   And a different Jack Murphy was the first to do a triple somersault, and the only one to do a quadruple somersault, while with the Omaha Twisters, a Major League Human Cannonball team.

   I thought after yesterday’s strip that there would be resolution (albeit NOT favourable to Agnes) today — that her grandmum would have called and said “put Lester to sleep”.

   He must be one tough dog to have survived that much neglect.

   This entire story arc has been rocky from the get-go, but I kept hoping it would improve or at least show a point. Considering all the comics recently giving a nod to the need for proper animal care and the over-burdened shelters needing good homes for their animals. This is not remotely funny, and Agnes has never seemed less like a ‘little girl’ or more like a self-centered miniature adult of the sort that makes me want to knock heads together. I’m done with this strip.

   How could the principal send e-mails for Agnes to delete when she doesn’t even own a computer???
   I doubt that he sends them via the public library’s computer.

   Why is Jack Murphy leaving his own name and not that of the vet?

   No excuses that will fly Agnes. We know that you and Granny don’t have two spare quarters to rub together, let alone $3200. Maybe an advertising deal for Lester?

   Agnes is lying. Everyone lies. Ask Dr. House.

   @Slywlf

   For the most part, I agree with your sentiments. This is showing a darker side of Agnes that we are not accustomed to seeing. Not willing to give up the strip though, as generally this is a funny strip.

    He said “messages” not emails. You don’t need a computer to receive anything from a hand written note to telephone voice-mail.

    I knew it……..boarding fees would get her. Why would she give her pricipals name? Also why didn’t the principle tell her as she seems to usually be in his office quite often.
    Her love of her pet really shows….NOT.

    LOL! … about the auto-deleting messages that are from your principal. We all know what Agnes’ relationship with her principal is like.

    Nice that she says “OMG” aloud.

    Our Vet bears a certain fatherly resemblance to Bob, the kid that’s always being spurned by Agnes.. Hmmmmm.
