Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 14, 2014

In MI, where this strip takes place, this is a much different winter than last year, that’s for sure……To be honest with you, it was the “not melting” part that caught us down staters by surprise…..That usually doesn’t happen…It just kept getting in the way…

Ou va-il?

Ever wonder if Mr. Mallet misses the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons and uses Caulfield to help himself reminisce?

Shouldn’t take ALL weekend to do homework. Common student complaint.

Exactly. What @Nabuquduriuzhur is witnessing is just some of the aspects of climate change, yet he wrote a whole book attacking it!  Ok, to be fair, IIRC he was attacking global warming because he is too single-minded to realize that GW is just one facet of climate change. It is important because it is a single variable that is easy to track and analyze and because it will eventually have some strong consequences.  But it’s a pity that many scientist have given so much prominence to global warming, because most of the population will be affected by other aspects of climate change decades before the GW part does.

Mrs. Olsen needs to retire. She’s losing it. In the early years of these comics, she would have doubled the assignment. Maybe that tumble she took in the driveway a couple of years back changed her.

She should assign Caulfield to “fact-check the near future.”

Sleet is a lot worse than snow. We got four inches of sleet last year. Made life miserable.
