CSotD: Sunday Rerun: Frazz, June 12, 2002
Skip to comments
The only cartoon of which I own the original. When I interviewed Jef Mallett for my newspaper some years back, I mentioned this particular strip as an outstanding example of making demands on readers, which is typical of Frazz. What's wrong with asking the reader to pause and think for a moment? I do have to admit, asking them to catch three cultural references in four panels is asking a lot. And I'm good with that.
A few days after the interview appeared in the paper, the original of this strip appeared in my mail, and we've kept the acquaintance up. In fact, I did a video interview with Jef at his home a few months ago, one of the rare times I've converted an online friendship to the three-dimensional. (One of several Frazz collections, and another of Jef's books, are noted in the sidebar.)
