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.

It’s “uniquely Human” to WEAR Underwear, not to mention Outer-Wear.

Briefs look the same when you wear them, whether folded or merely tossed in a drawer.

Unless you happen to be an underwear model.

Unless you need to match them, socks, too, don’t really need folding. If you live by yourself, a drawer is all you need,

Lol, thanks Jeff! How true and insightful. I reluctantly use Facebook to keep in contact with family who use it more than I do, BUT I HATE internet social networking.

Only the twisted mind of a psycho OCD neat freak can see any reason to fold underwear.
