Pickles by Brian Crane for January 31, 2022

Roscoe enjoyed that statement just as much as Opal did.

No, the barber parted two of your hairs ‘on the wrong side’. At least it is not a comb over. Are men so vain, or blind that they do not realize that a comb over is a red flag pointing directly at the cause of the comb over.

His underwear also parted his hair on the wrong side.

You have to have a really sharp razor to part that one hair…

From where I’m sitting it looks like he parted it in the middle.

Or from side to side.

Moses at the Red Sea should have made such a part.

The back side?

It seems that Earl is simply a cross between Charlie Brown and Mr. Magoo.

My barber has a sign in the window that says “Senior Discount.” I asked him how old one had to be for the senior discount. He replied “Bald.”

Like Moses parted the Red Sea.

Earl you stepped in it again :-)

Part of the barber’s charm is that he can find any to part.

Even Roscoe thought it was funny!

Any funnier and Opal would have been ROFLing!

Earl’s right. The barber parted his hair on the INSIDE.

It’s been so long I don’t remember.

’’Hair’’ is singular, in Earl’s case.

Hair we go again..!!!!!

I have never had a part in my hair.

My barber now spends more time on my eyebrows, nose, ears, and mustache than on my head. Hair doesn’t leave you completely. It just gets lowered.

Which is sillier, I really can’t say; / A combover or a bad toupee? / Is baldness is a curse? / I know things that are worse. / I’ve other things to worry about today.

LMAO!

Is it legal for me to take the hair growing out of my ears and pull it over the top of my head?

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Looks like he departed your hair on both sides.

Roscoe’s looks parted, too.

“Got a haircut, huh? Which one?” ☺

awfully large part

Driver’s license application and renewal form asked for a physical description: Height, weight, eye color, hair color. I wonder how long after my hair turned gray that I answered “Brown.” That question is no longer on the form.

After a lifetime of crew-cuts and flat-tops, at the tender age of 25, a Bell Telephone Laboratories Co-Worker said I should let my hair grow out - then at least a year of angst began trying to decide the best side for the part.

Your fabulous looks are irrevocably ruined!!!

Oh wow is Earl.

(Sounds of sobbing in background)

Can hardly wait for Earl to have the last laugh when Opal gets a mishap from the salon.

Looking at the comments, I guess that none of the Trolls for Trump read Pickles. Because when the subject of combovers comes up, pre-reactive defense hackles for #45 seem to come up, too.

Yup that would be funny.

Why are these two not more civil to one another?

If I ever get to that state I’m gonna go full Picard.

Even Roscoe snickered at that one.

Roscoe’s expression in the last panel is priceless.

Count himself lucky!

Earl needs to learn to laugh at himself. He’d do better coming home and setting up that complaint as a joke. Opal would have more patience with him.

the dog’s reaction in the last panel is priceless!
