Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 01, 2024

The Latin word for two is Bi. The Latin word for wheel is Cyclus. So …

Wow! A dad in the 3rd panel.

Wow, the wisdom of a “janitor”. Like the janitor in Outland and the janitor in “For Better or Worse”. Wisdom beats smart any day.

Nice way to wrap that conversation up Frazz!!

riding my bike in a cross wind just sucks.

School motto: video, audio, disco

try being a bass drummer in a parade on a windy day

Latin doesn’t mean “from Latvia”.

Latvia means that in Latvia they speak via = “By way of” “Latin”

what are these kid’s parents smoking?

Oye Jef. Just BRILLIANT. More of a Frazz super-fan every day.

How to tell a kid she’s smart without coming right out and saying it.

It would appear the child is overqualified.

“If there’s no wind, row.” Very good statement for ‘adapting to changed circumstances.’

The unclosed quote marks in panel 4 are making me twitch.

If there is no wind, why row?….I’ll just keep fishing, thank you very much. It’s the reason why I’d row such a primitive boat on a lake to begin with, and it’s much easier to row without a strong, pesky wind :0)

Really? In cross winds, I would think it BLOWS.

Well, I had to look it up. I knew Latin wasn’t from Latvia but where did it come from? The Latini who settled in Latium. Who knew? Not me.

Latin means ‘from Latona, North Dakota’, right?

Even if you already know the material, you may still find the coursework onerous.

Reminds me of a song when I was a kid. Note the lyrics about “at least it’ll go when I row, row, row,” after passing the sailboat that ran out of wind and the power boat that ran out of gas. Enjoy: >

Doesn’t bicycle mean two wheel in latin?
