Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 26, 2023

There’s different in detail and then there’s different in scope.

It may be the first time you’ve said it within this guy’s hearing, which isn’t quite the same thing as never having said it at all.

The principle here is that the Principal doesn’t seem altogether here!

Deja Vu all over again !

Dr. Spaetzle, the Principal, thinking out loud?

I’ve often thought that a good summer job for Frazz would be as a camp councelor. That way he could still be involved with kids until school restarted in the fall. The strip wouldn’t have to rely on him running into everyone he knows from school through the summer, which is kind of ridiculous. Also a great way for J. Mallett to introduce new characters.

It seems that more people have complained that seasons aren’t falling on predictable calendar dates. (The Universe laughs at our plans.)

I learned that one of the most popular reasons folks travel is for the taste of different foods.

Because if you don’t say it to Frazz—if you say it to anybody else—it doesn’t count.

For me the summers were predictable: part time job to add to family income. [Enjoyment depended on which job.] Then the Dept of Ed mandated classes that had little or no application in the classroom but were required to maintain the certificate. [They were part of the Standards of Learning or SOLs, an ironic match to an old military acronym for when an op went south. It was an abbreviation for S—- Out of Luck.]
