Frogger

chemgal sends this in: “This is more of a “child I don’t understand.” If you’re not familiar with the authors, a quick search will turn up the books being referenced, but even if Caulfield is supposed to be exceptional, he’s what, grade 4? This stretches my suspension of disbelief.”

Boise Ed also sent this one in: “The first two panels are good. It’s the third one that puzzles me. My friend Mr. Google tells me Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author who studies how people find motivation and meaning, and Daniel Kahneman was an Israeli-American psychologist best-known for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making as well as behavioral economics. I can only guess that the book-report assignment was on a title of the student’s choosing, and Caulfield may have chosen a book by one of those psychologists. Maybe he wrote something frivolous and is counting on Mrs. Olsen liking the origami too much to unfold it.”

Veterans Day

Some repeat comics from past Veterans Days, with a couple of additions. It’s a good day to remember.

This one Bill marked “UDIC Frazz Veterans Day” . It was posted as https://cidu.info/2018/11/09/udic/

These two we noticed on sequential days in Maria’s Day. Since that strip is on a reruns cycle at GoComics, the actual dates of the recent appearance were 31 August and 01 September, but apparently the original publication was on 10 and 11 November of some year.

Caulfield Guessing Contest: The Big Reveal

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.

And the winner is ….

That matchless short story, Jack London’s “To Build a Fire”, was mentioned earlier, so take a bow on that guess.

I guessed Shackleton earlier, but that’s Frazz’s costume, not Caulfield’s. In fact, Caulfield himself isn’t in costume, which seems to bend the rules a bit.
