Chemgal sends in this first Monday Frazz comic, so we can start guessing what Caulfield is going to dress up as for Halloween.
Tuesday’s not much help.
And now, day 3:
Day 4: our last clue.
Get your guesses into the comments!
Caulfield Guessing Contest: Day 1, 2, 3 and 4
Comics I Don't Understand 
Now it occurs to me that we also need to figure out what Frazz is!
Please don’t let it be the Donner party. Please!
Maybe one of the Everest expeditions? Miss Plainwell as the Everest summit bait. Frazz as a leader, maybe Rob Hall who got stuck in the storm (ice bucket) and died on Everest, as written up in the book Into Thin Air.
Caulfield does say it is a classic rather than some of the real-life guesses. I’ll go with “The Call of the Wild” only because I’m not familiar with any novels set in the Arctic. I do have one complaint about the setup and that is Frazz being stupid enough to run directly under the basket where a kid, who should be in class, is standing there holding a rope. He should see Caulfield, the rope and the bucket and would go around it.
I have to agree with Unca $crooge on all counts.
I’m guessing it’s an incident from the short story “To Build a Fire,” by Jack London.
Lost in A**2 has my answer.
“And it ain’t a fit night out, for man nor beast.”
If it’s “To Build a Fire,” it will be the first time Caulfield has repeated himself. He used that in 2014.
@beconingchasm: I think I’ll go out and milk the elk.
