Cast
Inspired by Crane's in-laws, the strip describes their efforts to enjoy retirement, which instead proves quite imperfect for both. Earl Pickles is characterized as having a bald head, glasses, and a bushy white mustache, and wears suspenders. Opal Pickles is characterized as somewhat chubby, bespectacled, and is often seen wearing purple polka-dotted dresses and white sneakers. When sitting, she is usually seen with her pet cat in her lap. Both characters were drawn with their eye pupils visible through their glasses during the strip's early years, but their glasses were later whitened so that they are opaque to readers.
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, and Clyde, Earl's elderly friend.
