Brian, I always save Pickles for last to read in the RGJ. The news is so depressing, that I really need that little lift that Opal and Earl give me every day.  Kep up the good work. You are "One in a Million".

Dorothy Gates, your loyal follower.

Brian, your sense of humor is just what I need as I start my day. I've always liked making people laugh and I feel it is a way of exchanging Love. Thanks so much your good work. Peace and Joy to you.

Thank you Brian as your comic strip makes my day. As I can relate to them being 72 years old

I can honestly say your comic is up their with Cul De Sac and Pearls Before Swine as one of the goods ones in a funny page that is usually devoid of all humor.
