Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 05, 2013

if you are bored, how about turning your front lawn into a vegetable garden. and, turning your backyard into a vineyard.

Yes. With your right arm in a cast. Let’s do this.

… wait, erm…

Every moment’s a day, every day seems a lifetime.

Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck!

Almost impossible that a young kid would know Iggy Pop lyrics, but then it’s needed for the joke.

Mrs. Olsen needs some “Lust for Life”.

Next she is going to smear some peanut butter on her stomach

Nobody else has, so I will.

With all due respect to Iggy Pop… I have never met a bored dog.

Did Joe Cocker or did Engelburt Humperdinck?

as if an 8 year old knows Iggy Pop..

C’mon, Mrs. O—you’re not that much older than I am…

A little man stands in the forest, very quiet and silentand has a cloak of sheer purple.

Tell me, who can be the little manthat there is in the forest alonewith the purple cloak.

@bigpuma: Uhm, in “Frazz” the kids are under the influence of Frazz, at least….

And there’s at least one German dreamy folk/pop song sung a few years later by the same interpreter (Ina Deter) as a hard rock song. I could very well imagine the fakeHumperdinck sing I’m Bored Spanish-Eyes-style.

[Of course, to me Engelbert Humperdinck is a 19th-century German Romantic (opera) composer, best known for Hänsel und Gretel. Mrs. Olsen wouldn’t confuse him with Iggy Pop – but then she probably only knows the pop singer who was so unimportant that he had to assume Humperdinck’s name to become famous.]

These kids are all cultural geniuses…it gets a bit tiresome.

Those are some skinny legs!
