Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 13, 2020

Canned spinach is a LOT worse than canned peas. Don’t ask how I know…

Popeye would disagree with you

Never been a fan of any canned veggie.

Canned food was borne out of necessity, I refer you to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n9prNixjbg

All I am saying is give peas a chance.

“My plan B is too many kids’ main meal.” Umm, what? This sentence doesn’t make sense.

Wonder if Spaetzle means his plan B includes eating too many kid sized meals. Also wonder if Frazz is feeding everyone at school that day and who will pay for it.

Or an even worse alternative, the dreaded “Chef’s Surprise.”

My parents gardened. Mom thought green beans had to be cooked until they looked like they came from the can. I would eat raw green beans on the drive home from the garden to avoid her cooked ones.

Number 10 cans

I just love peas. Spinach too.

When I lived in NY the school’s “pizza” was the worst I’d ever experienced, which was weird, given the number of Italians about. Moved to NC, and it was actually passable. Frozen, yes, but not French bread with pizza quick sauce and a slice of American cheese on top, like the NY pizza was.

Today’s strip demonstrates one of the many, varied reasons why I love “Frazz”. I love Dr. Spaetzle’s concern for his students, and I love how Frazz turned the situation into an opportunity to make the day special for everyone.

But, I do like peas. Frozen better than canned, any day, but they could blend the canned peas, add a bit of seasoning, and have a good pea soup, which would go well on a cold November day.

We’re having a downpour right now, February 8, ‘25, that will probably turn to sleet very shortly. I’m going to go home and have homemade chili!
