Agnes and Trout are like Hamlet and Horatio. One is definitely smarter, but the other provides much-needed perspective.
Also re Agnes as Hamlet, I can just imagine the response if Grandma tried to get Agnes to wear some other clothes, in the hopes that it would cheer her up:
’Tis not alone my inky cloak, good grandmother,Nor customary suits of solemn black,Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,No, nor the fruitful river in the eye,Nor the dejected ‘havior of the visage,Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,That can denote me truly: these indeed seem,For they are actions that a girl might play:But I have that within which passeth show;These but the trappings and the suits of woe.

I love it when a comic has me LOL already in the middle panel, and even better when the finale does it again.
Ooh, I’ve got one! “Withstand the test of time? Our friendship is having trouble with the pop quiz of time.”

Love it - can’t tell if Trout is dumb or playing dumb (more like the latter)
