Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 02, 2024

I can’t even remember that there’s a Butler Street.

In the last year my mailing address has been changed three times. 1402 East Hwy 70—1402 Magnolia—1402 Business 70.

Why Butler Street or maybe it was Bulter Avenue?

Have you eaten your pi yet? ..

These two days of the strip hits home a bit too close…

Memories like that are like discoveries in the mirror over time. Now where did that come from? It wasn’t there yesterday . . . was it?

She could ask Caulfield, but that would create more problems than answers.

Who else read the first two panels and started to think this was a repeat of yesterday’s strip?

Is there a ‘dogs and their owners’ thing going on here?

It appears that dogs do tend to look like their owners or vice versa.

Mrs. Olsen is right. Sudden recognition of recent changes in a remembered pattern often are recalled as ‘how did I miss that’ memories and are chewed over until the ‘I should have seen that’ regrets fade.

Brilliant!

No, Mrs. O – other way around; she’s mistaking obsession for forgetfulness.

Ok, I admit I was fooled into thinking today’s strip was a repeat of yesterday’s story because I looked at the pictures first. Having found the error of my ways after actually reading the words, I now blame Mr. Mallet for my mistake (it’s a self denial of my faults thing) because he obviously did not have enough time to actually draw another strip and just changed the words to accommodate the rush he was in!

I note their clothing is different, so I have not totally lost it – whatever “it” is…

LOL I was about to say something about a rerun, before I actually read the last panel.

Jane’s greyhound is named Mario. I’m assuming that Mrs. Olsen’s dog is a Boston Bull, but has it’s name ever been mentioned?

Actually, I think she’s mistaking complusion for forgetfulness, but whatever…

Repeat, or three peat. I can’t remember, lol.

Ooo! Great comeback!!!
