Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 21, 2018

They must have heard about what the administration is proposing to do with the Endangered Species Act.

Wow, I always thought the lyrics were “Said lawyers guns and money can’t get me out of this”.

(I’m hiding in Honduras)? / I’m a desperate man / Send lawyers, guns, and money / The shit has hit the fan.

Let Warren Zevon settle it….

But if I were on a beautiful trail like that, seeing wildlife and enjoying my surroundings,

I, too, would prefer listening to the ambient sounds.

Well, it’s not like Warren Zevon is the only option. You can switch to classical music or something. But why would even do that on a nature trail?

The “Hey!” was a nice touch.

Usually, when I walk on the streets of my neighborhood, walkers/runners speak or smile or wave. In the gym, walkers use headphones and can’t seem to see a wave or hear a ‘hello.’ Some listen to their own music or an audio book, both of which seem to cancel interaction with others. In my opinion that’s a loss and makes gym walking less interesting.

Any time my day can start with Warren Zevon, it’s a good day.

Had never heard that song. Country rock I guess? Cute strip today, could not possibly lead to any type of controversy or difference of opinion…

I ain’t havin’ no bitty Budweisers in MY ears!

Nice. I greatly enjoy your subtle references to Zevon.

I prefer old Sennheiser over the ear foam headphones, they don’t press on yours ears and head so much and unless you turn it up to 11 you can still hear what’s happening around you.

““Now I’m hiding in Honduras / I’m a desperate man / Send lawyers, guns, and money / The s**t has hit the fan” (the uncensored version from the LP)

Bless you Jef Mallett, that little snippet from the late great Warren Zevon just made my day

Has this strip ever featured the lyrics of the song that reportedly made Frazz rich …?

I rode a bike on the street for years. I would never stick something in my ears that might keep me from hearing what’s coming up behind me!

I listen to audiobooks while doing aerobics at the gym, but when I’m doing anything outside, I never use them.
