Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 28, 2015

Ah. Precocious children. Salinger is well pleased.

It’s going to be a really short ride to the lesson if Frazz doesn’t move his foot out from under those shears quickly…

Climbing trees is a kid bucket list item for sure. Who has not climbed a tree or pretty much anything that looked climbable as a kid?

Are children allowed to climb trees these days? Will the parents be charged for allowing that?

My wife and I work at the same place. I was checking with one of the higher-ups on getting her schedule changed. He said, “Look at you, pulling strings”. I told him, “While you’re at it, go ahead and give her a raise.” Now we get to my axiom: If you’re going to pull strings, might as well grab a whole handful.

At least she got a schedule change out of the deal.

My biggest mistake was learning the “Hey y’all, watch this !” phrase.

If you don’t bleed for it, it ain’t worth doing.

My high school band director used to tell us, “If you’re going to make a mistake, do it with confidence.” Then he fell off the reviewing stand.

Once had the good fortune to see Motorhead live. Realized that among other things they had to teach younger bands: if you’re gonna be that loud, you’d better have something to say.
