And let’s assume — or at least hope — that Frazz isn’t actually picking his nose.

Saturday Night Frazz

Cidu Bill on Feb 6th 2010

Keera: This isn’t a CIDU, because I get the joke. I’m just wondering about the 70’s reference to Sound of Philly. Or is there a new Philly sound these days - with strings attached?

We’ll Keep the Coffee Machine On For You

Cidu Bill on Feb 3rd 2010

Is Frazz saying that Groundhog’s Day is a made-up holiday (as opposed to, like pretty much every other holiday)? Isthere any significance to Tom Bodette? And why would what be better on Valentine’s Day?

Circus Peanuts

Cidu Bill on Feb 2nd 2010

Ed Rush: Google tells me that Circus Peanuts are a peanut-shaped marshmallow candy. This Frazz makes no sense in that context, so I’m wondering if “Circus Peanuts” is a recent slang term for some bit of male anatomy?

Dead Ant

Because a few people asked (and it took me a minute to get it myself): To a 7-year-old, the Pink Panther theme music can apparently be interpreted as “dead-ant dead-ant.”

Headache

Cidu Bill on Dec 23rd 2009

headache.gif

Okay, if I understand this correctly… Mrs Olsen gets a headache every Christmas season — it’s not stated in the comic that she only gets headaches only during the Christmas season, but that’s implied by the third panel — which the girl attributes to a pine tree allergy but which Frazz knows to be due to a Little Drummer Boy ornament? Which he knows about but Mrs Olsen hasn’t made the connection?

Several suggested this comic for the Geezers tag. Of course, the question here is how Caufield was able to identify (and date) the L’il Abner strip so easily. Oh, and “Back up a frame” could use a bit of explaining, thank you.

Horse Sense

Cidu Bill on Dec 7th 2009

spurs.png

SK: Isn’t that how spurs work? If horses didn’t “mind” them, there’d be no involuntary reflex to go faster. Its not like they want to be prodded by them, anymore then they want to run into a fence. And the horse farms in my area just use bordered fences, no barbed wire. This question is wrong every which way as all the assumptions behind it are incorrect.

Gettin’ Ziggy

Cidu Bill on Nov 25th 2009

ziggy.gif

Several people asked me — and rightfully so — whether it’s idiomatically common in some areas of the United States to refer to something failing or going out of business (in this case Gourmet magazine) as “getting the ziggy.” My best guess is that it refers to the recently-bankrupt financial firm Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner Smith and Ziggy, but I suspect that’s really a very poor guess.

Is he saying the grapes are so gassy that eating just a couple of them will lead to digestive distress?

Because a lot of garages don’t lock; so if you’re going to lock up your car at night because you’re afraid somebody’s going to steal it, you’re going to lock it up even if it’s in the garage.

Those Who Cannot Remember the Pastis…

Obviously a reference to former attorney Stephan Pastis, who draws the Pearls Before Swine strip; but is there an actual gag here, or just a gratuitous shout-out?
