Pickles by Brian Crane for July 23, 2024

The sandwich of Earl.

Earl stole that from me.

Ⅰ see he owns the extra large model

Those TV dinner trays are incredibly unstable. It’s a wonder they were popular as long as they were.

What does she want?

Based on the style of his eating, the “tummy shelf”, his spirit animal must be a sea otter.

I’ve long referenced my spirit animal as a seagull. I’ll eat anything.

I used to do that when I was expecting. One time the baby kicked so hard that a plate of cheese and crackers flew off my tummy on the the floor. I was too big to bend down to get it, so the dog ate it up.

Yup, a night of cheesy gas dog, oh so much fun.

Now ask me about the time at nine months preggers when I got stuck in the waterbed and my neighbor had to crawl through my bathroom window to help get me out. True story from 40 years ago :-D

Excellent construction.

Earl, Opal made you a sandwich? She trying to butter you up?!

Put it right here on the ol’ spare tire, dear!

Well, I lost MY appetite. Try a diet, Earl. Take a little pride in yourself.

Tummy shelves sure are convenient!

“Opal, make me a sandwich” “Okay POOF, you’re a sandwich”!

Over 60 and I haven’t developed one of those and don’t plan to!

Oh look, it’s the “Earl of Sandwich.”

You better not get crumbs on the chair, Earl. You don’t wanna do anything to get her upset.

That is NOT sexy.!!!!!

Attaboy Earl……

Gross

I’m puzzled by the number of comic strip characters who seem to eat sandwiches as between-meal snacks. If I eat a sandwich, it’s lunch. A sandwich seems too substantial to be a snack.

Amongst the other mustard stains.

I think that qualifies you as a Plugger, Earl!

I used my baby bump to rest tea and muffins on back in the day. It also served as a perfect spot for newborn kittens to bottle feed as their poor momma got an infection in her teat and the kittens wouldn’t leave it alone.

Peter Sohn realized that when he did the voice of Emile in Ratatouille.

My girlfriend’s over but I sent her away’cause she almost knocked the supper off my TV tray

“We” haven’t used the tummy shelf yet. . . .
