Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 30, 2021

You oughta try body surfing.

I’m with her. I read this article explaining how all the parts fit together, found it very clear, even learned something about T cells.

Labor Day is September 6 this year. Isn’t the latest possible day the 7th?

School has been back in session in the south for two or three weeks now.

The kid paints a very evocative word picture, especially the Cape Horn reference. Reading her book reports and essays should be a treat,

For a minute, I thought Frazz was wearing Jeremy Duncan’s shirt.

And in some school districts, it started… AND STOPPED AGAIN FROM STUDENTS AND TEACHERS DROPPING DEAD FROM “THE DEMOCRATIC HOAX!!”.

Luckily, the Florida courts told DeathSantis to pound his mask mandate Executive Order up his @$$!!!!

Most schools open in August.

Surfing in Great White central? Sounds exciting.

And let’s all remember – Labor Day isn’t just about a break from your labors; it is meant to honor the men and women who fought and died (yes, died; unionism in the US has usually been met with violence, both corporate & governmental – which are far too often indistinguishable) to give you 8 hour days, 40 hour weeks, paid sick leave, paid medical insurance, paid vacation, pensions, child-labor laws, safe-workplace laws…..I could go on and on.

So celebrate it in such a way as to further their struggle: If you work for an hourly wage, ORGANIZE!!! Join a union today; you’ll be glad you did!

Whether you work for an hourly wage or not, write, e-mail, telegraph, and/call your elected representatives and demand that they support Labor with legislation: Strike down all right-to-work-for-less laws, ban scabs (the scum that the ownership class likes to euphemize as “replacement workers”), at least allow for – and preferably require – closed shops, protect pensions, enact single-payer health insurance……again, I could go on and on.

And remember: “Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” – Abraham Lincoln

Wait, their school actually waits until Labor Day to start? Who does that anymore?

School here has been back in session for a few weeks already. But thanks to unvaccinated parents, anti-mask parents, and a gutless Governor who says parents can opt out of local mandates, several schools are experiencing a lot of infections and already have had to revert to online learning.

Great payoff in the last panel — LOLOL

Cavemen would have thought the styrofoam lid was God’s sea vessel. How can there be such a wonder?

I surmise this little one could be a lad and not a lass…

Hurray, we finally left Afghanistan after spending 20 wasted years there. Between 1839 and 1919 the British tried 3 times to make Afghanistans support them not Russia.

No, the Afghans didn’t support Russia, either.
