Agnes by Tony Cochran for March 11, 2013

This is one of Agnes’ great talents….thinking up supremely unlikely disasters to fret about… or even to take extreme precautions to prevent.

I’m sure she has many 3-ring binders full of her drawings and scribbled musings on, say, fences she should build to protect herself from runaway rhinoceroses…and Russian phrases she might need if she picks up the phone and it’s Vladimir Putin.

But not tomorrow’s arithmetic homework.

what’d you say? hey, i don’t stutter, whisper or bite my tongue, your ears must flap.

what if she gets an ear cramp????????

The phrase “winking like a methed-up bar queen” is just one reason I love this strip!

Order the new workout video, Yoga for Eyelids; operators are standing by.

I’m wondering how Agnes is familiar with the winking techniques of “a method-up bar queen.”

So inappropriate. Where are these kids hanging out that the know what a “methed up bar queen” looks like? Seriously. I can be there in an hour.

There is something called blepharospasm which causes the eyelids to twitch or close. Sometimes it’s hard for people with this to keep their eyes open. So, can’t drive. They use botox injections to treat it.

darn. Others have taken my thoughts…. Oh! Would that be an Agnes ailment? Thought stealers? Oh definitely!!..

“I feel like quite the jerk”

You probably didn’t intend that pun….
