Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 18, 2014

It’s OK. I like mush…with apples and cinnamon.

Geeze, it’s a series of final moments of a school year….Moments happen all at one time, but you can only illustrate them singly…And for the record do I find it interesting…and funny….This one offers a little insight into the relationship between Frazz and Ms. Plainwell……Again, .Interesting and funny….

If you go back to the earlier years of this strip, you can see when Frazz and Ms. Plainwell got together. That is a cute story arc. As is this one.

Not tired of it at all, although I my favorite strips are always the Mrs. Olsen and Caufield interactions.

Would a room by room floor stripping series be any less repetitive? I’m glad when an artist is inspired. I’m even more glad when he’s inspired to do different things over the course of a few months rather than the same thing every day…

Why would this arc end soon? It’s a strip based in an elementary school which would otherwise be on vacation until September.

I don’t find it repetitive, any more than Art Linkletter’s “Kids say the darndest things” segments (yes, I’m old). Low-key, yes, and no big punch lines, but pleasant.

I like it, too; I find these same-subject one-on-ones with Frazz just as entertaining as the strips moving faster. It’s a nice change of pace. (No artist can ever please everyone.)
