Tony Cochran’s Agnes is a whimsical look at childhood through the eyes of the title character and her best friend, Trout. What sets this strip apart is the focus on that limbo just before little girls discover boys and appropriate social skills.

Little does Agnes realize that grandma is making fun of her rhino size honker of a nose.

Anyway you look at it, it’s a fashion statement.

My wife might love it, she loves Rhinos and all African Animals
Tacky as it is, she would find a way to look good in it

Huh, SHE should talk!
She looks like she lives on a diet of lemons and dill pickles!

If Agnes wears that dress to school, it’s off to the principal’s office!
If you remember, last year she was sent there on the very first day.

How can the principal not like rhinos? Tthey’re so delicate, so whimsical, so rhino-ish.

Poor Agnes. If ever there was an argument for school uniforms, that dress is it!

I have seen family members make fun of each other, including such gems as
“Roy looks like a VW beetle with the doors open.” (big ears, shaved head)
“David was so homely as a child we had to tie a pork chop around his neck to get the dog to play with him.)
“You should be able to hear well.” (ear swollen to 3 times normal size after bee sting)

Nonetheless, I don’t think the Grandmother is making fun of her looks this time but rather trying to make her feel b
better about what she’s stuck with.

MAKING THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION
By: Dick Feller
-
Now, I know a man
He’s a hard workin’ man
He gets up real early, and he goes down town
And about fifteen minutes after he’s been gone
There’s a big milk truck pulls up on the lawn
And that milkman rushes up to the door
Where that man’s wife is waitin’ in a kimona
And she plants a big ol’ kiss on his cheek and they go inside
And that truck never moves for an hour or two
Well it’s none of my business
One day I called him aside and told him what was goin’ on
While he was gone
And he said, “Well I guess that’s so, but do you know
We’re never outta’ milk or cottage cheese or yogurt, ice cream, or none of them other cowy things”
-
I guess he’s makin’ the best of a bad situation
Don’t wanta make waves, can’t you see
He’s just makin’ the best of a bad situation
Reckon I’d do the same if it was me
-
Now I know a man, he’s an educated man, he’s an alligator wrestler
He jumps right in there and grabs them long green boogers by whatever you
Grab them long green boogers by…
Well, one day he’s got a full Nelson on this big alligator
When this other alligator sneaks up and bites his right ear plumb off…
Didn’t bat an eye just crawled off in the shade and went to sleep
The alligator not the man
Well, it’s none of my business
One day I said, “Well, it’s sure too bad about that little accident that you had
‘Cause now your hat’s gonna fall down over your eyes
And you can’t ever be gypsy ‘cause you don’t have no place to wear a gold earring”
He just looked me right straight in the eye and said, “Huh?”
-
I guess he’s makin’ the best of a bad situation
Don’t wanna make waves, can’t you see
He’s just makin’ the best of a bad situation
Reckon I’d do the same if it was me
-
Now I know a lady, she’s a mighty fine lady
Got a heart of gold, she wouldn’t harm a fly
She’s just tryin’ to get by and keep her house in order
But you know that her husband, he worked so hard that he come unglued
He come unwrapped, he just snapped, thinks he’s a chicken…
That’s right, one of them cackling Colonel Sanders’ types
He roosts in the bush by the side of the house
Well it’s none of my business but one day I said
“Have you ever thought about findin’ him a doctor who could make him well”
And she said “Well, I have now and then, but then again
He don’t eat much just chickenfeed and all that peckin’ in the ground don’t hurt nothin’…
Heaven knows, we can use the eggs”
-
I guess she’s makin’ the best of a bad situation
Don’t wanna make waves, can’t you see
She’s just makin’ the best of a bad situation
Reckon I’d do the same if it was me
-
We’re all just makin’ the best of a bad situation
We’re all in this together you and me

I could be wrong, but my take on this one is that it’s not a real dress….it’s a nightie.

He might like rhinos, but Agnes’ TEACHER might not!
After all, she’s the one who always sends Agnes to the principal’s office.
