Agnes by Tony Cochran for November 26, 2020

Give us this day our daily bread. And an occasional slice of turkey.

I’m so glad to see a turkey on that table. Grandma tries so hard but has so little. Poor lady, will she ever be able to stop working and retire? I think not.

And Agnes’s blessing says it all, so simply.

Shakespeare version…

Some turkeys are born great,

some achieve greatness,

and some have greatness baked upon them.

(Had to look it up on brainyquote, with slight modification. Feel free to use that at the dinner table later today.)

Amen

Dear God, this is food?

Think about everything.

Covers most of the bases…..

Grandma will no doubt get a great reward in heaven. She is a saint.

“I can no other answer make, but thanks, and thanks.”

Twelfth Night, or, What You Will

In panel 4, Agnes would likely follow up with, “Let’s eat!”

Father, Son, Holy Ghost Who eats the fastestGets the most. Amen.

Those who have never seen REAL hunger and/or poverty can’t really understand.

I set a Boar’s Head turkey sandwich for me.

“Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks.”
