\u201cPickles\u201d shows a funny side of family and friendships through Earl and Opal Pickles, who have been married for over 50 years.<\/p>\n

Earl and Opal share their golden years with their 30-something daughter, Sylvia; her husband, Dan; and their beloved grandson, Nelson. Their dense dog Roscoe and cynical cat Muffin also enliven the Pickles\u2019 household. Whether observing the differences between genders and generations or taking a wry but sympathetic look at life in the twilight years, Crane\u2019s wit and dry humor have pleased readers of all ages.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Crane won cartooning\u2019s highest honor, the Reuben Award for Cartoonist of the Year, for his 2012 \u201cPickles\u201d strips. In 1995 and 2001, Pickles was nominated for best comic strip of the year by the National Cartoonists Society, winning the coveted award in 2001.<\/p>\n
