Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 16, 2020

Chimpanzees prefer pull-ups to push-ups.

‘Hold meaningful conversation with Caulfield each day for 30 days.’ Now there’s a challenge.

In fairness, chimpanzees have a lower threshold for boring than people.

How about doing push-ups while somebody is dumping an ice bucket on you?

if you can get a chimp to actually DO pushups, yes, 100 would be easy …their strength compared to humans is enormous

30 days for 100 pushups? That’s an average of 3-1/3 pushups per day. No big deal, but what am I offered if I do it?

Ah! typewriters… I was always in awe of women (usually) who could make these things sound like machine guns and never used the white-out tape.

Today we do push. Tomorrow we do up (Paraphrased from Garfield – date unknown)

In high school I did over 100 push-ups a day, I’d be lucky to do 30 now.

I’m 75 and do two sets of 25 pushups every day before breakfast.

I can’t read “Frazz” three days in a row without getting bored and quitting.

I am the chimp; I would write a simpler workout regime, obviously. LOL

I wonder how many even know what Smith-Corona was.

Yep, chimpanzees have better things to do. Unlike body-obsessed humans.

Frazz16 hrs · Half the world by now has been quoted as saying the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. But anyone who understands the power of habit knows that that adage is highly contextual. Sometimes doing the same thing over and over again is the very best way to get results. How confusing.

We’ll let Charles Schulz straighten it out. “A cartoonist,” he said, “is someone who has to draw the same thing every day without repeating himself.”

That’s a cartoonist, all right. And anyone else who’s learning, training or otherwise improving.

I wonder how I’ll say that tomorrow.
