Frazz: I know we remember all our fallen soldiers today. But mostly I'm remembering the WWI guys with trench foot. Miss Plainwell: And it was so nice Saturday.
Ok, this showed up last week in a biking episode:what is it that looks like the guy with Frazz has a big Band-Aid over his mouth? He can obviously talk, but if itās part of his helmet, why is it "flesh"colored?
Until recent years, my concept of a āgoateeā was a narrow, pointy beard below the chin, much like that of a goat, with or without a mustache. (A quick Google search confirms this.) Then men began to shave a thin circle all around their lips and chin, with nothing below to speak of, and called that a āgoatee.ā In this strip, Burke has one. Looks as if Clutchās is thinner than Burkeās.
And not lets forget the āNam vets also.They served in a unpopular āwarā.My friend just lost both his legs because of Agent Orange or what the doctors said was a "foreign substanceā in his blood.Iām a peacetime Vet myself.Navy Seabee.
And letās remember those who came home in one piece physically but damaged mentally and emotionally. A lot of them live on the streets.
Andāletās especially remember those who deserve benefits and have been waiting for three years for the VA to process their paperwork. Jon Stewart has been keeping that story alive when others havenāt.

Also several WWI units in Europe were Bicycle-mounted.
As fast as Horse Calvary but they didnāt need to be fed!

Actually it turns out fungi like it cool:
āHeels and toes may host such hearty fungal gardens because feet are cooler than other body parts, and fungi donāt like it hot.ā

@packratmac@comics for funI had the same question, and reached the same (tentative) conclusion. It would help if he appeared to have lips.

If you look a early Doonesbury strips, Trudeau tended to draw his characters without mouths at all unless they were speaking. Never understood that.
