Agnes by Tony Cochran for June 11, 2021

I thought Agnes and Trout had used a food dehydrator before

If I remember right they were going to practice taxidermy on some dead thing that they found

Funny that Trout says it’s Russian…

I don’t know whether she can actually recognise the language on the label, or it’s just another kid fantasy.

But at first glance I thought it was some sort of samovar.

By the way… thanks, everybody for the greetings yesterday.

I haven’t actually been away… just keeping different hours and not commenting as often, or on as any strips..

But I’m working on getting back here more, since Agnes is one of my favorite strips….

and I miss you guys too!

Yes, Russians have phones. And computers. :-0

American paper towels are a hot item on the black market in Russia.

How soon before one of them realizes, “Hey – it’s a beef jerky maker! Let’s make some {who knows what} jerky!”“How do you do that?”“I suppose you just stick the animal in, and cut it into jerky-size strips later”

A re-hydrator is a good idea too.
