Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 11, 2023

She should be grateful it isn’t last April.

There is a kind of lag time that occurs with the seasons.

In my head it’s still 1992.

The weather still thinks it’s August too.

If I had my way, we’d fast forward to winter. Love snow!

Catching up? Or is it stuck there?

They play homework tag most of the year. It’s become their song.

Poor Caulfield! Even the calendar conspires against him.

Because there is lag time between your senses receiving information and your brain processing it, everyone is living in the past.

Ever wonder what a cartoonist’s creative dry spell looks like?

Wonder no more.

In terms of turning in homework it is September — of last year!!!

“It’s late September and I really should be…back at school…”

Sounds like my daughter. (And, to be fair, me at the same age.)

A couple of decades of teaching taught me that homework is nothing more than child abuse. They should be outside playing. Only if the sprat is consumed with their social media should they be sentenced to homework.
