Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 15, 2013
Transcript:
Mrs. Olsen: We all know how Frazz buys a ton of books for the library when one of his songs hits it big. Well. I happen to have hit it big myself. So...Everybody enjoy your brand-new pencil! Caulfield: I gather Mrs. Olsen plays pretty low-stake bingo. Frazz: Does she look like a risk taker to you?
