Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 23, 2012

When I was stuck in the hospital after knee surgery at 15, a nurse actually taught me to make myself burp.My mother was horrified.

Smetla — just because 17 years ago, Calvin was shown hoping for an “explosion” when the BUBBLE HE BLEW pops…. that means Mallet stole this totally unrelated joke that only has one word in common with that strip??!! Wow.I guess you should stop talking…. every time you open your mouth you’re using words other people have said before.Maybe not in the same context…but you wouldn’t want people to think you stole them.

Boys, boys…come to order. This is a serious meeting here. Now who wants to show and tell?

These two comics have absolutely nothing in common….

When Madame de Versallis was about to die, she rolled over and broke wind loudly, “Good,”, she said,“a woman that can fart is not dead.” Those were her last words.

Oh I assure you that you do the one not mentioned in your sleep. Just ask your sleep partner.

If my nephew ever sees this. (evil grin)Hiney burp. (I don’t think he was 3 yet)

I generally rag on cartoonists who resort to fart jokes, but this one is so subtle I have to admire it.

(Hi, SusieS., my darlin’! Seeing a different side of you. How’s the old knee these days?)

Frazz is cute. He looks like calvin, all messy blond hair.

Mu junior year of HS is when, late bloomers all, we learned you could light farts. Discovered it on a jazz band trip out of state, where we were holed up in motel rooms for the weekend. One of our trumpeters decided to see how long he could hold off cracking a rat. When he finally turned it loose, he shot a flamethrower halfway or more across the room — and was flopping on the bed and screaming for a good five minutes or more after singeing the hairs on his tailpipe.

foolish cartoon…Frazz really isn’t what it once was.

Foolish comment. Say “Goodnight”, Dr. Loser…..

K M I too, have seen that done, at about the same age. There was one guy that was really good at it..and he did it with his pants on…one time it went out his pant leg though. Pretty funny…

better to pass the gas and bear the smell than hold that fart and hurt like hell

My children refer to passing gas as “making a boy noise”. Being 6 and 4, they are also quite willing to claim responsibility for any and all “boy noises” created in their vicinity.

Apparently some people are unable get to the phone and call the police on the persons holding them hostage and forcing them to read strips they don’t like.

Caulfield needs to research Le Petomane, a French entertainer who could fart at will.
