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 went ice fishing once, caught a 10 pounder. But it melted when I tried to cook it.

One man’s meat is another man’s poison. One man’s fish is another man’s poisson.

The only Ice Fishing I ever want to do is going in the freezer to pull some frozen tuna steaks out to let them thaw!

The guys that go ice fishing around here (I’m not one of them!) actually DO pull a hut out onto the ice. They’re easily heated, and they’re elevated a bit off the ice, too, because they’re on skids. You can actually put anything you want in them. The huts are mobile, of course, so if one hole is bad, they get out their 4×4 and move it to another spot. I’m serious. Some of the guys around here take their ice fishing pretty, well, um, seriously.

I used to carry season fishing licenses in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Tried ice fishing a couple of times 30 years ago. Hated it, never did it again, never will.

If I want fish, I go to Red Lobster!

Ice fishing was invented by a man involved in a terrible relationship.
