Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 10, 2021

But the IDEA of a man can step into the same IDEA of a river, right?

Greek philosophy doesn’t stop personal injury lawsuits.

Whup! Almost understood that one. I gotta go to bed!!

Was I just “uh-salt-ed”?

Whoa. That was deep.

Those old Greeks were really good at shoveling it, too!

Is Heraclitus a real name?

To salt or not to salt, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler to prevent falls and not suffer lawsuits, or to poison the grass.

I’m surprised enlightened Frazz (Jef) didn’t substitute sand for salt. It’s a little more sweeping in the spring but more eco-friendly.

Absorb and redirect the blows

Good one, Mallett….. I’m sure you got lots of us checking out Heraclitus’ words!

The dejection on poor Caulfield’s face in the last panel, the weary resignation knowing that the sidewalks will get salted and he won’t get to see Mrs. Olsen or one of the other hated teachers slip and get seriously injured.

The poor, precocious, misunderstood genius…

You’re quite the guy, Frazz; quite the guy!

Of course it’s the same river, that’s why the name doesn’t change.

Don’t use salt it is corrosive. Use grit.

Presumably Frazz had already salted the walks, so it wouldn’t be the same ice.
