Agnes by Tony Cochran for July 12, 2023

you need to learn the theory of relativity, Trout. How you two became friends?!

Time seems different when you’re a small child. And Agnes’ click is bound to be off….

Is there nobody on God’s green earth who can give poor Agnes encouragement and honest affection?? She’s knocked down by everyone she knows—especially her grandmother and so-called “best friend”!!

Yeah, yeah—it’s just a comic strip, but many comics ring true-to-life.

Agnes missed her “struggle” by that much. Thanks, Trout.

Rerun…

Whatever. Agnes is good at whining. And quitting.

She wrote the book on quitting, but unfortunately it didn’t sell well

“I’m not a whiner!”, she whined…

Good friend in not letting her get to far into her fantasy. Fantasies are good as long as reality is nearby.

i feel agnes’s pain. i myself sometimes struggle for minutes and minutes before seeking aid from a higher power, my wife…

Trout has her down pat.
