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.

You mean MIT and the Swartz case.

Yeah, I see your point. One year we were often robbed by the son of a guy who worked for us. we were going to put a stop to this practice, but decided that the better choice was to give him free access to anything he wanted. We later agreed to cover his education expense too.

Never did understand why they call them fliers when they just sit there.
And while we’re at it, why are circulars rectangular?

If that’s his idea of relevant criteria, I don’t want to fly in anything he designs. I don’t even want anything he designs going overhead!

Isn’t he a little young for college selection?

Don’t take Caufield seriously on this.

The Swartz case was an abomination of police and legal overstepping and abuse of power.
