Pickles by Brian Crane for October 01, 2024

It got her out of the car.

Earl knows his Spidey sense!

Earl should enter politics. He’s learned how to succeed. Just lie to get whatever you want.

Love the car

Oh! My! Stars! Is that a Studebaker?

Imagine how much a Studebaker in good condition would be worth today. Would be a great find.

Karma has a name and it’s Opal.

Faster than a speeding bullet!

Spider nor bee, neither nor not shall either smite me!!

Miss Muffet ain’t so Little no more

and her tuffet is HUGE!

Earl has his smarts when he needs them.

That poor bee got trampled in the stampede.

To all of yesterday’s commenters who suggested Earl should say this, give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back.

That’s the way to do it, Earl!

My uncle had a Studebaker, back in the mid-50s. It was bright red, if I recall correctly.

Remember that Studebaker used to sponsor Mr. Ed and Wilbur drove one.

GOOD JOB EARL.!!

Earl is good at being cruel to be kind!

These creatures that Opal is so afraid of are harmless if you keep your cool and just don’t aggravate them. I was confronted with a wasp sitting on my balcony but the thing was too busy with the flowers to even care about me. Story of my life!

Wow! I guess I predicted that yesterday. I wish I knew how I did that. If I knew I would run right out and buy a lottery ticket.

I’d just have to say ‘snake’ and my wife would be out.

Problem solved.

I’m with Opal, this time…….been there, done that

Opal stepped on the gas and hauled ….

Love the Studebaker

Problem Solved, now Nelson, let’s go get some ice cream, what do you say?

whatever works. :j

I agree – IS THAT A Studebaker?

Should have just cracked a window and given her a bowl of water.

I still cannot understand how a tiny insect can terrify people like Opal. Bees and spiders are good insects, and will leave you alone as long as you leave them alone.

Studebaker. A car as old as the Pickles.

I was wondering how Earl (who historically is more squeamish than Opal) was going to handle this. Well done. Earl!

Weighing risks.

It’s October! You know what that means? Great big spider season!

The big fat orb weaving barn spiders haven’t learned yet to not build their webs along my walkway. Had to take out two webs just to walk 10 feet to drop off a bag of garbage

Hey, my grandfather’s 1950 Studebaker.

Attaboy Earl!

Earl might participate in “Hot August Nights,” a huge days-long auto (and other stuff) show in Reno. The Pickles live in Sparks, which abuts Reno. Brian Crane lives in Sparks as well. We used to live about four blocks from them before they moved up into the foothills. I greatly enjoyed a presentation by Crane in one of the libraries in Sparks many years ago.

I love Earl!

A bit of trivia, Mr. Ed TV show was sponsored by Studebaker! Alan Young on Dave White Presents said they were offered a new one every year, he also joked Mr. Ed put the company out of business! I liked Alan in the Time Machine (1960) movie with Yvette Mimieux, excuse my spelling!

That is a Champion with the rear window wrapping around the sides.

The bottom line:

She’s out.

HAHAHAHA

Had one, loved those hill hold brakes out in Cheyenne WY.

He is hilarious…
