Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 14, 2020

If not for bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all, Jerry Reed, I think…

Life is all risk, even when we try to hide.

Luck doesn’t have a positive OR negative sign.

“If I am not failing I am not trying”

The more I try to fail the more I succeed!

See:Born Under a Bad Sign, Lightnin’ Slim 1954 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_Under_a_Bad_Sign_(song)

If one never dares, one never learns

But take SENSIBLE chances. “Work on discovering something new” is a sensible chance. “Selfie on cliff edge” is not a sensible chance.

I rarely subscribe to dialog-driven cartoons (prefer visual humor), but this week’s series is one of the reasons I have been enjoying it.

Chance favors the prepared mind. – Louis Pasteur

The hard work goes both ways – we work hard to minimize the impact of bad luck, and we work hard to take advantage of the benefit of good luck.

Are you feeling lucky, Frazz? Well, are you?
