Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 01, 2021

Birthdays do flee as you approach them, until you reach “a certain age”…

Frazz debuted on GoComics on April 2, 2001, so he’s not wrong.

That rumbling is the sound of YEARS worth of Mallet’s fourth wall being destroyed .

Life’s like that, son. Enjoy your youth forever!

Charlie Brown did it longer than you, Caulfield – hang in there!

He’s been 8 for 20 years, but I have him beat because I have been “29” for 30 years now!

He should have a talk with Charlie Brown

Caulfield is a old soul.

“May you stay forever young” – B. Dylan

I’m 58

Some would say I’ve been 8 years old for 50 years

Go talk to Nancy.

Whoa! Meta, dude.

March is much different! For one thing, the sun is high enough that you run out to your car at lunchtime and grab a quick snooze…

So, who has the records? The Peanuts characters (one cartoonist)? Nancy (multiple cartoonists)?

It’s been at least 12.5% of his life – it HAS been an awfully long time.

So far, March is looking to be much better than February.

If you’ve been 8 years old for more than 2 years — you just might be a vampire.

Throughout human history (and definitely in human literature), certain of those humans have yearned for immortality. Death is scary, so living forever is certainly going to have its appeal. But I wonder if you get to pick an age to spend forever in. That would be a big decision. One that for some people, I get the impression, would be intimidating enough to take the shine off immortality:

“Give me options or give me death. Come to think of it, just give me death after all.”

“Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.”—Susan Ertz

I’m not one of them who doesn’t know what to do. Not enough hours in the day.

I swear I can’t love this comic more… Than the next one comes along. ( i.e.- yesterday was awesome and then today! Supremely exquisite, Jef! Thank you!)
