Pickles by Brian Crane for February 06, 2020

Sorry Opal but life is full of unanswered questions.

what a headscratcher

All kids are Dadaists.

Though you do have to wonder what experience Crane had that led to this strip.

If he was using it to get those hard to reach places maybe it’s time to invest in a bathbrush.

Why is a mouse when it spins?

Excellent strip today. The “absurd answer expected to be comprehensive but leaves everyone confused instead” is honestly one of my favorite formats. Well done.

This answer leaves me afraid to know more.

Well, Opal, isn’t it obvious? How else is one expected to flip pancakes while showering?

Honestly, I would have questions I would not want to know the answers to!

“unanswered questions”? You mean you’re not going to ask Earl why he was using the spatula?

1) Prying the bar of soap of the floor? 2) Cleaning gunk off the tiles? 3) Unplugging the drain? 4) Swatting flies? 5) Messing with Opal’s mind?

Opal ask the rabbits you have on your feet ;-)

The game is afoot!!

Asking too many questions will only give you a headache.

It may be time to hide the car keys.

Ask not for whom the spatula turns . . . .

Back in the day, it was because “motorcycles don’t have doors”.

Time for a new spatula!

And I don’t care how many times it goes through the dishwasher!

He needed to shovel snow from the front of the porch but didn’t want to get out the shovel. Since he no longer could stand up straight after that, he climbed into the shower. Sometime after the shower, he dropped the spatula. Better go look for Earl, Opal!

I replaced the diverter spout myself yesterday, and I can tell you, it takes more tools than you would think.

How else is he going to scrub his back if not for the washcloth draped over the spatula? ;o]

One never knows what Earls up to…however, involving a spatula, he may have tried to get something from the kitchen…god only knows what he’s up to…..as Opal shakes her head…..in disbelief…..

When in a pinch use a spatula for all those hard to reach places!

Will we find out tomorrow?

This strip seems to be running out of funny punchlines and is getting wordy and inconclusive.

Nice bunny slippers, Opal.

If there’s hair on it, to the wastebasket. Methinks it can’t be the first time and she’s getting senile.

How else you going to remove all of the barnacles?

I had an old microwave or speaker magnet on the wall of my schoolbus, papers regarding riders stuck to it with a set of toenail clippers clamping them down by their attraction to the magnet.

“Mt. Green, is that a set of toenail clippers up there?

“Yes, it is.”

“Of course it is,” and the student had no further question.

(Being (falsely, of course) considered insane has its benefits.)

Time to visit Spatula City for a new one. Better get two. One for Earl, and one for the kitchen.

BUNNIES!
