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.

All things in their proper place. Brown steak and green salad, fine. Green steak and brown salad, not so much.

I agree. Green is unnatural, for kids nowadays real drinks are bright pink, orange, or even brown or blue with bubbles. Anything else is disgusting. Go for it, Frazz

those smoothies like naked or odwalla are pretty good. although the grass one that they sell in health food stores is really nasty.

Remember, George Carlin once asked; “Why is there no Blue Food?”

Seen on a bumper sticker: “Red meat isn’t bad for you. Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.”

I had never heard this routine of Carlin’s before.
Thanks. (It’s funny, but it’s typical George when it comes to language.)

Maybe not in Chicago, where you can still find Green River. Yum!

The suspension agent in your chocolate milk is carageenan, which is made from pond scum.
