Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 07, 2021

Bad job on ignoring the falling leaves, unless that is inspiring your discussion, future Mr and Mrs. Edwin Frazier!

And thus the fractalization begins.

I dream of sailing the Caribbean.

Right, don’t put him in with the downhill skiers, because heaven forfend that he should miss an opportunity to be condescending to some sport his author disapproves of. Downhill skiing? What that’s almost as contemptible as gasp team sports!

She’s nuts, there are far more choices than that. And you often don’t have to go south to stay warm or go north to ski.

Her attitude is a bit out-of-date. These days, everybody just dreaming about going somewhere – anywhere at all.

I spent many hours cross country (Nordic) skiing, The “skaters” of late lay ruin to the peaceful and rhythmic tracks of days gone by.

Alter egos often offer alternate philosophies. [Not all of them applicable to anything]

He gets so board with them.

“Representative Democracy in a Republic.” That has become just a notion Frazz. “if you elect me…,” now means if you elect me my views will become yours.

“Winter is Coming”

“Well, they called him Super Skier, As he sat around the sun deck, For he swore that he would never take a spill, When they finally got him down, They had to use two toboggans, To carry all the pieces down the hill…”

Get a life, is that to much!

I thought they were talking about leaf mowers/mulchers vs. rakers/baggers.

Well I am a huge fan of Jef and Frazz. I agree w/ what Jef is saying through Frazz. But, I am not, nor have I ever been, the athlete that Frazz or Jef is.Sports I enjoy besides sauntering? Calvin BallHockey and Tennis when Snoopy // Woodstock are playing. Summer and Winter Olympics, for the most part.

There is a middle way, where we stay in places that are warm in summer and cold in winter. It will snow here soon, this month I expect, but not that long ago it was so warm sensible people were either in the lake or in the AC.

That’s the trouble with skiing, once you get off the ski lift it’s all downhill!

Don’t put me with downhill skiers either – moving at speed, I balance about as well as a lollipop. :-)

I thought she was talking about pumpkin spice.

My GF’s penpal lived in Oz somewhere where you either walk to the beach or take a quick train ride and go skiing

Is the use of “Nordic” and “downhill” a subtle jab? And do the other guys use ""Alpine" and “cross-country”?

Thankfully there’s Stephan Pastis to mock Jef. :)

I agree with many comments above. The trouble with Jef’s condescending mockery of all sports but the the ones he loves (e.g. running, biking, Nordic, etc.) and all climates but the upper Midwest is that he is mocking many, probably the majority, of his readers.

It isn’t always about politics.

It’s adorable watching Scandanavian parents towing their little babies who are on trainer skis doing cross country skiing.

I thought this was going to lead to those who like daylight saving time and those who don’t.

Save the alpine trail for me. It’s what I wait for the rest of the year.

At least Frazz wasn’t brilliantly deducing what she meant.

Mr. Mallett: A pox on your detractors! They are out in full force today.

There are two types of people in this world. Those who believe there are two types of people and those who don’t.
