Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 08, 2015

Hey, that’s MY thing!

I…uh…well…..hmmm…….think, think…..Nope I got nothin’..I guess I must be too tired.

Wow – the vocabulary on this kid!

still, not really a joke

Funniest comic strip I ever read.

Well, duh.

Yes, we state what goes without saying! And then add that it goes without saying!

Of course. He’s a Troll so just do what I do and skip over all his comments. Maybe he’ll just dry up and disappear under a rock.

Trees grow everywhere not just from the top, so not only pedantic but wrong. (Blows Raspberry!)

More like they grow from the core. The newest layers push out from each branch tip and each ring thickens & widens over time. So wherever a branch emerges from the trunk, it will still be at the same height 5, 50, or 500 years later.

Yes, they do. However, what you were reacting to was conversation or random musings, not statements of the obvious.

“there’s no verb form of pedantic.” Remember Calvin’s comment: “Verbing weirds language.”
