Agnes by Tony Cochran for April 12, 2024

Agnes, you’d better be careful you don’t trip over your robe with your big feet!

Would she be like Mrs Cake I wonder.

Off topic here, but a midget fortune teller escaped from prison. The headline in the newspaper read: “Small medium at large”. Hahaha!

Look for the double-wides, Agnes.

In post-Reagan America, a child’s Zip Code is very predictive of their life course.

Etymology lesson for the day:

Originally, the “cakewalk” was the final dance at African-American social functions, and it was judged; the best couple “took the cake” (yes, the prize was a cake). Thus to use “cakewalk” to denote something easy is a corruption of the meaning. And yes, “That really takes the cake” also comes from that custom, though now it is almost always used ironically.

Agnes can keep her crystal ball. Trout prefers gumballs. :)

Notice how Agnes’ feet still stick out from beneath her “medium” robe? Poor girl…

I’d swear it looks like a bridal gown in the last frame. :)

agnes should visit japan. we’re overloaded with gullible folks who are apparently overloaded with cash, eager as they seem to be to give their money to charlatans. every day, we’ve got stories in the news about clueless sorts wiring funds (lots and lots of funds) to people they’ve never met except online. come on down, agnes…
