Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 03, 2012
Transcript:
Frazz: How was summer? Girl: We went to that Pearls Before Swine amusement park. Frazz: How was that? Girl: Awful. Everything was on a slope because the cartoonist was too cheap too spring for the good property in the valley. Frazz: Oh, no. Girl: You know what they say: Frazz: I know what Pastis would say. Girl: The Pearly-World get the berm.

I love Frazz and Pearls. Two excellent comics, and in reality Mallett and Pastis are friends

Keep away from this one Steph.

Of course that is what Steven Patsis would write … and may the farce be with him …

All Hail Blue and Gold! [They may have lost the season opener to Nevada but the Golden Bears are still Frazz’s team. That’s good for this Berkeley native to see.]

Yes, the strip suddenly changes from handwritten text to typed text and it seems like almost no one notices it!

What happened to Mrs. Mallett’s handwritten font???? I thought it was the best! Drop this computer serif font now.

Today’s “Pearls…” had cyclist Jeff become Jef to reduce weight.

What’s with the Cal shirt? Is Mallett rubbing in their loss to Nevada or am I missing something obvious?
Michael Ritter almost 12 years ago
Got it. Pastis graduated from Cal. Should’ve known.

Do I sense a little rivalry taking place?

These comic strip “wars” are helping me to understand male bonding.

Go, Pastis,go!!!!

I think the font thing is a dig at Pastis’ apparent use of a typed cartoon font for his strips. If you look really close at a PBS strip, all the examples of a given letter are exactly alike. Even the Zeeba’s seem to have their own typed font.

OK so after reading both comics – as I do daily, I have to wonder if each artist sent the other the drawings and had the other fill in the dialog.

This must be a very gentlemanly war – three weeks’ notice of all maneuvers (or manoeuvres if you speak English).

If I recall, Jef’s wife does the lettering normally. I hope she’s okay.
KenyarJad almost 12 years ago
I knew before I even started reading that this was gonna’ riff on Pearls. Not a bad pun, but it really isn’t Frazz.
Spade Jr. almost 12 years ago
Takin’ the day off from serious drawing, eh Mallett?
Works for me.
Get it? “works for…”
On second thought, never mind.

Good job Mallett, this was great!
