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-five years, Crane s comic strip, Pickles, has been delighting readers around the world.
This seventh 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 warm-hearted.
