Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 23, 2012
Transcript:
Caulfield: How come March, which is named after mars, comes before earth day, which is named after earth, which is closer to the sun? Mrs. Olsen: Because. Mars is named after a god and earth is named after dirt. Fight vague with vague, I say. Frazz: The god of war would be proud.

If the god of war is proud of what you say, you should probably be ashamed…

Hey, for once Caulfield got bettered! Good for her. It should make for more interesting times to come.

Or: Most Vulcans eat morning cereal just sporting underwear —no problem hoisting messy eggs.
Further: Michael Vick endured my canine’s jury statement: “Usually NFL players have more empathy.”
Or: My vicious, evil, mad Cyborgs just suppose unexpected new possibilities: humans might emerge!
Lastly: Most Visitors eventually must continue journey since United Nations prohibits humans marrying extraterrestrials.

Masterskrain… I was once given a T-shirt that said “If you can’t blind ’em with brilliance, baffle ’em with bull (bleep)…”I kinda like the alliteration…. :)
And pschearer, m’dear, once again you made me laugh out loud.

Actually March was the first month that the Roman army could march.

Personally, I’m starting to think they should rename this comic “Caulfield”, given the main character in most strips. Frazz is a cool guy, but Caulfield drives a lot of the humor.
@masterskrainLOVE the “dazzle” and “baffle” quote! Hadn’t seen it for a long time, either.
@wynotGreat mnemonics for the new planet rotations—made me smile.
