Praise for Jef Mallett and his work"Jef Mallett fearlessly mines truths—sometimes uncomfortable truths—with humor and wit, and occasionally with a poignancy that can summon tears." — Gene Weingarten, "Below the Beltway" columnist for The Washington Post "I love Frazz—the way he deals with real problems and people, and makes it look so easy. He's a cool guy. Frazz says more in a few words than anyone on the comic strip page. I love him. Once you see Frazz talking about you, you know you've arrived." — Elmore Leonard, author "Whether you're twelve years old or pushing eighty, Frazz is the smartest comic strip going—sly, satirical, and unabashedly literate." — Carl Hiaasen, author "Following Frazz is like seeing my favorite racer winning every stage of the Tour de France. Just when I think Frazz couldn't be any cooler, he comes up with yet another funny truth to show me how spectacular the world really is." — Andy Hampsten, former pro bike racer |
