Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 13, 2015

These kids are college cynics trapped in third-graders’ bodies.

Butterscotch, butterscotch, is good for your heart…

Please direct all of your comments to the acidfying oceans, dying coral reefs, and northern polar ice cap and glaciers which are melting at rapid rates.

The worst trend in “studies” is the increasing inability to understand correlation vs. causation. I read one recently that concluded that shopping makes one happy, because a correlation was found between the amount of money someone spent shopping and how happy that person said he was. It never occurred to the genius sociologists that having more money, which makes more shopping possible, makes people happy to begin with….

Butterscotch is my favorite flavoring. :) Peace.

Drop the Butter and just give me the Scotch

" What other color would their blood be?"

I suppose that if they had been genetically engineered with DNA from horseshoe crabs, it would be a nice blue-green color. (Horseshoe crab hemoglobin uses copper instead of iron, and so is blue rather than red.)

I pretty much just saw this strip as an updating of the “tobacco science” story. Remember when there was still a “controversy” about whether smoking caused cancer, and it turned out that 98% of the “scientists” who claimed tobacco was harmless were taking money (often quite indirectly) from the cigarette makers?

And in my attempt to emulate those people I only ask that you accept that I am the center of all creation (my observable universe) and in doing so you will be able to reach nirvana.For mine is the power and the glory of the delusion of my existence, AMEN!

From der Fürher’s naughty bits to butterscotch pudding – quite a swing Mallett. What will we get tomorrow, Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods?? Je suis Charlie
