Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 03, 2022

I don’t get it.

So … Hoosier favorite Indy penguin?

Lawyers from IU on line 2.

“Macaroni” aka 18 century powered wig fop/dandy. They wore feathers in their hats.

Do Pastis and Thaves know that Mallett’s trying to do puns now? Maybe they could provide the poor guy with some helpful advice.

No. Indy Penguins Day is tomorrow, the 4th. But I realize math is hard for modern students.

What about the Butler, UofI, and Marian grads? (Just FYI, IU is in Flowery Gulch, about an hour south.)

fusilier, in Indpls

James 2:24

Though this team is not originally native to this country, they have found their way to fit in, and they have been accepted and embraced (by most) as so many others have been.

Nice little Pearl there, Jef.

It’s OK Caulfield, I got your back buddy

Time for a makeover for my Opus!

Nah.

“Oh cr-ap,” “That’s due tomorrow?” Thomas Jefferson, July 3, 1776.

Great, Caulfield has the same cynical snobbery as Bill Griffith: If you don’t like a joke, you must not get it.

Mallett’s at it again by trying to cast his “Pearls Before Swine.”

“For what it’s worth”? Wouldn’t that be a buffalo rather than a penguin?

Like the kids’ joke book my 8 year old niece got from the library: “Uncle P-, why is this joke funny?” Me: “Um, well, they’re really reaching with that one. It’s not just you.”

It’s In-Deep Antics day

I just thought the hockey team moved from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis.(Wasn’t saying Indy-penguins Day fast enough ).

Shades of Jason Fox from Foxtrot.

Someone call Rat from Pearls Before Swine. He knows how to handle this.

Should have had the penguin in a race car.

Took me until the last frame, but I think I have gotten it now. Yay, me! And go, Caulfield!

Yankee doodle wore the feather ironically ;)

Wait, if he’s an Indy Penguin, where’s his fedora and bullwhip?

those yellow feathers are just like a macaroni penguin. I think Mrs. Olson has the best comment.
