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.

Wouldn’t the work be past due if he is late, not early?

Now the first Sunday after Halloween. Heavily pushed by candy makers to let the kids stay out later collecting their goods.

Is Caufield becoming a teenager early? I swear he has that attitude.

Nah, Caufield is a legitimate know-it-all, as opposed to one who merely deluded by hormones.

People who think they know everything, are quite annoying to those of us that do.

I assume the similarities with last nights “debate” is purely coincidental.

Daylight Saving Time is usually abbreviated DST, not DLS. There are scores of countries who used to observe DST, but have stopped doing so. Several studies show the energy savings is trivial.
