Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 19, 2012

Talking about infamous Richard Nixon.

Ol’ country boy to the last…

Actually, he was talking about Gerald Ford, who was at that time House Minority Leader.

And Nixon was smarter than LBJ, anyway.

Somehow I doubt a real child of that age (or any age) would really have that much of a problem saying “fart”, even to an adult. The real reason she can’t say it is not that she’s young or that she’s at school, but because she’s on the comics page. Bill Watterson even had trouble when he used words as mild as “booger”…

I used to hate Nixon with a passion, but it has faded…And in this political climate he would be called a liberal….Combined, Pacopuddy and Randy have it about right, though

Intelligent in some respects, but not smart enough to play fair. I’d prefer an average person with integrity over a brilliant but untrustworthy person any day.

It was regarding Gerald Ford and from what I heard the original “can’t walk and chew gum at the same time” was the sanitized version …. maybe the original was indeed, “can’t fart and chew gum” (and what kid doesn’t know what “fart” means – would they say “pass wind”?) LBJ was indeed vulgar and probably would love South Park today

Reminds me of the time Betty Ford was asked what sort of birth control she & Jerry used. She replied that she simply gives him a stick of gum!

I never hated Nixon. He was the coolest President we ever had. “Tricky Dick” was the best.

A quote allegedly attributed to LBJ was, "It took me 30 years to learn to say the word “Negro”, and they go and change it on me to ‘black’.

During the Kennedy administration, all the Kennedys liked to mock LBJ behind his back. Supposedly, Jackie Kennedy called LBJ and Lady BIrd “Colonel Cornpone and his little porkchop.” Bobby Kennedy hated J. Edgar Hoover almost as most as he hated LBJ, and he enjoyed calling Hoover “J. Edna Hoover.”

Actually your NOT a “paranoid” if they REALLY ARE “Out to GET you.” They WERE, they DID!

I actually have a 3rd degree connection to Richard Nixon. Seems my wife’s family and the Nixon family shared a house in Washington DC for part of a year when he was a CA congressman. By all accounts I’d heard, he was a charming and humorous person.

And now we have a president that thinks we have 57 states, GOD help us.

Are you claiming that “intelligent” and “criminal” are mutually exclusive?

jcm1655, so now we have people who believe the president thinks there are 57 states………that’s even scarier…especially since you know in your heart it’s not even true and was just a misstatement…………RawMoney has measured all the trees in Michigan, and has claimed that all the trees are the right size. Right out of the shoot he show’s he’s wrong. For me they are never large enough, for him the right size is when they are chopped down….better think these things through a little more, dude….

Nice to hear comments about Pres. Nixon that don’t come from the news media. After losing an election in ‘60, from ballot box stuffing, in two states, I’d be a little bitter too. Watergate wasn’t even breaking and entering, let alone high crimes and treason. What a hatchet job.

I never heard it phrased that way, and I lived through it. He was always an “unindicted co-conspirator”; I think you’ve assumed the “CRIMINAL” part of the sobriquet from the nature of the acts. As to your glowing memory of the Democrats and your silly dis of Republicans, well, I guess we know who you’re voting for in November.

Why does Frazz have a boxing glove on the end of his weed whacker?

The break in was not the big crime, it was the massive coverup afterwards.

The comments are meant to be about the strip. Please take your political debate elsewhere.

My saying is, “Paranoia doesn’t keep you from having enemies any more than hypochondria keeps you from getting sick.”

That was LBJ referring to Ford.
