Pickles by Brian Crane for February 25, 2024

What you need is a spreadsheet that lists everything in the attic. Unfortunately, I’m lazy and I’m not very good at completing tasks like that.

Roscoe thought that was funny.

Most cats like to eat mice. Some cats like to eat spiders (and spiderwebs). Send Muffin up there.

Earl should say “it’s good the way it is”

“if you want to change it then do so”

Earl will ask your grandson to clean it.

Now, Opal, an empty barn does not need a roof!

I thought it was bats who do that Opal?

The phrase, “I want something done but don’t want to be the one to do it,” should be banned.

Is this a sort of round-about “shaggy Earl” story?

Spider Bite! Spider Bite!

hint hint

It looks like Roscoe has a barrel of laughs judging by his facial expressions over the last two days…

Love the look on Roscoe face

She’s being way too subtle.

There will always be spiders, mice and cobwebs in the attic. Leave it alone and read the paper.

way to sell it %

LOL! Of course Opal isn’t going “up there”! I wouldn’t either

Webs, and spiders and meeces…OH MY!

Awwwwww……… you’re SUCH a sweet talker

There you go Earl, it makes sense that you do it.

Roscoe laughing cracks me up!

Insults. Great way to get him to do chores…

Mice in an attic is bad. They will spread throughout your house. I think that would be where Muffin should spend a few days.

Well, Earl …… You know where to get away from Opal if the need be ….. ;)

Roscoe enjoying another good laugh.

Is Opal’s hair a rats’ nest?

What Earl “should” say, but hopefully “won’t” say is……“the spiders and mice wouldn’t be able to gain a foothold in that rat’s nest you already sport up there……dear!”

Umm.. it’s bats that drop into your hair, mice run up your leg.. and that would probably bother both of you.

MICE!!!! Time to burn the house down.

I wish the full Sunday would get published on GoComics, but for the fun of it….. https://www.facebook.Com/photo/?fbid=935213764638477&set=a.229720651854462

We have cats. No rodents and no wee beasties in our house.

That’s it, Opal. Always insult someone when you ask them to do something!

She doesn’t want a spider in her hair but she is willing to send Earl up a rickety ladder where he can either a) fall off the ladder, b) fall through the ceiling, or c) smack his head on a rafter.

Naw, the next owners will take care of it.

Who could resist that reasoning?

Is this the way old people sweet talk each other?

Earl should break out with “♫ I don’t like spiders or snakes ’’’♫”

Call The Boot a Pest Brothers Exterminators and Occasional Moving Services. Cheap!

Earl knew being bald would one day…..bite him!

Will our beloved hero rise to the challenge?

(Possibly.)

Opal could offer to bake cookies while he cleans up the attic.

Wear a hat. Good luck!

Burn!
