Product Description
Growing old is great fun when you keep your sense of humor and never forget the wonder and energy of childhood. Let's Get Pickled!, the latest collection of Pickles cartoons, feeds on unconditional love¿of pets, old friends, and, of course, family¿to provide zinger-filled humor.

Earl and Opal, a wise-but-spunky loving couple, have been married for 50-plus years. The Pickles' 30-something remarried daughter and her son round out this sweet intergenerational comic that appeals to both sexes and all age groups.

Pickles appears in almost 500 newspapers and has steadily grown in popularity since its debut 16 years ago. Readers nationwide turn to the strip again and again for its good-natured wit and wry humor.

About the Author
Brian Crane was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, but grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. He fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a cartoonist with Pickles in 1990. He gains insight and inspiration for his strip from his wife, their seven children, and his very large extended family. In 2002 Brian received the National Cartoonists Society's award for Best Comic Strip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tickled Over Pickled !, January 11, 2007

By	M. Herr "an observer of history" (Walnut Creek, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Brian Crane has created a wonderful comic series. My only complaint is that, so far, he has only published three collections of his work. "Pickles" makes my day begin and "Let's Get Pickled" is a must-have for anyone who enjoys this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny stories of the "over the hill" older set, February 10, 2008

By	Wilma Tarro "Wilma Tarro" (Newport, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is another funny book for those people who are retired and living with the ups and downs of age. The author certainly has a handle on funny things we can relate to especially now that we are in our 70's too. A great gift for those who have everything but chuckles as they deal with getting older.

I can see myself in every cartoon. I have collected them all. How does Crane originate such humorous presentations. I'm glad I bought the book.
