Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 28, 2017

At least the child (whoever that is) was smart enough to bring a hat.

April showers bring May flowers …. and more weeds

That would explain the smell.

It’s just the lake turned sideways

“April; if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute!”

dry as a bone

We’ve had rain almost every day in April. I can tell it’s spring, though, because the weeds are popping up in the yard. Yay, Spring!

“April showers.” Yeah, right, it hasn’t hinted at a drizzle here for 2 months and probably won’t rain again until October…

In April don’t take a stitch off, in May do as you like. (translation from the French)

We in Houston have had heavy rains recently. Highs are now in the 80’s and it is still cooler by nearly 20 degrees for a little while longer.

Yeah. Cold and cloudy in SF today. But in the 60s and 70s next week with nary a cloud in the sky.

Love the art today.

Comic strip writer/artists love to pick on old cliche sayings like this. And to be honest, many of them have bothered be for quite some time. But then I realized that many of them come from someplace and some-time that is not where I am and that probably had different weather conditions, and that they most certainly have a heavy dose of observation bias.

It’s rained here twice since spring.

…once for thirty days, and once for forty days.

Every. Single. Year. Twice. A. Year.

It is pretty cool artwork. Wonder how he does it? Does he lightly sketch in the figures, then mark in the streaks of rain?
