㋡ HA!

Zing!

touché, Opal

His prescriptions include one “stupid pill” a day….. because it’s guaranteed to keep him stupid.

Rather than maintenance medicine, it would be best to have a single one-time dose which cured the problem.

Earl’s definitely did the trick.

How long is it before Earl gets Opal’s implication?

Kick Pearl in the a$$

This is more of a Harrison Bergeron situation. Earl has to dumb himself down to weather Opal’s constant carping.

It’s getting to the point where Earl and Opal never have any nice moments together.

If I wanted bickering people, I’d be reading “Lockhorns.”

But the pharmaceutical companies insist on selling them to us anyway.

An oldie but a goodie, Earl and the joke.

For what?

You just had to set her up for that, huh, Earl?

Maybe never; but a reaction would be nice to see.

Maybe you don’t need those pills, Earl!

Earl? You also don’t need to take any “Married To A Horrendous Person” pills. You seem to have that covered without any meds.

If he doesn’t take them you might wake up alone, Opal.

Earl is wondering how soon he can use that line on someone else. (Not Opal)

Ba-dum-pum!

Exactly, that’s why I have you Opal!

I swear, Opal is one of the meanest women in comics.

It took me a minute !

She’s right. He married her.

Soooooo………….. what are you SAYING, Opal.????

Love the joke here, but have to ask what would everyone think if the genders were reversed? Why is it okay to have the male be the butt of the joke and not the reverse?

Why does this comic strip make me feel right at home?

She could have asked, “Are you sure?”

ouch!! A solid hit.

I like to take my pills ar night. Bitburger pils are my favorite.

I always remember to take my stupid pills! It’s my smart pills I forget to take….

Ouch!

Hmmmm‼️☺️

I have pills and herbs to take for memory improvement. I wish I could remember to take them…

maybe he should’ve said f***ing pills?

Sometimes I think that Opal overdoses on her snarky pills.

Cha cha cha.I take ginkgo biloba for memory. Unless I forget.

We’ll get up and take them now….stupid!

Pills for what?

That is so funny – I laughed out loud all by my self in the living room!

Brian Crane and I share the same wicked sense of humor that should read. Oooops!

Thanks to Opal, Earl doesn’t have to take anything for a headache, either.

Fish in a barrel, fish in a barrel.

If I forgotten to take two of my pills, one my body would feel bad the other lab work would tattle, I be heading to heart attack.

Opal’s right. Earl’s first stupid act was marry her sorry @$$!

Most people don’t WANT to take those.

Well, Crankshaft is part of the GoComics lineup now, so Earl now has a partner in stupidity

Absolutely perfectly hilarious!!!

Excellent.

I wonder if Earl understood that shot?

WOOT!!! Gud won!!!

If I were Earl I don’t think I would talk to Opal. Everything she says is mean.
