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.

I grew up calling those things on the feet “thongs”. Now they’re “flip-flops”.

If you want to “rise and shine” in the morning, eat yeast and shoe polish the night before.

Me too. I still think of rubber sandals when I hear the word thongs, not bum floss. LOL

The lyrics change, but the thong remains the same…

Where I live (Pennsylvania), they were called “flip-flops” when I was a small kid in the late 1960s – early 1970s.

Isn’t a bisexual Filipino a “flip-flop”? ;-)

I thought whether you call it a ‘flip-flop’ or a ‘thong’ just depends on what part of the country you live in? Much like the soda/pop thing.

We called them zoris in the fifties – maybe it was a brand name.

“Every time I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong… so I have to say ‘I love you’ in a thong.”
