Frazz by Jef Mallett follows the adventures of an unexpected role model: an elementary-school janitor who's also a Renaissance man. While he's sweeping the hall, he's whistling Beethoven. Or Lyle Lovett. He paints the woodwork in the classrooms; he paints a Da Vinci on the cafeteria wall. He's a trusted authority figure who is every kid's buddy. He took the janitor's job while he was a struggling songwriter, and when he finally sold a hit song, he decided to stay on at school. Frazz appears in 200 newspapers worldwide, including the Los Angeles Times, Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune and Detroit News. "A few years back, I wrote and illustrated a children's book," says Mallett. "When I was traveling around reading it at school assemblies, I noticed that often, the most respected, best-liked grown-up in the building was the janitor. And I thought, 'Hmm, there's a comic strip in that.'" Often praised for its intelligent wit, gentle spirit and effortless diversity, Frazz won a Wilbur Award from the Religion Communicators Council in 2003 and 2005 for excellence in communicating values and ethics.

Now those political ads are slippery and oily to the max.

The muddy footprints and mud clinging to her is a good touch.

BTW, Frazz……….You might want to keep that mop and bucket around for the next few months! That puddle is going to get deeper and more disgusting very quickly. And it’s not gonna be just mud! Might want to call for back up…

Except so many political ads are not true. I guess that is
obvious.

Ain’t that the sad truth? That’s the #1 reason I’ve only voted once in my adult life… I’d rather vote for a leader than for a spoiled little child that’s throwing a temper tantrum or saying “Nuh UH! HE did this and this and…” :-(

that is a nice touch with the mud! And your characters look real in the area of walking , running and throwing.
