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.

His name is Caulfield

Oops, sorry. My mistake. Not Caulfield. I think his name has been used, but can’t remember and haven’t found it searching online… yet

Scary part is, it looks like that whole setup might actually work!

He is setting himself up for the Thrill of victory or the Agony of defeat.
At an early age he is into T & A.

I don’t know… Shouldn’t he be trying to jump a shark?

Nah, I think Calvin would’ve had the snowgator eating a snowman. But they definitely should collaborate!
