So, I have two questions for those of you who come here every day to bitch about how much you hate Mallett and his work- how do you think you’re any different than him, and what do you aim to gain? You complain, day after day, about how he insulting any hobby other than his own, how he claims to be better than those who disagree with him, etc. And in doing so, you are, insulting the people who disagree with you, both by insulting Mallet himself, and by insulting his readers. You are exactly as elitist as he is, except your elitism serves even less of a purpose- Mallet entertains people. All you do is waste your own time. Secondly, why? What do you gain from it? Do you hope to convince other people of your views? Because you lost that chance a loooong time ago- people don’t even necessarily disagree about the idea that Mallet is elitist, they just dislike you a good deal more than they care about Mallet being an ass, because we come here to be entertained, while you come here to explain why our entertainment is awful and you’re so much better than he is.
@PIEMAN3.14 – The internet is a great place for people with an attention seeking mental disorder, remember negative attention is still attention
The only reason to go to a comic day after day and criticize it is to get a reaction from the fans of that comic, stop reacting to the Troll and you stop feeding that need
The problem is that it is impossible to get every single user of the internet to ignore Trolls, so they will always find someone to feed them
An adult outsmarted a child again? That’s progress! And in case anyone’s wondering – I like “Frazz.” I just think Mallett overdoes the brilliant, insightful children vs. clueless, stuck-in-their-ways adults dynamic sometimes.
http://www.gocomics.com/frazz/2017/10/08I try not to give myself too much credit for my good fortune, but I do try to recognize my good fortune. And one of the ways I’m so lucky is that I don’t think I’ve ever had to make use of one of those extended warranties they’re forever trying to sell you when you buy something. Oh, I’ve purchased a few of them, but never had to use one. I assume, though, that the process goes mostly like this: 1) Your thing breaks; 2a) You don’t remember having purchased the warranty, or 2b) you do but it just expired, or 2c) you do but you have no idea where the paperwork is, or 2e) you have a look at the paperwork and can barely wade through enough to find the number to call, let alone have any confidence it’s going to get any better when you do call; 3) something ending with “oh, the hell with it.”
I have had issues, though, with a few products I’ve bought from companies or retailers whose products and customer service I have found over the years to be quite good, and there was no third-party extended warranty even offered. The process went like this: 1) Product had a problem. 2) I e-mailed or call the company or retailer saying they might want to be aware of this; 3) they fixed the problem right away.
I’ve found this inspiring, and strive to give my readers only slightly inferior customer service. Here is my warranty: If you don’t understand today’s Frazz, or any other day’s Frazz, I will see to it that there’s a new one waiting for you the next day.

Does he also get Math credit for knowing what 10% of 25 is?

College level marketing? Caulfield might consider science and engineering.

I just come here for the mild amusement and wry (with ham) humor.

Why do I feel like I’ve seen this punchline in an earlier strip?
