Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 07, 2012

?

The Paris-Roubaix race is tomorrow. The coach is trying to say two racers’ names in the 2nd and 3rd panel — Philip Gilbert and Fabian Cancellara, both favorites (but neither is racing this Sunday). BTW, even if you don’t follow bike racing, try to watch Paris-Roubaix, which will be televised live on NBS sports on Sunday morning. IMHO it is far more exciting that the Tour de France.

Flea Pea – Phillippe

Chance of malaria = Cancellara

I get the explanations but the joke still falls flat.

Do you notice that in this strip, the guy who’s the smart jock works as a janitor, and the guy who’s the dumb jock actually has a full-time paying job in athletics? Kinda makes you wonder which one is which.

The Paris-Roubaix race is over cobblestones, so if you were to say the race name, or the names of the cyclists (mentioned above) while riding in the race, they might come out kind of funny.

Of course the smart guy isn’t in any hurry to take on responsibility of teaching BS to impressionable kids…it’s often inhumane and unintelligent…

By the way, that’s ONE of the reasons there are JOBS going unfilled? people had some time to smarten up a bit and see what a joke our “economic system” is…

I think we should leave race out of this….

Actually isn’t Frazz a song writer who has sold several songs to famous people and only works at the school because he wants to?

And Frazz isn’t teaching BS to impressionable kids; the kid just helping the teacher pronounce the names. Of course i didn’t know that until someone above explained it.

And what’s wrong with being a janitor?

My money’s on Egots Etchy Goober.

I was thinking “Flaming Pooh-Bear,” and what a great “Pearls Before Swine” comic that would make.

Too bad Flaming Chance-of-Malaria broke his collarbone last week and won’t be riding.

Like most typical jocks that become coaches, Coach Hacker is not too bright in the brains department.

Are there no cycling fans here at all? Philippe Gilbert is a favorite for the win at Paris-Roubaix, and Fabian Cancellara was too until he broke his collarbone last sunday at the Tour of Flanders.

Cancellara’s won before. Everyone teamed up on him last year.

Yeah, I only like intelligent sports like football with stars like Elegant Manchild and his brother, Patent Pending.

And it’s Tam Bananaman for the win!

The coach don’t RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
