Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 28, 2011

Oh, indeed! To be fair, he did what he could to NOT spend his parents’ money, but the effect of being raised that rich were hard to escape.

that teaches you how things are, the governament official Albert Falls goes down for accepting bribes while the man who bribed him is found innocent. The one percent in action.

What does the Teapot Dome Scandal have to do with waxing or shaving your legs? I personally shave mine.

Zack Hill would have been hauled to the principal’s office for that question.

I never did figure out the Teapot Dome scandal. It remains the enduring mystery of my junior high American History experience.

Oh my. I had to look up Teapot Dome. Don’t recall learning this at all

Those aren’t fuzzy socks she is wearing.

My history teachers seemed to think that anything during their lifetime was not really history. Some of them must have been really old.

Teapot Dome is nothing compared with what is going on now.

fairportfan2: I read the Mote in God’s Eye.

Same situation 34 years ago: I asked if my female teacher could cook….. I was thrown out of school for 2 weeks…. did I do something wrong?

SINCLAIR Lewis? Cute, Fairportfan2. Only I believe it was Standard………

It was Standard and before the break-up into the Seven Sisters, which have re-merged to only five. However, the corporate media insists there are still seven by including the Two Cousins (British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell) which were never a part of the Standard Oil near-monopoly.

I’m thinkin’ she uses a chainsaw….

I was shocked. That personal from a kid student…at that point I pull rank. Otherwise why bother growing up, working the way thru school, putting up with school oppressive politics, and OTHER untamed kids…yeah, at that point he goes to the principal, unless there IS a dark cellar or a woodshed.

Most of his ‘digs’ are intellectual fun. That one got up my leg, too, and I’m a guy and whip on authority a lot.

And yeah, it was a sneaky way to work in a reminder that the reepthugs have been actively involved in class warfare a LONG time before we figured out we were being attacked and parasitized.

GOTP delenda est…

I’ve been a big Frazz fan from the outset…have all of the published cartoon books. But, you know, Mallett seems to be getting more and more redundant and less and less original.

Yes.

Caulfield doesn’t need to learn humility as much as he needs to learn history. How’s he going to bitch about politics intelligently in the future if he doesn’t know how bad it can really get?

Caulfield has a talent for bypassing the fluff, and getting straight to the issues of greatest importance.
