Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 31, 2014

Maybe John Williams is available.

I’m thinking…the theme song to Mission Impossible.

Maybe some Elton John, Sugar Bear.

I may be making an assumption here, but it looks like Caufield is having some ego issues.

Every hero needs a theme song.

Frazz appears to have a mountain bike instead of a road bike today. You can even see the knobby tires.

If you stop giving people grief, Caulfield, the life you save may be your own…

There is more than one way to save a life. Direct rescue is the most obvious, but as the last couple of days have indicated, there are others as well: give blood, stop a dangerous behavior, hold a food drive, raise money for Doctors Without Borders (or similar organizations), sponsor a child, etc.

bigpuma: They aren’t available, being dead. A successful movie composer of the ‘50s-’60s, upon getting an Oscar, wanted to thank his helpers: Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky", (the audence laughed). Later, he claimed he was quite serious..janinabarnes : Well said. I recall my “saving a life” story, which involved 40-50 but shouldn’t count. A summer camp had a rule that deep water privileges required swimming across the pool. Kids who had never been swimming would jump in, I would scrape them off the bottom and hand them up to those on the edge. They wouldn’t have jumped in if I weren’t there, but why sink straight to the bottom? What happened to the .9 specific gravity humans are supposed to have?
