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.

There was a lot to like about The Big Lebowski – the Busby Berkeley sequence was great – but one small detail in particular gave me such a personal thrill; the soundtrack included a song by Yma Sumac from the album Voice of the Xtabay!!!
I couldn’t believe it when I heard it! My parents had that album, and I listened to it over and over again. It was mesmerizing, transporting, magical! But, I never knew anybody else who had heard of it. So I was just tickled pink to hear one of the songs in the movie. I’m so happy the album isn’t forgotten!

Absolutely one of the best comedies,ever! Jeff Bridges comedic timing was great along with John Goodman. The scene with Goodman bailing out of the moving car was hilarious!
I use, “The Dude abides!” all the time . Nobody knows what I’m talking about but it’s fun to use.
