comment
Men Like Dogs, Women Like Cats: In the strips where Roscoe and Muffin make an appearance, Roscoe is usually with Nelson or Earl, while Muffin and Opal share more interactions. Opal also likes having Muffin lie on her lap, while Earl wants no such thing.

Doting Grandparent: Earl and Opal love and dote on their grandson, Nelson, and many of the strips have him visiting and being shared their wisdom. (Or "wisdom").

Accidental Pun: In a 2009 strip, Opal scolds Earl for delaying a chore and saying "just a sec" one too many times.

comment
Jesus Taboo: Played with at least, Earl and Opal like Brian Crane are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormons), but the comic never outright states it instead having occasional glimpses of religious symbols like the faith's temples as photographs on the wall decorating Earl and Opal's home.

Comically Missing the Point: One strip has Earl announcing that he's going to the dog groomer, while leaving without Roscoe. Opal asks if he's forgetting something, and Earl returns, exclaiming, "Oh, yeah! My car keys."
