That's an easy no. You don't even like this bitch. But then, now that Team Evans has decided to "rehabilitate" Tiff's character, she is not allowed to say no to anyone who might ever, once in a while, be a little bit sad.

Frazz, the strip where he constantly talks about how magic and life-affirming running is but the artist routinely struggles with depicting this. Panel after panel of this dude with one foot firmly planted on the ground and all his weight placed firmly on that foot while the other leg flaps in the air.

Also everybody's doing jazz hands constantly to dress up the fact that it's a "two heads talking in a void" strip.

Frazz is among the worst.

Wasn't Frazz the character interdependently wealthy but chose to work as a school janitor to, uh, share his wisdom with kids?

not, you know, one of the positions where that'd actually be his job, but a janitor.

GoComics posted:

Frazz by Jef Mallett follows the adventures of an unexpected role model: an elementary-school janitor who's also a Renaissance man. While he's sweeping the hall, he's whistling Beethoven. Or Lyle Lovett. He paints the woodwork in the classrooms; he paints a Da Vinci on the cafeteria wall. He's a trusted authority figure who is every kid's buddy. He took the janitor's job while he was a struggling songwriter, and when he finally sold a hit song, he decided to stay on at school.

"A few years back, I wrote and illustrated a children's book," says Mallett. "When I was traveling around reading it at school assemblies, I noticed that often, the most respected, best-liked grown-up in the building was the janitor. And I thought, 'Hmm, there's a comic strip in that.'"

Drawing the last couple of comics, I have begun to feel the creative exhaustion lifting and a bit of focus coming back. Light duties are a great tonic, much better than a dead stop for me. Unfortunately, today (April 13th, long in your personal past) I also began manifesting our old friend “the Covid” so we will see if this rally continues or if I have to be boiled down for glue. You’ll be able to see based on activity in the “Upcoming Comics” list whether it was glue for me.
