Description

---

Getting old is not for sissies. But as Brian Crane's crotchety but endearing seniors Earl and Opal Pickles do it, it can be humorous and often touching. For over twenty years, Crane's comic strip, Pickles, has been delighting readers around the world. This sixth collection continues the adventures of grandparents Earl and Opal; their precocious grandson, Nelson; quirky family members and friends; and the family's dog and cat, who offer their own distinctive views of the goings-on. Crane's view of the foibles of a long-married, often cantankerous couple and their extended family and friends is wry, honest, and always warmhearted.
