Agnes by Tony Cochran for February 05, 2022

The princi-pal is not your friend

Principally at your wit’s end

She’s not a poet and doesn’t know it.

This strip reminds me a bit of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, where Willie Olsen was always standing in the corner at school.

my brain long ago turned to mush

now, what else rhymes with mush besides tush…?

Even poets need math, Agnes. To total up their sales, if nothing else.

Homework not a principal problem. Especially on Saturday.

But she continues to use math concepts like “credit” and “first” so all is not lost. Harvard is probably out but she will fit right in with American’s Gen Z

Math be handy. Math be good,

If only Agnes math understood.
