Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 25, 2023

Rain? The hats are for the sun.

There are so many who wear the same hat day after day and snugged down so tight I begin to think their hats are grafted on. Of course, with the one size fits all tag, a lot of them might need to be tacked on.

Don’t see that many anymore, at least around here.

One assume one can wear a baseball cap in more circumstances than playing baseball. Just as one can wear a pith helmet and…..

It may show my age but I get somewhat peeved at guys who keep their hats on inside, especially ballcaps, in restaurants

Many who wear them habitually will admit that they are a substitute for good personal hygiene. Can’t be bothered to wash or comb your hair…, baseball cap!

Caps help keep water out of the eyes when it’s raining!

No wonder so many men go bald…covering the hair all the time is unhealthy..and unhygienic..

Most winter caps don’t have a peak to block the sun. I’ve found that a ball cap with a neck warmer stretched up over your ears is the best winter gear. It good to almost zero F (-18 C) unless you are skiing or speed skating. At speed, the wind will freeze your forehead below about -10 C; and you need a balaclava.

I am 70+ years old and I do not give a $h*+ if they wear hats inside or not. It is nothing. A non-issue. MOX NIX 100% 230125we

@JeffMallett – they play in light to moderate rain, but not in heavy rain, snow, fog, bees….

PS- love the strip!

I NEVER wear a baseball cap, so the universe is in balance now.

I get the impression the ever present cap is similar to a Teddy Bear. A sense of security in some way. I’ve stuck with the Teddy Bear. My buddy.

They DO play in the rain.

I wear them in both sun and rain because the visor is effective at keeping sunlight out of my eyes and raindrops (and snowflakes) off my glasses. Maybe Caulfield will discover this if he ever has the need to wear glasses.

Why is Caulfield the only student there?

MLB games are rain delayed because the summer storms tend to include lightning… a danger to people standing in an open field.

as cowboys say, " there are only two things I take my hat off for…."

They rarely play baseball on ice, Caulfield, so why are you wearing a baseball cap ?

What in the Sam Hill is the significance of the last panel?

Had a lady stop and compliment me for taking my hat off in restaurant…just taught that way…kids do it also….old school I guess

The only time I wear a ballcap backwards is to keep the sun off the back of my neck (when walking away from the sun).
