About Frazz
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.

Paige just tried something similar on Foxtrot Classics. Must be catching.

“I blame the…”. Perfect commentary on our society – No accountability, no one loses, no one is to blame. (sigh)

@Stratmanron
So, you’re saying you blame society?

It also doesn’t work when you tell the teacher the truth: There aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the homework you people assigned. I do have to sleep, eat and use the bathroom, you know."

I told the truth once and I was set free, from a job I had. Careful how you tell the truth, it is potent.

@Night-Gaunt49,
We are told, in Scripture: “Know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” The problem does, of course, lie in how we present to others, what we come to know ourselves. But, in the end, being FREE may well turn out to be far better, in all ways, than a life of blind fear and obedience to superstitious ignorance, and arrogantly stubborn stupidity, just to “get along”.

You know, people SAY they want honesty, but then you tell them the truth about what you think of them and what they want you to do, and they get all angry!
