Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 10, 2014

He should move to Hawai’i. YEAR ROUND BUGS

Gish is a new one for me too. I don’t get the onomatopoeia.

“fly”. Didja get it, didja get it?

Squish?

“How’d that fly” what? Speak in full sentences!!

@nosirrom;

Lillian? Izzat YOU??

“gish”. Little-kid-speak for squish. Like “Basketti” for spagetti.

“Gish”? Frazz used to concern itself with proper use of language, remember?

I’m in SoCal… What’s a “bug?” :)

As I recall Grace Hopper telling it, the first “bug” was a moth found gished in a relay of the Mark I computer at Harvard. Since The Mark I was a Navy project, naturally there was a log, so the moth was taped to a page. Supposedly that page is on display at a naval museum in Annapolis.

I’m in South Florida. Bugs here 12 months of the year. But what the heck is “gish”? He’s a smart kid. He couldn’t be pronouncing “squish” wrong.

“Gish” is the prime pluperfect tense of “to goosh”, meaning sto squish into goo.

I’d respect Caldwell more if he didn’t act so callously towards other living creatures.
