Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 19, 2020

This is why degrees in history are important, kids – so that when we choose as a society to repeat history, we’ll be smart enough to know just how stupid that is.

Any good supervisor who also has kids (or volunteers with a kids program) will tell you there is not much difference.

The kid has yet to learn the difference between age and being grown up. This is Mallett’s text for today. I actually understand that generation that aged in a privileged time and had yet to experience anything but an inflated lifestyle.

History teaches us that people learn nothing from history.

Keep Distancing! Go about your daily lives, but don’t forget the main goal of not passing the virus.

We, as a society, seem to have forgotten the number one rule that so many of “The Greatest Generation” knew so well, and so many died for: “The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”

I’ve been following this strip for years and I don’t remember Mallett making such a direct link with current events.

Caulfield has learned what a lot of kids are learning. To their surprise, their parents are just a likely to throw tantrums as any child. But the kids can’t give parents a time out. Or can they? Turn about is fair play.

Also gonna be a lot of new revelations. Parents will find how little they remember from their school days. Children will come to see that their parents, once the source of all knowledge, might just need a little tune-up.

You’ve never heard your Parents say “Do what I say, not what I do”?

Where were the GOP when Snyder was letting the people of Flint die.He knew about the deaths from legionnaires disease.Ignored,and lied to get re-elected.Lock him up ;~|

what do you expect from a culture where people say with such pride “I may grow old, but I’ll never grow up”

I remember as a nearly-20-something the sinking feeling in my stomach when I realized that adulthood did not cure adolescence.sigh.

“Go back to normal”? When did this strip ever stop showing “normal”? Frazz has continued to hang out (unmasked) closely with his little “friends”, not only during school but during non-school hours, notwithstanding social distancing guidelines (to say nothing of normal standards of social behavior, which this strip always ignores).

“Just do as I say. Don’t do as I do.” Heads have rolled because of that.

It’s weirder, not more weird.

yell at the wind all you want but the nature of germs and human nature are simply not going to change that much.

Quoting someone else: “Mask it or casket.”
