Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 30, 2016

Back trouble there, exercise boy?

Uh … shrinkage?

doncha just hate those low-flow shower heads?

So, run in your swim trunks. Its not like you’re going on a date.

Finally. Frazz is acting his age. Soon he’ll be telling the kids to get off of his lawn.

I red it too fast and almost missed it. (See what I did there?)

The last word explains it all

nope. what did you due?

Not back trouble. And the shrinkage is with the string on his swim suit. He can’t get the knot untied.

Just what are you running FROM, Frazz?

Beside triathloners are used to biking and then running in wet swimwear (although they are usually dry by the time of the run).

He needs someone to iron out his knotted muscles.

But what a wonderfully creative mind that can turn something that has happened to every male, and subtly express it as a pun. Pastis, eat your heart out.

While we’re on bad puns,What’s the unit for running 1/8 of a statute mile atone nautical mile per hour?A knot-furlong.

Ah, the golden days of childhood. At least once each summer I would have to break the string just to get out of my swimming trunks.

Last time we went swimming Hubby couldn’t untie the knot in his swimming trunks. I had to get a fork from the silverware drawer and pick at the knot until I could get it loose enough to untie.

Naked Frazz!! (can’t unsee!!)

I dunno, he says “knot” and holds his back. Also, in the final panel the trunks are clearly missing. I think he’s nekkid and in back pain. If not, it’s a failure of clear cartooning. Besides, he’s so skinny couldn’t he just yank his trunks off without untying them?

Just make like Alexander of Macedon.

A guy that slim with no hips could get the suit off even if the knot was tied.
