Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 13, 2017

Eating a sugary popsicle is also a good remedy for being tired.

How is running supposed to help feeling tired? He must mean running enough to get that second wind and runner’s high.

Tired and fatigued are not necessarily the same thing.

Physical fatigue can help you sleep better, which makes you feel less tired.

There’s a whole bunch of chemistry going on, and living physical systems improve by use rather than being preserved by inaction.

Living systems are counter-intuitive.

The cemetery is full of people that had good ideas at the time. Here , hold my beer and watch this.

If it is as hot as the little boy suggested, why go for a run? Going for a swim would help with the tiredness and the heat!

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. -Will Durant, historian (1885-1981)

Corollary: Maturity is the result of our eventual acknowledgment of our own ignorance in earlier years and the realization of our incredible good fortune in being able to look back and be improved by the experience. Lou Baker, 2013

This is a first: a silhouette panel in which the messy part is still its own color. Was that Popsicle radioactive?

@thewolfinyourmidst: very good thought and painful at times.

The best I can do is walk. I can run, but not for long. And have to make sure I don’t walk too far. And in this heat and humidity it is even harder.

Again I say unto you, Jeff/Frazz, I love your perspectives on LIFE! Thanks for sharing them in such an enjoyable comic.
