Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 02, 2023

Want to eat for a lifetime? Don’t leave your parents house.

Spouse had weird parents. She loved fishing. Her younger brother hated it. But “Fishing is for boys” so dad took her brother and very seldom allowed Spouse to come along. Some of her best memories are of fishing trips when everybody was in the cabin and she could fish along with her dad. Who apparently never caught a clue.

Keep reminding!

I grew up going on fishing trips. “You catch ’em, you clean ’em” was the rule. Could clean ’em like a pro when 5 years old.

The phrase includes S the word “man.” Obviously this character is a girl (note the hair clip), ergo she is not going fishing!

Sad but true.

Cat’s in the cradle, fish in the river…six of one, half-a-dozen of the other.

New character, or am I behind?

Teach a man to fish and you can hire him to fish for you and take his fish.

Yet another BRILLIANT Frazz comic. Thanks Jef

Keep teaching? But it’s so unrewarding, when there are kids like Caulfield in your class!
