Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 17, 2016

True, but be honest, doesn’t that Dairy Doodle Dandy bring back some sweet childhood memories?

Frazz eats unhealthy food? I would have never thought it could happen!(But he does seem to have a big heart.)

Frazz is a nice person!

Poor kid. Remember when Caulfield popped the bag in class to try to cheer her up when she was so sad because of her parents? I think her name is Allison.

Those are mighty big ice cream cones!

Nice strip today.

There’s a Dairy Queen in Charlotte that still has a grinning Eskimo holding a Dilly Bar on top of it. Sadly all of the Tastee-Freezes I knew of are gone.

@Nos Nevets, link please? I’ld like to see that Keillor content.

@seed_drill, the last Tastee Freez in NC is in Asheville that I know of.

There is a Tastee Freeze in Milton Florida

In the Air Force it was F4 tape and safety wire.

I drove a Mr. Softee truck one summer, but that and Dairy Queen and Tastee Freez aren’t real ice cream..“My daddy was the manager of a Howard Johnson’s!”.When I was a kid, there was a local dairy that did their own ice cream. But my favorite was when we made our own at home, using a hand-cranked freezer. 8^)

my daddy.I bet you were very popular!

One of my favourite episodes of “The Twilight Zone” was where a little girl went shopping, all the while her original parents were bickering and fighting all along – until the show’s climax, where the original parents stop bickering and fighting, learning an important, painful lesson.

My parents fought – not just verbal, but physical, violent fighting – and I have demons (some may call it PTSD) that I have to cope with every day.

Ice cream is a very temporary measure, but nothing beats love. Sadly, love seems to be in short supply and hate seems to be dolloped out in big scoops these days….

….sorry, baggage.

pumamanI had a friend who was an artillery spotter in Korea. He was prowling around in the back of his T-6 and found a notice that his plane was to be removed from service as no longer airworthy.

Hmmm. I wonder if there was a connection.

This is a cool strip. I love Frazz’s expression when he realizes that this is a problem that he can’t fix.
