Agnes, you REALLY need better friends!!

A bud is forming ???? Throw it in the pipe and fire that sucker up !!!!

Trout loves pulling Agnes’s leg.

I’m still wondering if the thing won’t turn out to be Jimsonweed or Loco weed.

Lysenkoism fails again.

They’re both guilty of saying a bunch of questionable things, so I thought it was a competition. I’m not sure how you judge a winner though. Most? Least? Best? Closest to reality?

they’ve both been on this weed all week

Don’t give up Agnes.. even weeds have pretty flowers.

Now she will think twice about her project to turn lead into gold

Do I recall this strip takes place in Ohio? The state that recently legalized recreational cannabis? Until the GQP decides to ignore the will of the voters?

Actually, a biology experiment is not a failure just because it failed to get the results you were hoping for. It is a success if you learn something that you did not know before.

For example is in this case simply working physically on a weed will not change it into something else. You might change its offspring by use of CRISPR.

Consider the fact that alchemists used to try to figure out how to turn things into gold. They always failed because it would take a transformation of the nuclei to accomplish that. However they did learn a lot of chemistry.

Best Buddies.

agnes’s weed awoke one morning to find itself transformed into a marvelous orchid…
