Frazz: Cogito, Ergo Caulfield


Jef Mallett - 2013
    Olsen, by cracking wise-guy jokes and facetious questions; his reward is detention, where he gets to spend time with the equally quick-witted janitor Frazz. The two spend conversations discussing everything from math to literature with funny insight accessible to readers of all ages. This e-book original collection of "Frazz" strips compiles the most amusing--and most touching moments as the friendship between the unlikely pair develops. "Cogito, Ergo Caulfield" is not only a celebration of creativity and clever humor, it also includes exclusive commentary from "Frazz"'s creator, Jef Mallet himself. Mallet's work was nominated by the National Cartoonists Society for a Reuben division award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip in 2004, and "Frazz" has won two Wilbur Awards in 2003 and 2005, which honors excellence in communicating values and ethics. Indeed, within "Frazz"'s jokes and antics is the heart of the strip: an illuminative approach to learning, which is fun for kids and inevitable for adults.
