Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 24, 2016
Transcript:
Jobs and hobbies Miss Plainwell: Please welcome Dr. Wright. He's a luthier. Pink shirt girl: I think I'm an episcopal. Yellow shirt boy: What do they make guitars out of? Frazz: Usually wood. All kinds of wood. Though some-say, a dobro- can be metal. Brain may, one of the greatest, made his from an ancient fireplace mantel and an old table. Yellow Shirt boy: Wow! What was your first guitar made out of? I mean real guitar, Frazz. Frazz: Oh, it was real enough for me.

The other children are smiling in anticipation. Something that does not happen most days but not because the teacher/subject is not interesting. Just that after the first week, everything seems to fall into the same old same old.Teachers generally are an enthusiastic lot and seem to be better able to maintain in the the first three grades.

I don’t have kids, but I snuck in to a class assembly in Malibu years ago when Jane Goodall was speaking. What a treat!

I wish he had made the young Frazz look like Calvin.

There is a quite high end luthier in our tiny town. Way out of my wife’s price range.

My brother built the most beautiful custom guitars for years. I was and am in awe, and I wish he were still doing it.

I think that may be a reference to Dr. Thomas Wright.

Frazz is a lefty. He’s playing his “guitar” here as a right-hander. Does he do that elsewhere in the strip, or was this a goof?

I remember at least one other strip where he played his guitar right-handed.
