Pickles by Brian Crane for November 26, 2022

Ah, Paul Young. Classic ear worm that I actually enjoy.

Roscoe’s expression, his favorite song!

Originally a Daryl Hall song found on the 1980 Hall & Oates album “Voices”.

If you went to someone else’s home, did you take some Thanksgiving leftovers with you?

Earl must be a Sinatra fan “I did it my way”!

On the CCR song Bad Moon Rising does he think they are singing “There’s a bathroom on the right”?!

I would pay money to hear Earl sing that song. Preach it, you old dear!

Love Rosco’s expressions on the second and last panels. The second panel when he heard meat his tongue is out and the last looking up.

OMG that is too funny! Back in the day when that song came out we had just gotten cable as we lived in a rural area. We were binge watching MTV for the whole week of Thanksgiving. (That’s when they actually had great music videos) about the third day my five year old asked me, and her 10 year old sister “Mommy, why is he taking a piece of meat with him?” We laughed so hard. After that when the song would come on the radio He sister and I would substitute “you take a piece of hamburger (or interchange steak, or beef) with you”. Thanks for the memory Brian. The kids and I are well past the MTV days now.

“And I sang it…MY WAY!”

Perfect timing as it is the closing song for Planes Trains and Automobiles, a Thanksgiving classic.

I still love Earl’s lyrics!

I think he’s singing it Roscoe’s way.

An example of a “Lady Mondegreen”. I commented on this in another ‘toon just a day or so ago. Here’s a link:

Good Grief, Earl, sing the right lyrics!!

Once again, poor Sylvia is drawn looking like Nelson with a blond wig on. Lazy! Sparky would not have approved.

Who can forget the immortal CCR song, “There’s a bathroom on the right!”

I thought the original song was written by some fine young cannibals

Atta boy Earl………..

Earl is channeling Janis: ♪ “Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.” ♪

’Scuse me while I kiss this guy…

“Just call me Angel, in the morning, baby! Just brush my teeth before you leave me, darling…”

“If an eel, bites your thigh, when you go, swimming by, that’s a moray!”

Roscoe just loved hearing the word “meat”.

I hear this in Butter’s voice…

Thanks for ruining that great song for me.

Oh come on, Brian Crane, no Peanuts tribute today?

When did Sylvia become such a porker?

Sounds like a good motto for a butcher shop.

Nothing more annoying than listening to someone who can’t sing…..

Topical for Thanksgiving. ☺

Yesterday was mentioned is asparagus casserole, how is that made?

Artistic license.

Happy 100th birthday Charles Schultz

Looks like Brian Crane didn’t get the memo.

Those are the lyrics I’ve been singing for 37 years.

No Charles Schulz tribute?? Shame on you
