Hooray for Frazz and Caulfield! It is not “wrong” to debate a teacher when you disagree. School still teaches the teachers, even those with 40 years’ experience. The privilege of guiding one brilliant mind will give you pleasure until you die, for you will learn as much as you teach.
Ahem! Footnotes are NOT reader comments. You are fooling yourself if you think this stuff educates anyone. The comics are simple entertainment. Fun, relief from the days events, enjoyed by many. It would be a travesty to try and change comics into anything else. :-)
If there’s one thing Jef Mallett can do better than just about anyone, it’s drawing people in the throes of the ecstasy they find in knowing they’re smarter than other people.
First thought for this banjo picker was a song sung by Bob Gibson, Offbeat Folksongs Riverside Records : The Pig & the Inebriate: “You Can tell a man who boozes by the the company he chooses, & the pig got up and slowly walked away”

Adding a bad assumption to a bad assumption doesn’t work any better than two wrongs making a right, Caulfield.

I wonder if Frazz used to footnote her back when he was in school.

In inverse proportion to the amount of folding money you have on you?

Yeah, can anyone explain the first footnote to me? The second one as well, while you’re at it…

The first two panels don’t fit, as to logic.
