Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 30, 2018

So basically, a sliced-up snowman?

It looks like Caulfield didn’t even understand what he said.

What? Not snowballs?

This time Caulfield actually made me laugh. I wonder if Mr Spaetzle has a sense of humor.

I was student at Georgia Tech, class of ’62. Each of my four years brought one snowfall in Atlanta, and people would come from all over town to see the obscene snow statues.

Firing up teacher jets is a prized ability among sharp students. Lets students see who can take a joke, and brings lots of great laughs and memories at reunions.

So, not COMPLETELY anatomically correct.

I suppose you could make one that appears to be wearing pants.

Brilliant strip today! Love it!

Anatomically correct — real human eyes, real human nose, real human legs … Think Hannibal Lector’s Smörgåsbord.

I want to see Caulfield meet Calvin, with a pristine field of snow & a contest to make the best snowman.

If you don’t mind, I’m going to sit back and enjoy this one a while. I don’t know if it will be, in pop music terms, a hit or not. But I don’t care. What I do like is that it may be the closest I’ve gotten yet to encapsulating in one episode what I want Frazz to be as a whole. It’s not quite the Frazz Holy Grail — the intellectual fart joke — but we’re getting gratifyingly close.

Jef says that his holy grail is an intellectual fart joke. That reminds me of lunch during my first year at the USAF Academy, when a tablemate passed gas. He was directed to return at dinner with a 2 minute discussion of this activity. The result was a lecture entitled “History of the Rectal Zephyr,” and included segments on the audio range, time decay, cuisine, and Louis XIV era use of scented talcum powder. Close enough, Jef?
