Agnes by Tony Cochran for August 16, 2013

Agnes is a BIG picture person.

After she’s rich, she’ll have minions to do all the thinking about silly things like that.

Then she can just ask THEM what she invented.

well, Agnes did work herself into a bit of a frenzy, what with arms flailing and sweat shooting off in all directions. Can’t blame her for being addled.

Trout always spoils stuff by asking down to earth questions.

Somebody in our area did just that. Two guys invented a new way to serve up an old favorite-grilled cheese sandwiches. Then the guys went on a tv show to get somebody to invest in their sandwich idea. Their goal is to have at least 60 franchises within a few years. It is still possible in America to do what Agnes is dreaming about. I love this country!

…to quote from one of th Miles Vorkosigan books, “Always aim high – that way, if you miss, at least you won’t shoot yourself in the foot..”

I can see your mouth in the second panel Agnes!

Yesterday art – today food (if she remembers). I think she got caught up in the buzzillion quadrillionaire.

Who doesn’t dream of being wealthy now and then?

" Take a look at how many vacation days your heroes Ronnie Raygunnz and Dubya took during their time in orifice! What is it with you know-nothing right-wingers?"-What is it with these people who don’t want a ray gun?I want a phasera blastera needlera laser pistol (of course)a plasma projector (who wouldn’t?)a stunnera disintegratorand a place to keep it all

Agnes hasn’t touched earth in years, at least not THIS earth, no telling how many imaginary planets she’s visited
