Pickles by Brian Crane for April 04, 2012

She’s looking at the matter Earl.

Yes Opal needs a harlequin to play her fool and cater to her whim.

Solitaire is aptly named for a game played by one…

Earl can still dodge a few “landmines!”

Reading female minds is required for a happy (successful) marriage. That"s why I’ve been single for30 years. Men, you know I ain’t lying!

And you oughta know by now that with Earl that you gotta say exactly what’s on your mind.

How can Earl live in the same toonplace as Opal and not know there is something.

It will be your fault Earl. Run!

Earl may be old, but he’s still spry enough to execute the pivot and run escape

“Oh, nothing” means you don’t want to talk about it. It doesn’t mean “Nag me until I tell you what’s bugging me.”

Awwwwww, Poor Opal.

I know Brian watches my wife to get some of his ideas…..

her “this city sucks. i’m leaving!” me “Good Bye.”

BOOM>

Earl, that’s just what I would say.

I respect women more when they say what is on their mind than when I am expected to guess. The worst phrase in the English language, I believe, is, “Well if you don’t know by now I’m not going to tell you”. (rarely ever uttered by a guy).Fine, don’t tell me. just get out of my face and let me enjoy my beer.

Yeah Earl, PAY ATTENTION!

It’s these kinds of mind games that have kept me single for years; I’m not up for it and don’t dig it. The idea is to love & feel loved and not be manipulated or manipulating.

if what you say is the opposite of what you mean, the more fool you ..
