Pickles by Brian Crane for June 30, 2022

Earl’s blood sugar is going to skyrocket if he eats just the M&M’s.

Is the cat her diet plan? There is no food in her lap.

Bartender, pour me a Trail Mix (a little heavy on the M&Ms).

Interestingly I’m not a bit trail mix person, but if I do get some, I prefer the kind that’s strong on salty nuts, seeds, coconut strips and dried fruit, with NO chocolate. And I’ve run into people looking for exactly that when shopping. It’s great that there are so many DIFFERENT ways to enjoy the world!

There’s a marketing idea in their somewhere

Earl is my muse!

“Melts in your mouth, not in your hands” tell her Earl!

“Oh, I forgot, those were the first things I ate!”

Is trail mix supposedly healthy because you have to work to find the part(s) you want to eat? (or sort out the parts you don’t want/like?)

I just love the expression on Muffin’s puss when she/he’s included.

The nut is holding the bag

Love peanut M&Ms. Caught imagining what Raisin M&Ms might entail. With chocolate? Peanut butter? Rum Raisin?

M&M Peanuts and Snickers, the healthiest foods on the planet.

Old people may cut down on sweets and/or junk food.

I like to eat peanuts and M&M’s as a snack…yum!

If she does the food shopping…… then TECHNICALLY it’s HER fault.

The trail goes better with that mixture.

Any strip that doesn’t feature Rosco is a letdown!

The yellow and red bag makes me think those are Peanut M&Ms, which would be a good thing.

There’s a saying that trail mix is just M&Ms with obstacles …

A mix of peanuts & M&Ms is actually great for serious hiking/backpacking – but I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would ruin it by adding rabbit excrement………

Muffin takes her turn at 3 of 4 panels ;-)

As a boy, I proved they melted in your hand and in your pocket (sorry mom).

One of each are in there!

For me I love M&M’s especially with nuts, now adult and not knowing when began as I never notice when a child, no more chocolate not even M&M’s. Not even milk chocolate. Not certain of white chocolate though that is rich and I have tried white chocolate. Allergic to not that day but the reaction will take place.

Love how Muffin is giving that look of skepticism.
