Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 12, 2020

Today’s Nancy, fourth panel and general theme.

He is forgetful, should maybe see someone who can help.

Spaetzle is panicking because he knows that Frazz’s lunch must be healthy.

Left wallet at home and lunch on car top. BUT, he had his coffee cup. Not all bad.

Put your chow in a backpack.

I’m always making the wrong mistake, not the correct one!

I’ve never been able to figure out how other people keep track of their cell phones. Where do you put it when you’re not using it? (Clearly this does not apply to teenagers, who never have a moment when they’re NOT using it.)

I worked with a guy who may have forgotten his wallet, or his lunch, but he drank SO much coffee that in one hand he had his cup and the other the pot pretty much all the time. He was remarkablely calm all the time.

Frazz13 hrs · “Never make the same mistake twice.” When Gus Fring offered that advice to Walter White in the latter stages of Breaking Bad, I took notice. Now, that is a good policy, I thought. In retrospect, of course I was drawn to it. I’m the kind of guy who makes an awful lot of mistakes once.

And it meshes nicely with similar advice that I got during that Scrooge McDuck vault of good advice that is Flight Training, and that is, “Nobody ever crashed from the first thing that went wrong.” Things snowball, and bad things snowball most freely while all your attention is focused on where the snowball started rolling.

So never make the same mistake twice, but never, ever make one mistake without anticipating the next one.

Don’t make the same mistakes, means you are going no where. Learning nothing.

What you want is to graduate to a new level of mistakes in a higher echelon. That shows progress.
