Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 25, 2022

Makes me wanna run and gag . . . .

Gag seems appropriate.

And he turned red from the exertion.

Did Roger Bannister run up and down the stairs to get in shape?

Johnnie Walker?

joke has no speed

Under 4:00, not in 4:00.

Mallett seems mostly bored this week.

From the days before 2-letter state abbreviations:

What do you do if you find Chicago Ill? Call Baltimore, MD.

And, of course, in the same vein (but sans abbr.)……

What was the biggest moving job in history? Wheeling West Virginia.

What was the biggest plumbing job in history? Flushing New York.

What was the biggest medical operation in history? Lansing Michigan.

…limps across the line.

Sometimes I’m overserved Johnnie Walker and I can barely walk, let alone run.

He certainly had zeal.

I odo wallop you for that one

A fine rim-shot moment in the comi-verse.

I’m walking away.

And the Walker who broke Chuck Norris’ show: Jared Padelecki.

So many Walkers in the Walking Dead shows.

I used to be more of a “Johnny Walker” but gave it up!

Ah. Ha ha. A running running gag. From “Iphegenia in Brooklyn” by P.D.Q. Bach (Peter Schickele) / https://lyricstranslate.com/en/peter-schickele-iphegenia-brooklyn-lyrics.html “And in a vision Iphigenia saw her brother – Orestes, / who was being chased 1 by the Eumenides / And he cried out in anguish, / “Oh ye gods, who knows what it is to be running? / Only he who is running, running, running knows!” /

Run! Run! Running knows. / Run running knows. / Run running knows. / Run run run run run run run run run run knows. / Run run run, running running running knows. / Running running running run knows. / Running running knows. / Running. (Running!) Running. (Running!) Running (Running!) Running. (Running!) Running (Running!) Running running knows. / Run! / Running running running knows.
