A Time Machine back to the Dark Ages of cartooning, before we all became (dare I say it?) politically correct and watched our backs!
And before Cozy became a classically senior citizen Literary Genre.
Do you even remember those days of the eighties - faster, leaner and better - free market capitalism? I do.
And they grated on my nerves!
So now that we all are older and wiser and we care enough about our seniors to keep them cozy, comfortable and numb it's all different.
And this hilariously indigestible morsel which reminds us of the world of not giving a f*** we once knew (for it was the beleaguered dawn of a new generation - Generation X) is an artefact.
Sadly (because I like it as an anodyne).
Yes, for the earliest Pickles strips are refreshing in their candour.
Women outlive men so they can clean up the mess they've left behind. Earl hates the pet cat and laughs and says “Yes!” when his cage is put on a different flight from Opal's jet to see her sis, the cat to parts unknown! That kinda impolite stuff.
But I liked it. I'm a senior... And that's me now, in my seniors home.
Oh, well. You Kids probably won't. But I won’t eat my words...
Cause I’ve mellowed!
With a tip of the hat to my fellow cozy seniors I've given it four and a half stars.
Not rounded up, to be politically correct!

A simple pleasure.😁
I'm not a writer, I'm a reader so.... This is a fun light view of life's little occurrences seen from an older, settled couples view point. It was a delightful read.

Sempre bom de reler. Consigo imaginar-me na pele da Opal, mas também tenho um quê de Earl... Palavras para quê? Velhos são os trapos!

Always a good laugh and I actually read it in January. I see myself as Opal so much of the time.

I've enjoyed the Pickles cartoon for over a decade. I look forward to reading it each day in my local paper. This is a fun collection of the cartoon!
