Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 29, 2012

A sign in it said “this way to Pelucidar”

another sign read: “It’s the economy, stupid!”

… it has little potholes orbi— …no…… …when it lays around the road it lays arou— … no… …it pays taxes in thr— … no…Ok, what’s so funny about potholes, again?

We have a reporter name “Pothole Harry” in Atlanta.

What – no big cities in the Midwest? Where did you flunk US geography?

There are only two seasons here – winter and construction.

being from Ohio (first 30 years of my life), I resemble that remark!

Detroit got tired of looking at potholes so they turned the streetlights off.

“STOP DIGGING!”

David Letterman has done a lot of pothole jokes. My favorite is “There’s a pothole on 8th Avenue that has its own gift shop.”

We have big cities in the Midwest too.

Somebody in my sister’s Illinois town once got a water-filled pothole enough attention to be fixed by floating a duck decoy in it.

Better a pot hole than those sink holes that open up periodically in the Midwest. I’d rather lose a tire than my car.

…there was an SUV in it!

…SERIOUSLY!

I live in the midwest, and i’ve never heard of this, what else am I missing out on.

In Philly a bus once hit a pothole and broke an axle. The radio traffic announcer reported that a bus had fallen into the pothole. The news announcers couldn’t resist and began “reporting” that the bus was now running a regular schedule from one end of the pothole to the other.

But please don’t confuse potholes with sinkholes. Totally different leagues. A good healthy sinkhole can eat anything it wants.

That I christen thee Governor Jerry “moonbeam” Brown King of pot holes!

I missed my first pothole in Anchorage this week – Spring is here!!

Boy, you can tell Mallet lives in Michigan!

We have tour guides for our potholes…..That’s the best and safest way to observe them…..so many people have been lost over the years….

Very timely!

Puddleglum, yeah, the more I read about the geology of FL, (I’ve been reading Randy Wayne White’s Doc Ford series..), the more amazing I think it is….. I just though it was a big sand bar. I’d love to see what would happen if the ocean went up or down ten feet…

Beantown craters are notorious for wrecking your front end or rims

Rochester NY has been called the Road Construction Capitol of the US. That was years ago when we had the Can Of Worms (an engineering and drivers nightmare that students from around the world use as an example of what NOT to design!) But we still get our Potholes. … That pothole was so big…. It’s got it’s own address on the GPS.

… that the nearby houses are being marketed as “waterfront property.”

So far, there are three SUVs, a minivan, and thr short school buss in it.

That would have been a fitting place for our AWOL state representatives to hide out in.

that could be Portland OR too, they are so busy catering to bikes and light rail, that they have no money left for roads.

„Yo mama is so fat, she can fill a midwesterners pothole“?
