Agnes by Tony Cochran for December 22, 2021

Did Trout’s mom give them a recommendation?

Hoo boy…this is just sad, let’s start a collection for them.

Maybe some charitable cartoonist can draw up a bicycle as a Christmas present for Agnes.

Those watercolors contain all kinds of interesting critters, Agnes.

Is that Lysol or roach killer??

I hope that something heart warming happens soon.

Looks like Agnes will get a pet mouse out of the hotel stay…or pet rat. It’s hard to see how long and thick the tail is.

hope it’s not a motel no-tell…

This family could really use a long lost, rich uncle right about now.

Yes Agnes, those sheets glow brightly under UV light too

We will keep the light on for ya.

A number of years ago, Agnes and Grandma’s Christmas arc involved them helping out a family less fortunate than themselves (it wasn’t easy, but they found one).

Maybe that family is now back on its feet and in a position to return the favor…

But, but…we’re still #1 right ?

My forensic scientist son tells me those sheets would be acid phosphatase positive.

Unexpected blessings: a beautiful watercolor.

You know what I like best about Agnes? She never whines about what she doesn’t have, as I unfortunately did during my somewhat more privileged childhood.

Note that Agnes mimics Grannie’s curler.
