Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 10, 2021

I love the sound of the 5th wall being broken in the evening. (Because they’re talking ABOUT breaking the 4th wall)

Oh well, at least they aren’t being hastily quartered.

Hastily drawn but I like it.

Enjoy:

Look, Ma. No mouths.

Apparently, cleaning woman, Clara Clifford, discovered that Claude Cooper, a kleptomaniac from Cleveland copped come clean copper clappers that were kept in a closet.

Okay – Hastily drawn – No Mouths – communicating telepathically? – the alliteration in panel 2 looses some of it’s “punch” if not said aloud.

I recently bought some Hokas, but I thought Frazz wore minimalist shoes?Hokas are not minimalist (can be low drop though).

Sounds like Johnny Carson!

I know Jeff and Stephan take the occasional jabs at each other but they shouldn’t put each other out of their jobs.

Mr Mallett, I don’t care for it. Do your usual, delightful drawing, please.

Some days I do feel hastily drawn.

he looks even more like Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes) when hastily drawn.

Wolverton Mountain, que no? But Clifton Clowers instead of clover. And I prefer Altras Lone Peak 5.0

A Pastis tribute, I’m guessing.

Sharpening flexible cleats on running shoes? No tee shirt logo? No mouths? Quirky day’s work, but not unusual for Mallett.

I haven’t seen a reel type lawn mower in 50 years.

Took me a minute but I appreciate it.

Yes, there is a subtle lack of detail. The Hoka lugs are too soft, try inserting double edged razor blades round the outer edge of your shoes, and walk the grass down to the proper height.

Be on the lookout for very large, glowing carrots in the neighborhood.

Huh? Who or what is Clifton?

I wonder if they feel drawn together or maybe just drawn out.

Don’t ya wish your strip was as popular as “Pearls”, don’t ya wish your strip weren’t so obscure, don’t ya

Jef, some days you’re sharp, and some days you need to get out the sharpener.

I looked long and hard for a Pastis signature hidden somewhere!

It Henry syndrome (no mouth).

7-11 celebrates July 11 as free slurpee day at least in Canada. Covid converted it to a coupon good any day in July though to keep everyone from being there on the same day, but on the up side, it’s larger than the typical free one.

Hey, I wear Hoka’s, and I’m nowhere near the runner that Frazz is! (Not Cliftons though, those ones hurt like crazy with the mountain in the middle of the sole. Bondi all the way!)
