Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

Look to see B.O. Plenty run around in the backyardChased by Lilā Attitude, child rearing work is hard.It sounds unkind but never mind, his face could stop a clockA visitor comes calling, Aggieās in for quite a shock.The taxi didnāt stick around at Acres of Sunny DellGertieās making supper, as any fool can smell.Vegetables and Attitude simply do not get alongGertieās chopping turnips and the kidās just too headstrong.He nearly runs down Aggie as he takes another lapShould B.O. chase him long enough this shall end in a nap.Iād run too if I were you, and smelt Turnip SurpriseI ate some from the big pot once, it made my bile rise.Donāt blame the kid for taking flight from Gertieās dinner tableAll whoāve ever had this dish run as fast as they are able.
So, āturnip surpriseā is a threatening dish. I wonder if Agate Aggie is going to stay for dinner. I suspect that sheās had turnip surprise before. I imagine it to be an old family recipe, even if the little terror doesnāt like vegetables.
For those who were impatient to get a long list of āloose endsā tied up, you can cross one more off your list ā Agate Aggie has finally found time to go visit her sister and the rest of that family.
Morning, Gweedo! Yeah, I see you do lots of postsā¦ā¦I canāt spare the time to scan my favs and make posts more than once a day, so I often donāt even have a chance to respond to the ones who respond to me. In light of that, I was still surprised how many posts Iāve made.Cheers,Blune.
Trying to remember how many of B.O.ās family we were introduced to over the years. <Maybe itās time for Gertieās! (Loved the recent strip where SHE said told life story with all HER siblings included!)
PQ, when the story starts getting slack, your Sunday recap does the trick! Thanks from most ALL of us! The guy under the bridge snoring doesnāt count, though!
Agate Aggie is sticking around town, what with the theatre in disarray and a cast member jailed. She didnāt stop by for the food, if sheās familiar with Gertieās cooking. Blissfully ignorant of the Nitratesā designs on her nest egg, this seems to be her first meeting with Lilā Attitude. She may want to put those glasses back on, especially if theyāre rose colored. The hospital staff saw more than enough of Lilā Attitude in the delivery room.
Thanks to Tarry Plaguer, Night-Gaunt49, Gweedo, Neil Wick, cpalmeresq, Willy007, Bob, Morrow, davidf42, Starman1948 and mzkdad for the kind words (and picture). Very much appreciated!

Just a nice, quiet family get together! Oh and it seems like the taxi sign in the 2nd panel is drawn in an incorrect angle. Just saying.

A rainy day, Gweedo. Perfect for my nightly stroll in the cemetery! I wonāt be alone!

Thatās where I met Rikki, Gweedo! She was strolling with Abner. They were searching for spiders.

Hold the presses! When did āAgate Aggieā become āAgate Annieā!? Youāre falling down on the nitpicking job, avenger09!

Look to see B.O. Plenty run around in the backyard
Chased by Lilā Attitude, child rearing work is hard.
It sounds unkind but never mind, his face could stop a clock
A visitor comes calling, Aggieās in for quite a shock.
The taxi didnāt stick around at Acres of Sunny Dell
Gertieās making supper, as any fool can smell.
Vegetables and Attitude simply do not get along
Gertieās chopping turnips and the kidās just too headstrong.
He nearly runs down Aggie as he takes another lap
Should B.O. chase him long enough this shall end in a nap.
Iād run too if I were you, and smelt Turnip Surprise
I ate some from the big pot once, it made my bile rise.
Donāt blame the kid for taking flight from Gertieās dinner table
All whoāve ever had this dish run as fast as they are able.
