I’m happy, yet I’m crying… my emotion chip must be malfunctioning. Merry Christmas Agnes and Merry Christmas to Mr. Cochran and all the wonderful readers of GoComics.
I knew Tony wouldn’t let us down…. this is a strip about love and growth and potential, focused on what wonders and dreams one small girl can pull from what some would find a meager supply of life’s bare necessities.
I didn’t think he would let it veer off into darkness.
HOOORAY!!___________________________________About three years ago, there was an arc in which Granny and Agnes were to visit said sister (in Pomeroy, I believe). Snow came while they were driving and then Granny’s truck broke down. So they were stranded in a small-town motel while the truck was repaired. The motel keeper gave them a bucket of fried chicken (from a two for one coupon) and Christmas was happily celebrated there. A great arc.
However one might describe the trailer, I don’t think that un-cheerful would be part of it. Agnes knows what she has and is thankful for it. I’ve known more than a few people who were not so lucky.
But, David said all will be well with the world when you can gripe about Gran again. I think that was well meant; you know, like you can’t have Fridays without Mondays so you’d miss Mondays if they weren’t there.

Granny has a sister. She visited the sister a long while ago (maybe 10 years ago?), but I’m not sure if she’s still alive.

Coming from you, I assume you mean that as compliment, so thank you for the thought, but you’re Number One and we all love you just the way you are.
