Pickles (comic strip)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pickles is a daily and Sunday comic strip by Brian Crane focusing on a retired couple in their seventies, Earl and Opal Pickles.[1]

Inspired by Crane's in-laws, the Pickles find retirement less than idyllic. The cast includes their dog Roscoe, their cat Muffin, their grandson Nelson, and his parents, their daughter Sylvia and her husband Dan, a wildlife photographer. Pickles has been published for over fifteen years. In 2001, it was named best newspaper comic strip of the year by the National Cartoonists Society.[2]
