Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 14, 2023

Yeah, teacher, I already did that.

Or was it named after a Muppet?

S-o—o-o-o . . . Caulfield is rating beans by their explosive potential? That’s a lot of . . . hot air.

Garbanzos cannot sing…so they Humus!!!

Is Caulfield Partly funny or f@rtly punny?

Humus is Greek frijoles.

Plum/prune

At least she has a sense of Hummus about it.

All foods have “alternative” names because people who live far enough a part are going to call the same food different things. You says toe-may-toe I say toe-mah-toe. I do not know anyone who says Poe-taw-toe.

If he thinks the alternate name for a garbanzo is mind-blowing, just wait until he learns about the toothfish and the slimehead.

Oddly enough, Cicero didn’t get his name because he was the gassiest orator in Rome.

Which came first? The chickpea or the garbanzo?

From now on I’m calling them garbombzo beans.

Now, class, what is the word in Latin …

Don’t superlatives end in “est”?

Caulfield didn;t notice she said “pee”?

Difference between a garbanzo and a chickpea? I’ve never had a garbanzo on me.

Garbanzos are yummy.
