Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 18, 2025

If this is the final comic of Frazz it wouldn’t be awful.

Wonder why I keep imagining Calvin and Hobbes while looking at this ’toon.

Why is Frazz is sitting on a tree branch?

Frazz’s boot is laying on the snow!

Don’t count your landing as good landing until you’ve walked away from it.

Chuck Yeager would have been a great astronaut. If only he had a college degree, sigh.

Did you sense any heat buildup during reentry?

It’s always good if the number of landings equal the number of takeoffs.

I think it’s one of the best available.

This was no outstanding landing for sure.

A landing is just a controlled crash.

I wonder if this was the same hill Wallace was using?

If you walk away, it’s a good landing. If you taxi away it’s a great landing. Although, if it takes full power to taxi, you may have landed with the gear up.

Anytime you can use a Chuck Yeager quote in your strip is a good day!

What if you can only use part of the “plane” the next day? (I’m thinking of SpaceX.)

Trees are notorious sled magnets, if I recall properly from my childhood.

As a pilot, I’ve heard the first panel quote ad-nauseam. As it’s so frequently quoted, I’d forgotten Yeager made it.

Pilot Officer Prune (RAF, WWII) said it earlier — and no doubt a lot of pilots have said it before and since. I think Yeager might have said it with more feeling!

Well, you’re certainly not using that sled again, but let’s see you get up and walk home.
