My 7 year old daughter used colored pens to give dancing bears ‘tattoos’ to the folks sitting around us on the lawn at the 1995 Deer Creek Grateful Dead show. 30 years later, people I meet at shows tell me that they still remember her doing that.
We spent a little time on the mountain. We spent a little time on the hill. We saw things getting out of hand. I guess they always will
Useless trivia but somewhat relevant to today’s strip: Yesterday I learned the word “cockamamie” originated in 1930s slang and originally meant a fake/temporary tattoo. So Agnes’s latest money-making scheme is literally a cockamamie idea.
Giving temporary tattoos this way is actually a successful business in the real world. You find people doing those at the county fairs, Renaissance faires, and even theme parks.

First, I like Agnes’ “Skeems” box. Also, they just have to remember one sentence, “But it’s what you ASKED for!”.

There’s a trick to everything, I guess.

If they were doing PERMANENT tattoos, she would need a set of colored Sharpies.

Is Easyriders magazine still like it was? There was always an ad for a tattooing kit, $149.95 or some such. These two are about $148.95 short.
