Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 25, 2023

Did she take a page from Sheila Jackson Lee’s book?

There’s err-and-success!

They’re from different roots though? Error (and err) is from the Latin errare , while errand is from the Old English ǣrende meaning mission.

“Three-pointed a paper wad”? Where do I look that up?

My question: Of all the students she could have chosen, why choose the one you know will probably be diverted….

a short trip that is taken in the performance of a necessary task or mission

Sorta a Family Circus

Frazz hit it. Sending a grade school kid on a trip for a purpose presupposes he/she will do that and nothing else. Foolish mortals.

Meanwhile, back at the paper towels,,,,

She said “errand;” he heard “errant.”

To err is human; to forgive is not in my job description.

Jef Mallett’s strips always have a basic sense of truth in them.

Squirrel!
