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.

Kids are too dumb to know what to do with leftover cranberry sauce.
Personally, I think it makes an excellent bisque if heated to a rolling boil, allowed to cool and left on ice.

I LOVE cranberry sauce. I’ll eat it straight from the can. I’d rather throw away ice cream than good cranberry sauce.

French Vanilla ice cream topped with cranberry sauce is delicious!

I love the idea. However, I make a killer cranberry sauce which my kids have loved since they were little. We never had any leftovers.

Cranberry sauce is supposed to look pretty. It doesn’t do that too well. And beyond that it does nothing.

If you aren’t eating a chunk of turkey with a forkful of stuffing and cranberry sauce, you don’t know what you’re missing!

If you don’t like cranberry sauce, or liver or lutefisk, just don’t eat it. There’s no need to harangue those who do like it. They probably think your brand of beer tastes like a mare’s pregnancy sample.

Canned cranberry sauce is kind of unappealing. But if you make it from actual cranberries, it looks nice and tastes awesome.

Anything worth eating shouldn’t go “Schlorp!” when it slowly slides out of the can.
