Agnes by Tony Cochran for November 14, 2023

why do I see them riding the bike and using their legs to drag it forward ….

I can remember, as a child, my family getting those humungous Montgomery-Ward catalogues in the mail. My favorite sections were toys, art supplies, and children’s shoes, and was PO’d at the huge amount of space devoted to ladies’ fashions.

After last Friday’s strip, you can be sure that Granny Sour Lemon won’t let Agnes keep that thing.

Since I’m not a young girl, I have no idea who Wyatt and Billy were/are/am?

Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp… Wild, wild west outlaw and lawman.

Wyatt and Billy are the two main characters in the 1969 movie “Easy Rider”.

Santa brought an authentic Montgomery Ward’s mini-bike for my son when he was about 7. He rode that thing all over the farm for years. It wasn’t vintage then. (My son just turned 56).

A Flintstones minibike.

My parents got a lot of stuff from the Sears catalogs

I rebuilt and restored engines for vintage minibikes for a while. There seemed to be no limit on how much owners would pay. I didn’t overcharge, but getting original parts, and machine shop services was very expensive. $1000 for a five horse Tecumseh wasn’t uncommon. I’m sure a vintage Monkey Wards minibike would be very valuable.

More like Jimmy Cooper and Ace Face.

Old man Spattuti should have paid the girls to haul that thing off. ;-D

tweedle dee dee and twiddle dee dum – look out world HERE THEY COME! freedom of the road on a BIG HOG!

How do THEY know about Wyatt & Billy ?

for once it would be nice if she got something that worked. What happened to the money gma got from that electric guitar she got out of the trash that was worth a lot of $ ?

Yeah but, what wheely want in return?

Agnes’ grandma will destroy that thing.

that’s a really valuable piece of… scrap metal…

Montgomery Ward was the main force behind Chicago’s beautiful lakefront and lakefront parks. He worked to reserve the land for all the people and not allow buildings or train tracks along the lake. I don’t know much about the rest of his life, but in that respect, he was truly amazing.

Great drawing of a comic minibike!!!!!
