Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 19, 2015

What’s stranger, that Caulfield didn’t read the book or that he know so much about scotch whiskey?

I like puns and allusions,but I’m not sure Frazz’s line is cracker-worthy. Still, I’m impressed, like Bilan, that Caulfield .knows enough to reference a scotch that’s an 18-year old. Maybe Mallett is a connoisseur. I know I treasure my 18-year old Macallan.

Glenfiddget? Valley of the Squirms?

OK, I like wine, but I think cheese is just really old rotten milk

Definitely no Glenfiddget out there – probably a copyright issue. There’s some excellent 18 year old Glenfiddich that has turned up just in time for Christmas.

Caulfield needs to deliver that book report like it was Beaujolais nouveau.

Let it age. One grade-point drop per day should help it mature nicely. Go State!

bigpuma, yeah I wonder….And why did he start doing it in the first place? I don’t eat cheese, so I can drink whole milk, (4%) and real butter,a lot of it on popcorn, corn on the cob, baked potato, ……..I don’t even know why I don’t like cheese….But it works for me

Caulfield has the habit (fun for the comics, obnoxious anywhere else) of taking one person’s statement, re-wording it, then relating it to another person completely out of context, thus gaining the other person’s sympathy. If he had told Frazz, “Mrs. Olsen wants me to turn in my book report on time,” Frazz’s reaction would be, “Well, that’s what you’re supposed to do.”
