Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 29, 2024

The best reason is more or less “central” to male physicality!

Why does anyone wears tights on a hot summer day? And usually black?

Remember, guys: If they fall below your knees – they ain’t shorts!

the first being . . . ?

I like my jeans and walking shorts 3/4 length. Kinda sorta like BASKETBALL SHORTS.

I like my jean shorts and walking shorts about 3/4 length, kinda like BASKETBALL SHORTS. And Baggy as all get out.

Baggy leg shorts? Oh he means “bug scoopers”.

Some stretch pants have no choice.

I wonder how Caufield would think about shorts in the ’70s?

But what does Frazz wear when he’s cycling?

Several years ago, when my wife and I were traveling around Spain on one of our wedding anniversary trips, we noticed that a lot of the young Spaniard males (young male Spaniards?) were trending in Capris, long a staple of all ages of women back in the states. Wife suggested I should try them and I gave her two valid reasons: 1, I am not a young Spaniard male and, 2, I don’t want my older male coworkers to think I’ve gone soft.

There’s always padded cycling pants if you want tight!

Don’t wear those while walking thru tall grass or in the woods. Ticks, y’know. They just love bare legs, and yours look particularly tender and tasty.

Some young women are starting to opt for comfort while remaining feminine.

“We’re men, we’re men in tights” Caulfield obviously isn’t thinking of the several hundred years when all the stylish gents wore hose and a codpiece.

Sources of Truth, I’ve heard:

alcohol

small children

leggings

Me too and I’m sure whoever would have seen me.

1950-1980 mid thigh was long

He likes shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!

It’s as if Jef doesn’t think we remember he’s a triathlete. ;)

I used to wear tights in winter to keep my legs warm on my bike. Sometimes I would wear long underwear under my tights, and when it got really cold another pair of tights over the first and the long underwear. That was mainly for the windchill, because I generated my own windchill as I was riding.

the problem with yoga tights is that they catch onto the guys
