Mrs. Olsen: If you wouldn't fidget in your chair, it might not skid and make that toot noise!
Girl: I've never been so happy to get yelled at for the wrong thing.
Frazz: Mrs. Olsen's harshness can be her secret weapon of kindness.
In a field awash with four-panel-gag comics that occasionally give me a chuckle, “Frazz” is the only one that makes me think first. My usual reaction is “I don’t get… Ah, nice!”
I’ve missed that sort of gentle, erudite insight on the human condition since Walt Kelly passed.
This one was a charmer. I’ve been unwittingly following Frazz for several months (as it is next to my other favorites in my paper) always seeming to note the plays on words and deeper meanings that have prompted double takes more often than not.Mallett has a gift in divining the humorous from an all-too-familiar, universally-recognized setting (even removed by several decades). Thanks for this (and other) opportunities to ponder the genius that is Frazz. From a new fan.

I don’t know about SBD’s, but I could sure go for a BLT! Oh, shoot! Probably off topic again! What’s that commenter’s handle? Megonow.

after the blt, there will be an sbd, and then thunder and rotten eggs and sulfur from the mayonnaise

Mrs Olsen is smarter than she pretends to be.

You can try hard for a SBD, but it doesn’t always work – I know.

Mrs Olsen explained the noise, but what about the smell?

Except one time in high school, the kid behind me actually tooted loudly and tried to blame it on the chair. No one believed him
