Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 14, 2021

…and it is thought that polar bears evolved from brown bears.

Just how does Mrs Olsen know that polar bears aren’t fooled by Impossible Blubber?

Is that polar bear sitting staring at a penguin? Would Jef the Cyclist make that kind of mistake??

Where in Poland? Inquiring minds are interested.

Are Polar Bears cuddly like Hippos are?

The transparent hairs of the Polar Bear appear White just like the transparent droplets in a cloud and the transparent crystals in a snowflake appear white.

Mallett should draw Caulfield’s arms much longer. Both he and the lad are reaching today.

Scherzo is going to have a heyday with this one!

And polar bears prefer Coke over Pepsi.

three, seven, nine, and doing just fine

And if you keep repeating them, some people will begin to passionately believe them as being true. He has the makings of a world class influencer. A neat writer as well. I imagine his PowerPoint skills must be excellent.

I bet they would gladly be fooled by plant-based blubber, they feed off of our garbage in Northern Manitoba waiting for sea ice to form.

It’s the Late Night Top 10 with Caulfield!

I thought polar bears evolved from former political parties.

An A for a inspiring presentation.

I did not know they are marine animals—learned something new today

I had to look up Caeleb Dressel, but it appears that fact #2 is true. Polar bears can swim about 6 mph, most humans can only swim 2 or 3 mph. Dressel (a gold medal Olympian swimmer) is not most humans, and he swam a 50-yard freestyle in just under 19 seconds; that would still be under 5.5 mph, and of course it was a sprint.

It’s 2, 3, 7, and 9. They are not doing fine.

How did he possibly write all of that out by hand and draw the picture before Mrs. Olsen noticed there was something wrong with it? Either he’s extremely fast at writing legibly on the chalk board (which is a skill), or she’s much slower mentally than I realized.

Polar bears are doing worse and worse as the polar sea ice melts more and more and more.

I wonder how many people know which four are correct.

With Global Warming, ice sheets are melting too quickly for their safety. I saw a USGS map of northern Canada from the 1940s which had areas marked as “Permanent pack ice” which are now ice free for months on end. They have to swing so far to reach the next ice pack that some don’t make it and drown. They can’t sleep in the water and the young ones don’t have the stamina of the adults.

That is one TALL chalkboard!

Which of those facts are inspired by the current political climate, and will become less true one hundred years from now?

And I’m not ruling out that they will be imported to Antarctica by humans in a desperate attempt to “rescue” them, thereby upsetting the balance of nature. Or that the bears will be hunted to extinction by less friendly nations after they convince industrialized western countries to voluntarily revert to the Stone Age.

Hey Jef, Polar bears live north of the Equator while penguins all live south of the Equator. They never meet.

And you’ll get twice the grade the polar bear would get.

Sadly, the last one isn’t one of the true statement.

You can cuddle a polar bear….once.
