Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 09, 2014

Merriam-Webster says the etymology of “brother” traces back to Ancient Greek, not Hebrew.

I feel so stupid. I totally don’t get this one

“Anybody who reads the paper knows that one.”

So…nobody his age? And few people Frazz’s age.

Hey – he’s found a way to have fun, and learning at the same tine..P.S. – Justjoking, you need a spell checker – it’s not Kelsey from Cheers. .8^) to all

I thought it was spelled “bro”

grammar.

I never, ever tire of Caufield and Mrs Olsen…now if only the crocs would come back!

Explaining everything — aka “Common Core” (aka “Pain In The Tookas”)

If only Caulfield had said “badly”, the sentence would have been a lot easier to parse. Given the books he reads, I don’t expect him to eschew adverbial forms.Better yet, “she so badly wants us to show our work in math, …” would have been instantly understandable, yes?

Thanks, Kev_A_Swing_Dancer. I was having real trouble understanding what Caufield was saying in that last panel when he made that parenthetical remark. If only it had been grammatically correct, as you pointed out, I would have understood it instantly. Whew!

Teacher should just grade the spelling and ignore the rest….its not that complicated, really
