Pickles by Brian Crane for May 07, 2023

Count to ten Earl. So you’ll cool down.

is she trying to get Earl to get a few steps in today? Or just being a giant PITA

I take mine out:• When I go to bed.• At the dentist.• At the barber’s.• When I shower.• When I swim.

That’s about it.

No need to get up next time

That’s like looking all over the house for my phone when it is in my hand.

I’m hard of hearing BUT if can watch your mouth move I can hear you, during mask time that was impossible. At the VA they would pull their masks down and I could hear them

too bad they didn’t keep your brains from leaking out

Cranial smoke. Carcinogenic if inhaled.

—and if you get that reference, I love you.

And now he has got his daily exercise.

So, he’s lucky they don’t have a garage sink or a workshop shed, or he’d be looking until dinner.

Then you need to turn them on!

Opal just out-Earled Earl!

What? What did you say? Eh?!

Never do a job yourself if your husband is there to do it for you. (Been there, still doing that.)

I did that once with my glasses…they were on all the time!

That’s happened before! My sister couldn’t find her hearing aids so she had to buy new ones. Comes to find out, many months later the cat found them and batted them under the dryer…..☺️☺️☺️

Earl got that right

It’s like my teeth – I tend to forget I’ve put them in.

OK……. you get ONE of those

Hey ……. “TURN the D*MN things ON” ……. :)

Easy Earl….easy….

Well, I had to get those fool things a couple months ago, and I can assure you, you never forget that they’re in there; blasted uncomfortable chunks of plastic! (And yes, I did get them molded to fit.)

Oh, well, at least the sound quality’s crap……..

What did she say? Huh?

I do that with my glasses on my head, in front of my eyes too, would you believe…

Earl has been completely domesticated.

Opal deliberately did that to Earl. That’s how mean she can be.

Earl going to take the batteries out of her hearing aids…Payback

My late sweet mother-in-law wore those tiny hearing aids and was just beginning to lose her faculties. She had taken them out and laid them on the counter and was eating abg of chips while talking on the phone. She absent mindedly picked up her hearing aids and chomped down and chewed a few times on them, ruining both of them. I guess it was good she didn’t swallow them.

Yup. My house is definitely bugged!!

(Well, not for this item but similar circumstances.)

Once I was looking for a shirt I was already wearing

She clearly was wearing them in panel 3. Did Earl not notice she heard and answered him without difficulty?

Where are my glasses gets more playing time.

New batteries needed?

In the kitchen, it is a sink. In the bathroom, it is a wash bowl.
