Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 28, 2024

Dr Spaetzle, enjoying a coffee away from school?

Yep, Yep and Yep!!!!

Shop sign = literary reference. Very cool.

Yep. Doing what you think best at the time removes the feeling of boring repetition – so long as the ‘replacement exercise’ achieves the intended goal.

Wonder if Dr. Spaetzle will try another virtual tour this summer? That one was a fun arc. Maybe both he and Mrs. Olsen? They’d enjoy the company and we’d enjoy the walk with them.

“I spent the summer reading Zap Comics and the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.”

Only works if you’re motivated to train. Which means it’ll work for Caulfield, but I’m not sure about some of his classmates.

“The great white whale, Moby Richard.” “Excuse me, don’t you mean, Moby Dick?” “I didn’t know him that well.” -Hap Shaughnessy, The Red Green Show

Are the qoffee stirrers shaped like little harpoons?

A Moby Dick coffee shop?

I ‘train by feel’ as well. The downside is that I often feel too lazy to get up and train.

I have ? about summer reading lists (never had one). If you get anew teacher in the next grade, do they quiz you on the books you were supposed to read or is it an honor system thing?

LOVE the name of the qafe! And very appropriate as I believe the book has been on a majority of summer reading lists.

So Cauldwell overthinks the issue. It had nothing to do with him

Hopefully she gave them some parameters—such as a minimum number of books to be read, and actual books, not comics. (Of course, then Caulfield would argue about comics vs graphic novels!)
