Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 10, 2023

Is it time for the lesson about compound interest yet?

sounds like a word problem

And it takes him 1.5 hours to walk 3.2 miles? A stop for a snack?

It’s not a lesson in consistency or procrastination, it was a math lesson.

Come out looking bad? The lesson here is, no matter what the reason, it’s never too late to start a good habit.

Go Mr Spaetzl GO!

I’m loving this arc, but with one major quibble. Walking on the John Muir trail, is “hiking”. Walking in the cemetery is “walking” The pace and the energy expenditure between the two is very different.

a Small piece of the John Muir Trail is in Yosemite & is an alternate way to go from Happy Isle to the top of Merced Falls instead of the Mist Trail

I look at Scott Hilburn’s “Argyle Sweater” comic strip and find a new pun every day — often (as with today’s installment) 5 of them at a time. Creativity and originality are possible. Just not here, where this same dull, vapid story line has been beaten to death but keeps rising from the grave, zombielike, day after day.

I’ve beer reading this comic every day for years now and I’ve been wondering. What is Mr Spaetzle doing these days? And why won’t Jef keep us informed?

Definitely a lesson on procrastination.

You’re in this comic. You’re never going to look like a kind person

Use your bicycle, kid!
