She needs to give him a dope slap but it probably wouldn’t do any good and it might hurt her hand.

Panel 5: Opal decides Earl would look good in a pine box.

For some reason, Opal looks like she’s a member of a bowling team…

Not the reply she wanted, but hey, at least he is being honest.

I don’t know how she looks in purple, but she sure does not look good in that blouse.

Very few people actually look good in purple. But Earl’s just yanking her chain anyway.

I’m pretty sure my wife and I have had this same conversation more than once.

“Does this make me look fat? " Same idea!

Well Opal go put on something purple and see what Earl says !

A colorist told my wife she looks good in purple.

Earl must like eating spaghetti-o"s out’a the can…..

Uh oh! He HATES the color! Opals next move is…….

In fairness to Earl, that blouse is pretty hideous. But he probably should have kept his mouth shut.

Geez, Opal. . .since when is Earl a fashion guru. . .he wears the same blue shirt ALL the time. And those nondescript pants. . .

And 30 pounds lighter. If you’re picking a fight, get it all said before she retaliates.

Maybe it’s one of those things where some people see one color and others see another

I’m at least as old as Opal and think that blouse makes her look like a linebacker!

I look good in any color except yellow.

Really does anyone look good in Beige?

Earl is soooo right-Opal go change-too hideous.

That’s not beige. Do we need new crayons?

Don’t ask a question if you don’t want an honest answer. That being said, has Earl learned nothing during so many years of marriage?

Purple makes my mouth drool. Pavlov, are you listening?

Truth is truth. An opinion is an opinion.

(And purple is pretty.)

He’s trying to be kind in his criticism.

A back-handed non-compliment.

He’s obviously color blind….there are many people out there that are.

Beige and purple maybe? How about lavender and black?

Sometimes this strip is just like “The Lockhorns”.

I love… ‘Ol Roscoe’s expression, in panel #4…. “Oh, crap! And, I’m in the middle of this!?”
