    Very sly challenge. If they can manage this for three weeks, then (maybe) the behavior becomes a habit.

    I don’t think he likes it being her idea.

    There is a loop hole. She said “Do your homework on time.” She didn’t say “Turn your homework in on time.”

    He realizes he played his challenge once too often and she raised the ante. So, Caulfield, my lad, your play now is either to call, raise if you can, or fold.

    Mrs. Olson is a good teacher. Like Vince Lombardi, she knows that different people need different kinds of motivations, so she customizes her approach to each one.

    My money says: Caulfield still won’t have his homework on time, or even done before school is out!

    This comment is for N-G49 in reference to his comments to me on yesterday’s comic:

    You stated: “Then the basis for the humor in this strip isn’t working for you.”

    Yes, N-G49….. I would have to agree that Caulfield’s behavior in regards to his homework and more specifically many of his actions toward Mrs. Olsen do not work for me as humor. I tend to see his behavior as impolite and unkind to Mrs. Olsen.

    That said, there are MANY, MANY aspects of the Frazz Comic that I do think are wonderful, humorous and a delight. So, please do not take my criticisms of some of the specific Caulfield/Mrs. Olsen interactions as an indication of anything beyond those specific comics.

    Why do those interactions between Caulfield and Mrs. Olsen tend to rub me the wrong way? Perhaps it is because I am an educator myself. Perhaps I just have a general disdain for the sort of “one-upsmanship” type games that it feels to me Caulfield is attempting in these interactions. I am not really sure. All I do know is that to me, the specific interactions he often has with Mrs. Olsen seem on average more mean-spirited, and unkind than I would like to see in any character, let alone in the interaction between a student and teacher.

    Finally…. again, I generally relish this comic. I even generally like Caulfield’s character in MOST situations. It just seems that this particular interaction (Caulfield & Mrs. Olsen) too often feels mean instead of funny to me.

    He should have offered to swap his homework for her great big doughnut.

    He left her wide open to have the big donut with her coffee at any other time of the day though.

    It’s judo, right, where the premise to turn your opponent’s strength into a weakness? Pretty smart.

    But when you can turn your own weakness into a strength, now you’re onto something.

    A sugar addiction is tough enough on its own but maybe slightly easier than quitting cigarettes.
