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.

Then a certain former president should be the smartest man in the world.

Not likely to happen. But he is qualifying for being the dumbest man in the world.

Except that he aslso asserted that by definition the president doesn’t make mistakes.

Record amount if tax dollars? Federal tax rates are the lowest they’ve been in decades, except for a slight boost in the upper bracket this year. Record debt? Considering every president has run a deficit, every president has set a record debt.

I know one thing for sure, the folks who like to argue politics on this site sure don’t seem to be geniuses
Thinking this is the appropriate forum for your agenda is a mistake, learn from it

And what does all the political vitriol have to do with what Frazz now has to clean up?

Jimmy Carter will never realize that goal.

Yes, Frazz, yes. You probably should be calling the fire department. (if you have to ask…)

It either involves fire or water. My best bet is water. Perhaps he flushed some of those instant-grow foamy toys down the toilet.

Head vibrating? Lemme check my chart… no, Frazz, what you need to do is call the FBI and then evacuate the school. And don’t look directly at anything orange!
