Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 17, 2019

“The early bird gets the worm, but the first mouse gets the trap.”

Unless you’re the lead sled dog, the view never changes AND you get broken wind.

Oh, Scherzo, we need a pithy comment about juvenile humor over here…

Her last statement is illogical , it is the opposite of her intent

If you are not working with the pack, you are just breaking wind.

“A sucker is born every minute, a jackass is born every second!” -my cousin, J. K Johnson

Unless you are the lead dog, you only see @§§#ol€$ in front

How about “Don’t consider it breaking wind, realize you’re blazing a trail!”

Which still sounds awkward. Nice job Jef.

Heard the sled dog comment in a Jeff Foxworthy routine. Still funny and similar to the one about being first mule in a team. Like the old saw says: if you’re not the solution, you most likely are the problem.

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“No memory is ever alone; it’s at the end of a trail of memories, a dozen trails that each have their own associations.” Louis L’Amour

“It’s the way you ride the trail that counts.” Dale Evans

On the tundra there is no lead dog, its a fantail configuration. Inline is for where there are trees.

Is Frazz a smart feller,or a fart smeller ;)

Good one!

I am also confused. The one blazing the trail IS the one “breaking wind”.

How many of those plaques would they sell? Farty.

Now I have a problem with having to decide when to wear my “windbreaker” coat.

But with the dog it’s the same as the biker. It takes more energy to break fresh snow.

http://www.gocomics.com/frazz/2019/11/17Maybe it’s a regional thing, or maybe I just didn’t get out much, but I first became familiar with the phrase “breaking wind” in the bicycle racing context. It took me a while to figure out what all the smirking was about. And I still don’t really get it. Farting doesn’t seem so heinous that it needs an elaborate euphemism, especially one that sounds almost like some kind of sports injury.

All the same, I’d buy that kid’s plaque.

So many uptight American and those with glass psyches are bothered by its very mention. Think it is the worse thing since flogging.

Thanks so much, Jef, for yet another poot joke. Bleah. And no, her new mottoe doesn’t make sense. The lead dog IS breaking the wind resistance.
