Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 31, 2023

You can buy tape that says “High Voltage”, too. I used to stretch some around my workbench, even though my projects never ran on more than about 12 V.

You can buy all KINDS of things. I have some of the yellow/black diagonal stuff. I’ve used it a couple of times, but it’ll probably be sold at a garage sale before we move…

Frazz is feeling the first tremors of a possible problem.

One Caulfield mischief event coming up.

I felt the same way when I realised I could buy a few hundred metres of cling wrap at Costco.

Not quite admitting guilt … but definitely arousing suspicion.

I didn’t do ! You didn’t see me do it! You can’t prove a thing! – Homer Simpson

The notorious Noodle Incident. No one can prove Calvin was involved, still.

Mr. Spaetzle can use it to secure his coffee to the roof of his car.

Another set of words we don’t want to hear.

A sense of foreboding overwhelms the room.

Hypothetically speaking …

As long as he doesn’t ask about chalk for making outlines on the gym floor.

Maybe Amelia from “Wallace The Brave” has been seen with another watermelon.

Aisle 17, Bay 4 at your friendly Plymouth Home Depot! :D

Get this kind and put it up around someone’s house at Halloween as an alternative to TPing it. https://www.amazon.com/Roll-Products-142-0006-Biohazard-Warning/dp/B008UB8FDA

Subtle hints are abounding.

One of these days I’m going to go to a supply store and get a large plastic tub, ten gallons of the best solvent they have, and a tarp. I don’t need them for anything; I just want to see the look on the cashier’s face.

‘…but it is an elementary school, and has kids like Caulfield.’

Now wait a minute. Unlike most comic strip brats, Caulfield doesn’t normally do nonverbal shenanigans.

Always nice to have a heads up. If his “oops” plan didn’t work today, you may need that tape tomorrow.

Periodically my wife asks me what I want for my birthday/Christmas/anniversary/etc. I always tell her “I already have too much stuff. I want to get rid of some of it.”

Well, the application I’m familiar with is decorating the set of an outdoor walkthrough Halloween show.

They call it tape, but it is not sticky.

Apparently, inspired by Caulfield, between panels 2 and 3, Frazz said the same thing to Mr. Spaetzle that Caulfield said to him in panel 1.
