Pickles (comic strip)

Pickles is a daily and Sunday comic strip by Brian Crane focusing on a retired couple in their seventies, Earl and Opal Pickles.[1][2] Inspired by Crane's in-laws,[3] they find retirement life less than idyllic. The comic is set in Crane's hometown of Sparks, Nevada. The cast includes their dog Roscoe and their cat Muffin; their grandson Nelson Wolfe and his parents - their daughter Sylvia and her husband Dan, a wildlife photographer.

Pickles has been published since 1990. In 2001, it was named best newspaper comic strip of the year by the National Cartoonists Society.[4]
