Pickles by Brian Crane for February 02, 2024

Aging but not Elvis look-alike.

Don’t be cruel, Opal.

Opal is quite cruel! Give Earl his dream!

Beats the dead on a toilet version.

Ringo Pickles? nah

Roscoe chimes in with, “You ain’t nothin but a hound dog…..”

Or something, definitely.

Have you seen Phil Collins lately?

Roscoe is hip.

Next, Opal finds Earl in the kitchen stripped to the waist, sweating profusely as he beats rhythm on her pots and pans …

Earl, Get yourself a fancy jump suit than maybe!

Roscoe even smirks at that one!

Plenty of old rockers to emulate.

I’d take it, Earl, better than nothing!

Get a sequined jumpsuit.

Elvis LIVES, ya know!!

And Opal looks like a balding Cass Elliot. I think we’re finished here.

Earl’s better looking than Elvis.

Even Roscoe got a chuckle out of that!

You go, Opal!

Be careful, Opal…Earl may want you to start making peanut butter and banana sandwiches…

It looks like Roscoe is laughing in the last panel : )

Long live the King!

Looking like any kind of Elvis would be considered a positive thing by many men.

Looking like Elvis: not an insult

saw Elvis live in ’75…still the king

Some women would (still) worship an aging Elvis.

I like Roscoe’s reaction in the fourth panel.

Always love that Roscoe laugh.

Wife compares loving husband to an obese drug-addicted singer.

Aging Elvis? I could live with that.

Drummer, Lawrence Welk Orchestra.

Uh, Thank yuh, Thank yuh verruh much! Earl has left the building!

Never saw Elvis with a mustache, could be wrong

He last comment got to Roscoe……..

Seems like Opal is is constantly taking mean jabs at Earl—what’s up with that?

Just don’t do anything rash, Earl, like trying to swivel your hips. You’ll just throw your back out.

Well since my Opal left me,

I found a new place to dwell,

It’s at the end of happy street,

The all you can eat hotel.

I’m feeling so happy baby,

I’m feeling so happy baby,

I’m feeling so happy, try the fries.

She always SO pleasant

To be honest, he DOES look like most of the 70s rockers today! Good job, Earl!

There are so many worse things Opal. I think he’s very handsome this way!

And you thought razor burn was bad.

Opal! You’re such a downer

“You ain’t nothing but a hound dog…”

Does Opal think that’s she’s some prize?

Well, he has the pot for it and is kind of a Twinkie.

I’ll take a balding aging Elvis for the win!

Would you prefer an aging bald Don Knotts, Opal?

Says the woman wearing bunny slippers.

Attention KMart shoppers: sanity has left the building.
