February 21, 2023: Power Outage

March 21, 2023February 21, 2023 by Pyra Draculea
Frank is smiling and he says, "Ah, isn't this nice... everyone gathered around the fire..." We now see that Frank is sitting on the ground facing the fireplace. Next to him sit Ursula and Noah, looking miserable. On the sofa, Ruth is sulking and holding baby Valerie and Agnes is scowling at Frank as he says, "Reminds me of being a kid on the ol' farm." Ursula then looks at Noah and says, "Daddy, I wanna watch cartoons." Noah replies, "I know, honey, but you have to wait til the power's back on." Ruth then says, "I bet it was the neighbors' tree that fell..." Agnes replies, "I knew I should have had it chopped down when they were in Arizona last year."

  Agnes‘ neighbors all have security cameras aimed at their trees when they go out of town.

February 9, 2023: Data Breach

February 25, 2023February 9, 2023 by Pyra Draculea
Agnes and Ruth are drinking coffee at the kitchen table. Noah comes in scowling and looking at his phone. He then growls and tells Ruth, "Ruth! The accounta got hacked and our data was breached!" Shocked, Ruth turns around and yells, "What?!" while Agnes scowls and snaps at Noah, "What kind of idiot accountant do you have?" to which Noah retorts, "The one you told me to use, Agnes."

  Poor Noah… Guess what crap the cartoonist was dealing with this week? Ugh…

January 25, 2023: The Cheater

January 28, 2023January 25, 2023 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula walks into her grandparents' kitchen. Grandma Agnes smiles and says, "Three days in a row, huh?" Ursula scowls and explains, "Daddy's still on a diet." Agnes replies, "Ah, OK." Grandpa Frank smiles and says, "Thorsen still hasn't figured out he can just cheat, huh?" This sets off Agnes, who scowls and asks, "What's that supposed to mean, Frank?" Frank glares and answers, "Nothing, dear." Agnes won't let up and asks, "You're not cheating on your diet, are you?" Annoyed, Frank snarls, "No, dear. I love kale and wheatgrass." He then smiles and turns to Ursula, saying, "Hey, Ursula, how about you and me go visit your Uncle Norm's horses?" Ursula is thrilled and grins saying, "OK!" Frank then smirks and thinks, "and we'll grab a burger on the way there."

  Frank has had decades of practice circumventing Agnes‘ annual New Year’s diet.

December 30, 2022: New Year’s Resolutions

December 29, 2022December 30, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula and Noah are sitting on the living room rug, still building Lego, while Ruth and Agnes are sitting on the sofa behind them. Ruth is knitting and Agnes is holding baby Valerie. Ruth asks Agnes, "Any New Year's resolutions, Mom?" Agnes replies, "Yes, Frank needs to exercise more." Agnes then grins and looks at Noah and asks Ruth, "What resolutions are you assigning yours?" And Noah frowns in response. Ruth has a nervous grin, laughs, and replies, "Well... I think Noah ought to read more books." Furious, Noah retorts, "I prefer audiobooks. Y'know, while I'm busy doing all the work around the house? I listen to 3 books a week." Ursula then pipes up, grinning, "Wait, did you just say you can listen to books instead of read them?" Confused, Noah answers, "Yes?" Ursula then asks, "Why didn't you tell me that was an option?!?"

  Hmm… they have audiobook versions of Garfield anthologies? Anyway, wonder if Frank knows he’ll be exercising more in 2023…

December 24, 2022: Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2022December 24, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula is kneeling on the floor next to Grandma Agnes' Christmas tree while baby Valerie plays with the discarded wrapping paper from the opened presents and Agnes sits in a chair drinking cocoa. Ursula asks Agnes, "Grandma, how come Santa's tags have your writing on them?" Agnes concocts some BS answer: "Well, Santa's very busy with delivering presents so he doesn't have time to fill out all the tags." Ursula next asks, "Why don't the elves write the tags?" and Agnes tells her "Elves can't read and write, dear." Ursula counters, "That's not what Granny Thorsen says."

  Merry Christmas, all!

December 17, 2022: Agnes Returns

December 19, 2022December 17, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Agnes stands next to her suitcase, arms open to Ursula running towards her. Ursula says to her, "Grandma! Thank God you're back from Mexico! They made me do chores and learn Danish and row!" Grandma Agnes smiles and replies, "Oh, how fun! Did you row all the way to England?" Ursula groans, "Ugh... no!" and Agnes replies, "That's OK. You'll get there."

  Not quite the response Ursula was hoping to get out of Grandma Agnes.

November 29, 2022: Spice Girls Shopping

December 19, 2022November 29, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Grandma Agnes has brought Ursula to the antiques mall to shop for Ruth. Grandma Agnes says, "OK, keep your eyes peeled for something your mommy would like for Christmas." Ursula immediately points to a boxed set of five Spice Girls on Tour dolls and says, "Is that a set of Spice Girls dolls?" Surprised, Agnes says, "Huh? Oh, yes. It is." Ursula replies, "Cool, our work here is done. Now for that pizza and ice cream you promised."

  Trust Ursula to find the quickest route to finishing up her Christmas shopping.

November 28, 2022: Santa Agnes

December 19, 2022November 28, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is decorating a large Christmas tree in the living room while Grandma Agnes talks to Ursula and asks, " So what do you want from Santa, Ursula?" Ursula responds with her wish list, "I want a bunch of those Foodie Mini Brands balls, and the Lego Goat Boat set and the Lego tiger, and a rock tumbler and a candy chemistry set and..." Grandma Agnes interrupts her to ask, "Don't you want any Barbies?" Ursula replies, "Naw, I'm kinda over Barbie. Plus Mommy keeps insisting I shouldn't play with them because they'll be worth money someday." Furious, Grandma Agnes growls and says, "Your mommy needs to get her own Barbies!" and Ursula tells her, "She does have her own. She keeps them locked away from me... and from Daddy and his GI Joe dolls." Incensed, Noah interrupts his tree-decorating to say, "Hey! They're not dolls, they're action figures!"

  Well, one supposes the 12″ GI Joes do see a lot of action with Barbie… also, we can tell what Grandma Agnes bought Ursula for Christmas.

November 26, 2022: Inflatables

December 7, 2022November 26, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah and Frank are digging out the big box of Christmas lights. Agnes has her coat on and says to Frank, "OK, we're going antiquing. Make sure you keep things tasteful with the lights." Frank replies, "Yes, dear" while Noah grins slyly and says nothing. Once Agnes has left, Frank turns to Noah and says, "Alright, the wives are gone. Go get the giant tacky inflatables." Noah smiles and says, "On it!"

  You just know that as soon as Agnes returns and is annoyed, Frank is going to try to say the inflatables were Noah’s idea.

Ruth and Agnes are drinking coffee at Agnes' kitchen table. In the background we see Noah and Frank sitting on the antique sofa, sleeping. Ursula comes up to Ruth and Agnes and points at her dad and granddad and says, "OK, they're asleep. Now can we order pizza?"

  Noah and Frank are in food comas and Ursula wants pizza… again… happy Thanksgiving!
