Agnes by Tony Cochran for November 03, 2020

I like Grandma.

Aw payday, the day I get to live like a human for a while.

Zumbarama is on the tube in 5 minutes, Agnes!That’ll get you to generate enough heat for your Ol’ Grandma, too!

Nuke the sweater, see what happens. Worst case, the trailer gets really warm, really quick.

It’s not cold in your home until the toilet starts icing over. Growing up my room was furthest from the wood stove which would run out of wood over night, so I got used to seeing my breath when I got up in the morning and getting dressed really quickly. Ironically I got sick less often that winter then I did the years we coukld afford oil for the furnace.

Then, it was off to school, walking 3 miles uphill both ways, right?

Interesting that Grandma has $$ to pay for a daily newspaper and, I suspect, cable TV, but not for heat and or food.

An apt cartoon for far too many Americans..

This is heart wrenching.

Life in the lower classes.

oh, this is so sad. those trailer homes dont have insulation or enough heat. at least she has buttons.
