Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 23, 2011
Transcript:
Boy: Nice legs, Frazz. Just what is your sunscreen budget? Frazz: All of my ancestors looked like this. Boy: Vikings had triple-digit SPF lotion? Frazz: Right. They pronounced it bla siden tropisk plante bat. Boy: Did they wear those funny triathlon shorts? Frazz: Sure. Those caribou-skin tunics had to chafe big time.

I like that the characters are comfortable enough with each other to talk about the difference in their skin without any malice. A nice friendship.

Yeah, I could run my maternal line back another generation or two, but I can’t find the records and don’t read Sequoyah’s syllabary. Most of my gene pool blew over in early 1700s, but most of my American ancestors came from those who walked and/or paddled over 8-10,000 years before.
