    What white stuff? They ran around in sandals and chiton with their arms bare, it might just be a hint that it is a hot country and most of them never saw snow in their lives.

    I guess Caulfield missed the word Allegory yesterday

    Frazz looks like he is reaching a point where Caulfield needs to keep a sharper eye on that broom.

    They knew it got colder when you went higher as long as you were still on earth. Above the sphere of earth is the sphere of air, and above that the sphere of fire.

    Not at all stupid. They thot it got warmer the closer you got to the Sun. And everyone knows that it gets hotter when the Sun is shining directly on you.

    Just like it wasn’t at all stupid to think that the Earth was flat, because it sure looked that way! (“But why do ships sink out of sight as they get farther away?” you might ask. Well, shoot, everything gets smaller and hazier the farther away it goes. Any fool can understand that! What? You think that perfectly flat water is round or something?)

    This may be the first time I’ve actually seen Caufield get on Frazz’s nerves.

    It’s pretty obvious…

    As you went up the mountain, you got further from Hades, so it got colder.

    But at some point, you began getting much closer to the Sun, so it started getting hotter again.

    This is Science 101, people!

    Everybody talks about the hazards of lying and how one lie just leads to another until you’re trapped in your own gooey web. But nobody warns you that trying to help can be just as fraught. Or maybe they do, and I don’t listen very well. I hear not listening very well can be perilous, too.

    This is the first time I find Caulfield’s need to argue about anything annoying, as well as Frazz’s tendency to indulge him. This kid knows what allegory is as well as the point of the tale.

    And it was Icarus’ father Daedalus who made the wings, who asked that his son fly neither too low nor too high, so the sea’s dampness would not clog his wings or the sun’s heat melt them. Is Caulfield next going to rant that the Greeks believed that the sea was wet?

    There was a tribe in the jungles at the base of Kilamanjaro whose chief became convinced the substance on the peak was silver, and sent a troupe of 30 huntsmen to gather some. Only one returned, badly frostbitten, who reported the silver was cursed, and melted away to water in their hands.

    Snow usually falls on Athens in Winter at least once, in fact, in the last 40 years even more than just one day.
