Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 26, 2024

If the door is baroque don’t be Haydn. Come around Bach and jiggle the Handel.

Silly boy. Bach never said Twist and Shoot.

Ooogh. Horrible pun: Bach-thing day.

If it’s Baroque, you better get it fixed.

It was originally a bust. Now it IS bust!

I love it. Thanks Jef!!

Leave the puns to Pastis!

Today is Bach Day how? Kid took the usual way of handling something he didn’t like and likely wouldn’t understand to begin with.

Happy many returns day. Gonna be very long lines at the register. Please have your sales ticket or gift return ready. Probably best to have a meal before you go. Could be along time until the next one.

Schroeder would be protesting that there’s no Beethoven day.

I’m surprised you didn’t vocalize the parts. Then it would be a Bach-sing Day.

This is Pastis Worthy….

A pun is the lowest form of humor. Unless you thought of it first.

Take it back. Take it all back. Or regift.

Bad pun! Bad! Bad pun! I am SO jealous!

If you like Blue Grass, then Brandenburger Family plays so some great music. But you got to get past the gospel stuff to find it.

Did Jef & Pastis do the Snl Che/Jost trade-off thing?

Blew coffee out my nose. Thanks Jef.

We like to listen to Baroque music at Christmas, but we NEVER listen to the Christmas Story by Heinrich Schütz! I don’t want anyone Schützing their eye out!

Ah, the classics!

Pastis wants to see you…

He didn’t Handel it properly.

One afternoon, as my wife and I were sitting on the couch, she let out a large group, that sounded like Baaaccchhh. She went into giggle hysterics when I looked at her and said, Beethoven.

Two puns for the price of one – don’t I feel special.

Loving all the musical references.

Save the puns for Frank and Ernest.

Make sure Pastis gets his cut, his La Gioco di Parole has a monopoly on puns in comics.

I have no symphony for this one.

Instead of “Boxing Day.”

GROOOAN.

OUCH…!

Be careful Frazz, Rat may come to visit with his baseball bat.

Bad pun! No biscuit!

For SHAME!

Bach’s music is Suite in a Baroque kind of way; Violin, Harpsicord, Orchestra, Flute, Lute and my favorite Cello.

Guest strip by Pastis? Just asking. :-)

I wonder just how long it took Mallett to work out his Boxing Day pun?

Offenbach to the store the next day.

A poor attempt at a pun is better than no pun at all. Box on!

Classical musicians usually have compiled a large collection of these jokes and wait patiently for an opportunity to use them. Today is that day.

And I’m not surprised that this particular child’s dad gave him that particular gift.

Bach, humbug!

Oh, Jef. You did not go there!

Have some Mozart-ella on your grilled sandwich.

How was the eggnog at Pastis’, Jef? Spiked, I guess?

“It went “zip” when it moved and “bop” when it stopped,And “whirr” when it stood still.I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will" Oh, the memories, when all of life spread out like a meadow of fresh snow…! sniff.

Ooh, you sure showed Pastis, didn’t you.

This made Pastis jealous

I save my Christmas Chopin for Bach-sing day.
