Pickles by Brian Crane for March 18, 2023

Roscoe hopes Nelson wasn’t talking to him. He wasn’t paying attention.

I always liked going to school. I think most kids do.

If it’s your grandfather, Nelson, that is until your grandmother has something to say about it.

Both.

Give it a few years, Punky. When we were “them” we wanted to be “us.”

Roscoe’s way luckier than you, Earl

Earl has abrash headmistress.

You don’t like school, I don’t like paying bills, so"…!

Roscoe: “How did I get dragged into this?”

Roscoes , left eye open in the first panel is just precious : )

Thought he was homeschooled.

I think Earl would rather be in school than have to go to the fabric store.

“I won’t grow up, I don’t wanna go to school…”

Usually, Opal has a say so about Earl’s activities. He doesn’t always get to do what he “wants”. Roscoe has it a lot better.

School was where we sent Captain Midnight Code-Graph messages

LOL

Poor Nelson…probably thinks he’s learned all there is to know about life from Grandma and Grandpa! LOL

Yes, ‘Splain!

Nope. I hated it.

Earl is still in the school of life, as are we all.

Wish we had the pandemic when I was a kid and be off for a year and pass!

Roscoe is like “huh”?

Hello – Nelson? Have you met your Gramma?

Fair question……

I think all of you missed the real point of the cartoon. Opal and honeydos kept him from doing what he wants.

You mean he hasn’t told his grandson about walking a mile to school in the snow? All ever wanted was to be at home-never excited about going to school- or have completely blocked it from my memory!

As the little girl in the commercial says, porque no los dos?

Both

Yes. One must continue the challenge of learning every day. For this boy of 80, it’s the challenge of finding the names of actresses of por*.

Now the dog’s in a pickle!

Nelson, if you’re home-schooled by your grandparents, you might just change your mind! ;-p

The dog obviously.

Clearly the dog. I mean you are married old man.

Earl has already served his required years in school.
