Which half-way, there or back?

Caulfield is always at least half full of it…

As long as the Principal doesn’t meet you halfway, you’re good!

Caulfield’s going to be a half-full glass when his school shuts down.

Actually, that’s not a bad question. It changes the dynamics for choosing to be optimistic or pessimistic. Be interesting to read some comments on its philosophical implications. For example, having to take some seriously bitter medicine or, similarly, being required to vote for your party’s candidate when you know he/she is a wrong’un. (The latter choice is soon to be faced)

You are talking to a manager.

So Caulfield gets a half of a word baloon in the last panel.

Don’t burn bridges, they tell me. What if, I ask, it’s a bridge to an open sewer running through a garbage dump, that’s on fire.

Where Caulfield didn’t want to go in the first place.

Would it disturb your metaphysical world if I told you somebody stole my glass?

The way I look at it, the glass in the question is the most versatile. A full vessel is useless if you want to put something into it, and an empty vessel is useless if you want to take something out of it. A glass at 50% capacity may not be ideal for either purpose, but it is useful for both.

He’ll be the next Douglas Adams…

Anyone notice the “logo” on Frazz’s shirt?

What do you call someone who looks at a half-full, half-empty glass and says it’s completely empty?

Are you a pessimist or an optimist if you were a philosophy major and you can’t get a job out of the food service industry?

Frazz14 hrs · Look, you can’t exactly explain this in the comics, but a good whisky or bourbon served neat, with a splash or on the rocks properly takes up a fourth, a third max, of its glass, certainly not half, while Diet Coke goes right up to the rim of something a good deal bigger. I believe I make myself clear as gin here.By the way, be grateful for the demitasse, or else you’d have had to read me going on about espresso yet again.

The look so much better in the old strips

Half way between the classroom and the principal’s office is where he enjoys being the most.
