Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 06, 2024

Who burned the cheese? Never heard that one. /s

You’d think someone as conspicuously intellectual as Caufield would find “who farted” jokes far beneath him.

They who smelt it dealt it

The fox is the finder, the stink lies behind her.

Caulfield has a wealth of stories.

Or the omelette….

Third grade humor in a strip aimed at doctorate humor.

Then Brunch would be Toasted Cheese sandwiches? (Perhaps too early for that one.)

I think the one who laughs about and comments about burnt toast is the guilty party himself.

Mrs. Olsen is a very tolerant person, but then, she’s had years of experience at this grade level and a unique event would be rare.

I thought burnt toast was a sign of a stroke

Oh, thanks for reminding me of that birthday card I saw with the cute little teddy bears bringing items to a birthday party, including cheese, and the one in front says, “And I’ll cut the cheese!” and expels a noxious black cloud at all the ones coming up behind.

Dogs and flatulence.

Our son was sitting in class, probably 4th or 5th grade, and asked a kid returning from the restroom if everything came out alright. Only time in 12 years of public school he spent time in detention!

My maternal grandparents immigrated to America early in the 20th Century, and my mother grew up in a household that spoke only Serbian, so she was fluent in it (as well as in the English she learned in the public schools) but had succumbed to the myth that it would only confuse your kids if you used two different languages around them. Thus my sister and I were deprived of the benefits we would have had if we’d grown up bilingual. However, she did mention a couple of Serbian phrases that stuck with me thru the years. One was (phonetically rendered) “locka noche e liappa soney” (good night and pleasant dreams) and the other was “coat tha putska” (who’s been shooting rabbits?).

A rat smells his own hole first.

Caulfield always passes up a chance to just keep his mouth shut.

I remember another strip where Caulfield, seeing a classmate with a horrified expression on her face, promptly let out a huge belch to divert everyone’s attention (and amusement) to himself.

I remember in third grade (Mrs. Dillon’s class) Craig Szymke let out a very loud belch. Followed by a much louder ’SCUUSE ME.
