    I see that the kid with the pigtail in the second frame walks tipped backwards, just like Agnes and Trout.

    Must be an epidemic of thick skulls!!

    THIS is what was missing just before the strip on 03-04! It would’ve made so much more sense.

    I did that years ago on a provincial history test. I had no idea what I was writing … just a bunch of words on paper. Fortunately, one of my older cousins was marking the exams and somehow I received a passing grade … “just” passing.

    You can’t fake lackadaisicality! (Actually you can, I just wanted to use that word. And actually, I hope it isn’t a word….)

    But… If she was stupid, then she’s fine! But… If she was smart, then she’s in trouble. But… Being smart was stupid. But… [WHRRR! FZZT! POP! SSSS….]

    Maybe the teacher read your paper last, Agnes.

    “Smart” Agnes is just a haphazard occurrence

    Heinlein:

    “Still rarer is the man who thinks habitually, who applies reason, rather than habit pattern, to all his activity. Unless he masques himself, his is a dangerous life; he is regarded as qu3er, untrustworthy, subversive of public morals; he is a pink monkey among brown monkeys — a fatal mistake. Unless the pink monkey can dye himself brown before he is caught.

    “The brown monkey’s instinct to kill is correct; such men are dangerous to all monkey customs.”

    (Agnes is looking for some brown dye.)
