My Girl Agnes

Somewhere in a trailer park called "The People's Court," lives a bespectacled, round-nosed, floppy footed girl named Agnes. This nerd never lacks in whit and insight, sprinkling each conversation with a bit of cynicism as well as sarcasm. The other players in this small sideshow are her Grandma and her best friend - and fellow loser - Trout. My friend Caroline Bus introduced me to her years ago, and Agnes and I have had a lovely relationship every since. In my humble opinion, comics don't get much better than this.

is there some reason all this is in german? I can't find a way to change it.. oh well. I have never seen Agnes but there is a funny strip called "Get Fuzzy" It's about a guy with a dog and a cat. I love that one.

I don't know what kind of messed up computers they have in Iraq...what is in German? I usually don't care for comics all that much, but Agnes changed my mind.
