Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 17, 2018

The shade of ‘brown’ for her eyes is kind of red. Off putting. Isn’t there a realistic shade available?

Are they supposed to match?

Well, I’ve received my daily dose of pretentious twaddle.

Either I look up Rothko and Mapei, or I ignore this strip and move on the Pearls. Pearls it is!!

I was told they do that to mask their own scent when hunting…

They match, they’re both socks.

As long as both socks had colors that match the jersey.

I thought Frazz would tell the audio equivalent. He loves music.

it seems to me that Jef Mallett gets paid by google or bing for producing the number of obscure searches that he creates to figure out this crap

Rothko was a New York abstract expressionist, two terms that suit Frazz. Although, as scherzo points out, Rothko painted rectangular images, I don’t see how his pied and vari-shaped attire would cause consternation. Let Rothko be Rothko; let Frazz be Frazz. It would be wrong for Frazz to dress in rectangles embedded in soft colors going to see Rothkos. Coals to Newcastle, you know. I remember when I used to advise poets to scan their verse in opticon skillometer. Many opined I had lost my mind, but that had happened long before. Sorry, I must go—they’re coming to take me away. I hope it’s somewhere nice.

I could hot find Mapei the painter or person.
