Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 26, 2015

Is the little cuss rocking some shell-toed adidas?

I didn’t think Caulfield would get mark-ups on his book reports.

I once had a teacher give my assignment an F only because I used a red ink pen.

And the bigpuma caufield complaint in 5….4….3….2….

A whole page written in red is hard to read for me, Which is also a good tactic.

Is it Wednesday?

When I was teaching, the first time it happened, I just corrected it in blue or black pen, with comment. The second time, I handed it back to be re-done. The third time, the paper got no credit.

Same reason to wear a brown shirt if you chew tobacco, right?

Yeah, Mrs Olsen wasn’t born yesterday.

Well, I doubt that you were referring to me, but my username and avatar are a reference to the old PC games Myst and Riven, which were popular in the late 1990s.

Caulfield playing a game of solo tetherball? Sad — sad — sad.

Hey Scoonz…. I feel chagrined that you did not as me about the origins of my nickname! Am I too unimportant or uninspiring? I feel like a failure. [big, furry-faced grin] I am hoping you know I am just joshing around. I like your comments, and look forward to reading more of them and getting more of a conversation going.

My mom wouldn’t have accepted the paper, my dad would have required it to be typed, and I would correct it in black ink.
