Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 01, 2016

If it’s “down here” it was instigated “up here” in response to the brain’s acknowledgement of certain stimuli. I get it though, Frazz. You’re asking if he’s thinking of habitual comfort eating or is he maybe in real need of nutrition. A silly question, because he’s probably going to have a doughnut whatever the answer.

It’s “feed a cold, feed a fever, feed a broken leg, just BACON everything . . .”

Up here is just as hard to resist.

Okay, Catty. You got your superiority fix for the day. Knowing the answer doesn’t mean Frazz won’t give one with more positive results.

@bigpuma, you know, if you don’t like the strip, no one’s forcing you to read it.

Awright!!! Who left the door open!!!

Actually, it’s “Starve a cold and you’ll die of fever.” The idea being that you should make sure you stay well nourished when sick.

Why do you read the strip if you hate it so much?

bigpuma seems to have spent a lot of work to rationalize being offended by this strip.

Frazz has obviously had experience with it himself and others he has observed. I am sure it is an exaggeration that Frazz “knows it all”. We just get what he knows himself in the areas he has knowledge. I tend to not comment on things I know nothing about unless I have a question. Maybe he does too.

It’s “feed a cold”, b/c the stuffy nose means food is unappetizing, and the sore throat means you don’t want to eat anything. And “starve a fever” b/c you need to be drinking more fluids.

It’s feed a cold, starve a fever. It’s also bogus:
