Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 20, 2017

You also need to allow some time for the caffeine to make it through the stomach, intestines and liver.

Might require more than one cup to reach maximum efficiency.

As a figure skater, I’m not “getting” that joke. Figure skaters start with a “waltz jump”, which is a half-revolution jump. Great for warming up for that “quadzoople” axel. LOL

Sorry kiddo.

That Mr, Spaetzle can’t function without coffee in no way implies that he can function with it.

I like that logic, though…. cos if it worked, I could fly!

It’s like saying that if I can’t fly without Cheerios…

I could fly with them….

And there’s also the unrelated idea of the sentient, auto-controlled coffee, that keeps itself from dribbling…

As though, if eating Cheerios allows me to fly,

the cereal would become self-aware, and could maybe keep me from crashing.

Or do my laundry.

It figures, Frazz is letting the kid skate.

Chocolate covered coffee beans is a good way to start. It doesn’t cause a problem if you spill them on your shirt or keyboard.

Frazz always encourages young imagination. The thought doesn’t have to be accurate or even possible in this world to be worthwhile. Harry Potter is a prime example.

Interesting!

I too found the kid’s reasoning to be specious. Assumptions like that can be dangerous. Ask any despot and he would say, “If you aren’t for me, you must be against me”. Then it’s off to the firing squad or some other means of quick and permanent dispatch. (The girl would make a good despot, that’s all I’m saying.)

This reminds me of a “Half Full” the other day.

A cup of coffee in a robe and bunny slippers, saying

I’m coffee, and I need more coffee!

Drinking coffee can be messy if one isn’t careful an are a bit of a mess. Better in a thermos you can open and drink from. But drinking and walking might be too difficult for some with a full cuppa.

I didn’t start drinking coffee until 2004 (when I went to Italy; no further explanation should be necessary), which means I never drank coffee when I worked in the capital bureau, which means I never got blamed for the long, linear coffee stain on the carpet going up the stairs to my workstation. Come to think of it, I was the only one in the office who didn’t drink coffee, and everyone climbed those stairs because that’s where the copy machine was. So it probably fell to me to do the blaming, and I’m only now getting around to it. Sorry about that.

Coffee cups aren’t the most stable things in the world, as, but for a very thin sweet spot, they are being balanced by people who either haven’t had enough coffee yet or have had too much. I just liked that the stain mostly went straight to the copy machine. Or from it. I enjoyed imagining aliens from space happening upon our stairs and logically deducing that the bureau was populated by a race of squids, and that there was something terribly startling that would pop out of the Xerox machine every now and then. If I may create an image for you without drawing a picture.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I prefer tea, very strong, in an IV bottle.

I drink cold tea these days. Got weened off coffee around 20 years old.

I always loved Roger Fox’s comment, facing the coffeepot first thing in the morning: “The old, ‘need a cup a coffee to make a cup of coffee paradox’”.
