Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 14, 2014

The Beef is the meatiest part of Cow and Boy and 2 Cows and a Chicken, of course.

Small country schools I know have lean, mean, fighting machines. Those boys work on farms and develop muscle not fat like the city kids. They are overall healthier.

Me too. Pass some of Doc’s coffee to this person…

DOSQueen: Being in an 8,000 population county seat, I know whereof you speak. I saw them taking up two spaces on the courthouse benches, but they never came in my bookstore. Their subsidized allotment cotton crops were never even harvested, while the real, productive, farmers were run off their land for flooding so Dallas could have green lawns.

I love Frazz strips in general, but I really don’t understand why Jef, a triathlete, needs to constantly bash other sports. Why this holier-than-thou attitude?

Look, these kids are involved in physical activities instead of playing video games all day long. Instead of encouraging the players Jef makes fun of their appearance.

Seriously. Is Jef this shallow? Should other comic strips start bashing triathlon as well?

Agree with Big Puma. Love Caulfield but like him better when he’s a kid, not a scholar.

comicsssfan: Being the state religion in Texas, they are protected by the First Amendment (the free exercise part; the establishment clause is ignored if fundamentalist, as football is). Other sports may be tolerated, but not encouraged any more than math, history, science, etc. may be (correction, science may not be fully taught as it interferes with the doctrines of the established religions).
