Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 12, 2025

Maybe there is a reason for the expression, “dumb clucks”?

I pity any newspaper reader who missed yesterday.

I would be even more concerned about the horses in the background that are even nearer the tornado.

Cluelessness? The Dick Cheney of unknowns.

Never feel sorry for chickens. They know what they did!

“Nothing’s scarier than cluelessness.”

Though not to the clueless.

But tornados are very narrow. Chances are it will miss them completely (but it’s good to take cover just in case). Not sure why someone just looking at the painting would be scared.

What if we spent the last ten years warning, begging, and pleading with the chicken to not elect the tornado? Sorry, I digress.

I wonder how many people (besides me) did internet searches of this painting because of this comic strip?

This arc is an extended metaphor but I’m having trouble thinking of just who it refers to or what events caused that destructive wind force. Yeah. R-i-i-i-g-h-t.

I am clueless about what they are talking about. I wish there was some system by which I could look up the painting in question…

That last line doesn’t make me feel better about the world.

When a bird is taken high up in the air it will fly down later. Nothing to worry about.

Chicken Little? Of course, the sky is not falling. It is vacuuming everything up instead.
