Pickles by Brian Crane for October 17, 2011

Wonder when was the last time earl told Opalshe was cute?

Remember Opal he’s just a kid!

One of the toughest lessons to learn, is to stop when you are ahead!

And you were doing so well, Nelson.

“WHAP”

Don’t keep questioning – and, yeah, quit while you’re ahead!

Well, she ain’t smiling no more!

It is a matter of perspective. She thinks it makes her look old. Nelson thinks it makes her look like happy a Gramma and he adores his Gramma.

Nelson was doing good untill the last pannel…

I think Gramma is about to give Nelson a spanking,

Out of the mouth of babes.

People say I look cute when I smile too..

I love Nelson.. HE’S cute!

No real insult! In the eyes of a child, Gramma is beautiful!

Sorry, but I do not like the new colorist … he/she is ruining the art … it was much better before.

This is the start of a 2 week rerun mode, this Pickles strip is originally from 2008.

Nelson’s hair style looks like a baseball cap.

Woah! What’s with the new look? Don’t like it at all!

I think it was a genuine compliment. Just because she’s older doesn’t mean she can’t look “cute.”

I wonder if Earl put Nelson up to saying that to Opal?? hee hee

I’ve read Crane’s daughter does the coloring. Idk how long she’s been doing it, she was probably pretty young when pickles first came out
