Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 13, 2021

I dunno. When I manage to shrink my personal bag o’ dumbness, I always notice that it’s re-inflated no more than a few days later. I think it self-regenerates.

Next step, we’re going to populate Venus with robots.

Use space as a garbage dump? Can’t we instead somehow: “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and (most importantly in this case) Rethink.”

I hope the Chinese followed biologic protocols for the rover the just landed on Mars

I believe the original quote was " scientist have discovered signs of intelligent life (something like) in far away space, isn’t to bad they had to look so far away." By Alfred E Nueman

Not just NASA anymore, Frazz.

There’s a theory the whole universe is conscious.

The Golgafrinchans did it.

Mallet seems to also be referencing March of the Morons. I don’t think that one ended so well, however.

Today’s (and everyday’s) comment from our contrarians: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xHash5takWU

What song and what movie?

Mars is populated entirely by robots, and most of us have no idea what they are doing.

Now that’s a “T**** Shuttle” I’d like to see.

Couldn’t have been Python, he said old movie.

All we sent to space is hardware. The intelligence is still here. We just hear of so much stupidity because it supports the media better.

Schedule naked mud wrestling opposed to an update on the vehicle bringing a sample back from an asteroid; and see which one sets a viewer record.

Great song from MP’s “The meaning of life”

Frazz must be thinking of republican politicians.

The Month Python reference is the Galaxy Song that appeared in Monty Python and the Meaning of Life.

Dumbness is already being sent into outer space. The problem is that satellites return it to earth and racists tune into it when watching Hannity, Tucker C, and the like.

“Precious little”?

There’s not enough space for our stupidity. Stupidity expands to fill the available space.

What I’m waiting for is evidence for intelligent night life in the universe.

Lately, even the Vogons appear smart

I have some suggestions….

Is this the most smug comic strip on the planet?

Nice background of space behind all of the panels.

Here’s the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk . I used to use this with astronomy students in my planetarium, adding full-dome visual sequences to match different parts of the song. It turned out very entertaining.

I take it the censors wouldn’t let you quote MP accurately: “Because there’s bugger-all down here on Earth” One of their greatest sketches, that one.

Intelligence is an ability to use knowledge. It modifies any personality. What you think of as intelligence isn’t what it is.

Paraphrasing a remark attributed to Einstein, “The difference between genius and stupidity, is that genius has its limits.”

The way the Dutch sent all of their conservative Calvinist to western Michigan, leaving the Netherlands to be the most progressive country and Grand Rapids area to be so benighted.

Ahhh! Etlib’s Law: No creature without tentacles has ever developed true intelligence.
