Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 11, 2021

After all, you have to show him the right stuff. (Yeah, I know — different Tom Wolfe. But still…)

It’s not possible for even a dedicated savant to know everything. Though some of those Jeopardy contestants get pretty close. The only way a teacher can stay ahead of the kids is to make sure they stay on the planned track.

Well, when Who’s on first, What’s on second and I don’t know is on third, how can anyone go home??

I think it was Rob Petrie who said “that after Thomas Wolfe wrote about his family he couldn’t go home again.”

Caulfield 1: Olsen 0. Her safest reply would have been: Yes, and they would welcome the return of a well-known author. It would be same as for any uni that included a famous person among their grads. He just caught her when she was concentrating on the chalk board, his favorite ploy.

I thought “all roads lead home”

To answer Caulfield’s question, yes the University of North Carolina will have homecoming the first weekend in November!

According to Wikipedia Thomas Wolfe went to University of North Carolina and Harvard, both of which have Homecoming weekends, so evidently only Thomas Wolfe cannot go home again.

I would think that a teacher would be familiar with that Thomas Wolfe quote. It’s a part of popular culture

Why are all of the other desks empty?

Straw men make the best target practice.

The first panel covers it all. The rest is for the uneducated.

That Caufield sure is well read

Kid really enjoys keeping his teacher on her toes.

“Thomas Wolfe was wrong. You can go home again. Frequently to remember why you left in the first place.”

She really should have expected that.

Schools are free to disagree with their graduates. The Wharton School of Business does not support Trump.

Okay, now I believe she never took a foreign language.

Yes. Yes, they do.
