Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 18, 2024

Every moment of happiness requires a great amount of Ignorance.

Who is he negotiating WITH??

Frazz is just the sounding board…

Can we just stop to appreciate the fact that an elementary school kid is reading Balzac?

Oh no, that’s un-American! You’re supposed to believe that the super-wealthy are just smarter and braver than the rest of us.

“Behind every deal is a negotiation.”

And “negotiation” has the same root as “negative”?

Ok, I’ll admit it – I had to look him up. Another Frazz strip that made me do homework.

Sorry, Caulfield. Crime only pays when it’s really, really evil and affects a lot of people. All other crimes cost you.

So Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Oprah are really criminals?

Wonder why Caulfield would be involved in a parking violation? Be interesting to see the rest of this thread.

Balzac predates the retirement account and compound interest…

Balzac? Not a great source of wisdom.

Read about Frederick Trump sometime. His time during the Yukon Gold Rush included him running a brothel. Sometimes he was entrusted to keep a miners gold in his safe, and occasionally that miner went missing. Probably a coincidence.

Be happy if you’re dealing with a full deck.

Give and take in bargaining…

If this were River City, Caulfield would be in trouble.

“Chaucer… Rabelais… BALZAC!”

Balzac? Weren’t he French? Or sum’n.

Wrong

Steve Martin’s idea for solving overpopulation would wipe out Princeton: “Death Penalty for parking violation.”
