Today’s comic comes from Agnes, a strip from Tony Cochrane about a poor girl who lives with her “Granma”. I’ve never really “gotten” the strip, and I’m not sure I “get” the point of this one, either. It does seem to rely on the standard, exaggerated fears of the shod, though.
It appeared on June 19, 2006.
I’ve had people say worse to me and be totally serious. Once someone said “Well someone with AIDs could cut their foot and then you could cut your foot and stand on one of the spots of blood they left on the floor!” My response was A) That is really insane. And B) What if they cut their hand and then touch a doorknob? And then you touch the same knob on your way to lunch?
