

Earl’s Get Up And Go … Done Gone Up And Went ;-)

Well, this week we had 4 out of 6 daily Pickles strips in reruns. I bet this Pickles strip is in its final months…

I’m about 25 pounds lighter than I was this time last year. Was it hard? Yes. Was it doable when putting my mind to it? Again, yes.

I can relate, Earl. My mind is willing, but my body isn’t.

I was doing just fine until I was reminded of all the half empty goodie boxes from Christmas. H-m-m-m-m keep or toss, keep or toss. . . well, maybe try one to see if they have gone stale.

After passing a certain age, who cares…LOL

Try keto Opal.

Happy and Blessed New Year!!

..and “drive my husband insane”. She should have also said. Ever deal with a Hangry wife?

Earl knows himself.

Had three uncles just like Earl. Their wives all outlived them. Not accidental.

Panel four could have gone an entirely different direction

Maybe start small, get a new blouse, and see how that goes.

we earned it enjoy it

I don’t think Earl has the gist of a mantra.

Hey, Once you retire. Why waste all that relaxation.

Yup…… that’s my DAD.!!

Opal not as easy as you think, you have to take it slow, and change your source of food intake. Mean time my indoor skier which makes me sad gave it up and with we have winter weather, that weather held off for New Years Eve allowed me to celebrate a birthday, then during the night came. Too bitter cold outside where I live at to go for walks even with winter coat. My sister’s husband been complaining as she has cut out sugar she is down 35 pounds he likes that just not on himself.

My friend came into the office and said, “I’m not remotely working.”

If I lost 25lbs, I’d still be 215!

Idealist, meet Realist.

works for me

well, if ya go for just a pound, a week..

He’s working hard at hardly working…
