Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 06, 2020

If you are going to do something, do it right!

I agree with Frazz.

Up next, the dogapult. Let’s not draw that one.

A really Chaise Longue way to go…

This is how you make pot high instead of the other way around.

Nope. Too many ways this can (and therefore will) go wrong!

Okay, I’ll admit it.I hit the dictionary since I had never heard of longue.Even spell check flags it.I learned something new tonite.

It’s not only a trebuchaise, it’s also a catapot.

Very funny. But lots of work for just one shot.

A trebuchet is a catapult but a catapult is not necessarily a trebuchet.

Saturday Night Live had a skit promoting a catapult (I believe they called it a lawnapult) that could be used to dispose of household garbage, or any unwanted items – broken furniture, dead pets, etc.

Looks like he has been hanging out with Dill’s brothers on Cul De Sac :))

very good word play on trebuchet and chaise lounge. Caulfield is practicing his vocabulary skills.

Mallet’s been hanging with Pastis again …

It would have been even better if he had gone off the ladder with a tray underneath him. It would have been a “traybuchaise” then.

And there must be a way to work “bouquet” in there somewhere, but I don’t see room for it.

Actually, this IS something my friends and I would have tried back in the day! Young and dumb! But it would have been fun! Today, the mere thought of this would have the masses calling CYS. Don’t forget to bring the bubblewrap. My generation was encouraged to try things. You get hurt, you get hurt. You’ll heal. Not today. Today they have the choppers and ambulances on standby and frantic moms going ballistic. Thank God I grew up when I did – the 70s were glorious! Awesome memories! We never stopped. What does the word “bored” mean, anyway?

As a child during the 60s, this would have been interesting. Flying pot, broken “lawn chair,” worn out butt from Dad, then working to replace the lawn chair. At least we would know exactly why not to do this again.

Well, Jef, not as long a way as misspelling “lounge” to make it work………..

A very interesting interview:

Still better than Pasty. Pastis. Darn Otto Connect.

Call it a fling…

The first panel is missing; it makes much more sense with it.

A groaning worthy delight!

First panel: Girl remarks to Wilson "Honestly! Who cares if everybody mispronounces chaise-longue? Wilson, on chaise replies: “Exactly my point. It’s so refreshing to see that many people bungle something that doesn’t matter.”

Shouldn’t it be “a longue way to go to chaise a word gag?”

I wonder whether that pot of Petunias might by chance change into a sperm whale.

Boo! :D

“Trebut-chaise lounge”. Only works if you pronounce “chaise” as “chay” rather than “chase”. So, “longue” way indeed (unless you pronounce it like “tongue” with an “l”).

My wife beamed at me with pride and said “Wow! I never thought our son would go that far!” I said “This trebuchet is amazing! Go get our daughter.”

What do you call a catapult with a silencer?

A Trebu-ssshhhh!

Oh merde!

SO cleverly drawn!
