| Frazz (Comic Strip) | comment |
A daily comic strip by Jef Mallett about Edwin Frazier, nicknamed "Frazz" by the kids at Bryson Elementary School. He works there as a janitor, but is also very wealthy due to having written several hit songs. Most strips feature the day-to-day interactions between Frazz, the students, the teachers and the staff, though some will focus on Frazz's off-hours activities, particularly his triathalon training. Frazz is a well-read Renaissance Man, so strips will often include references to books, music, history, art, and pop culture, among other things.Regular characters include: Frazz - the star of the strip, a successful songwriter whose janitor job has turned from keeping himself alive while he writes to a source of further inspiration. He is respected by the kids and the school's staff, and regularly dates Miss Plainwell. Caulfield - an eight-year-old kid who regularly challenges Frazz and Mrs. Olsen with his literary insights. He's smart, but tends to get detention because it doesn't challenge him. Caulfield chooses a literature-themed costume every Halloween and regularly stumps the teachers, but Frazz tends to figure them out quickly. Jane Plainwell - a first-grade teacher and Frazz's romantic interest. Outside of school, the two frequently run in marathons together. Mrs. Olsen - a third grade teacher and a regular foil for Caulfield, who distracts her with insightful questions and comments in class. Mr. Spaetzle - the principal of Bryson Elementary. He is a kind-hearted man who enjoys the admiration Frazz gets, and strives to be like him. Mr. Burke - fourth-grade teacher and friend of Frazz's. They frequently play basketball together, but spend more of their time on the court talking about anything and everything than actually scoring any points. Several years into the comic, he also took up running. Coach Hacker - the physical education teacher, interested only in team sports. A former star athlete, he is now horribly out-of shape; he likes to compete with Frazz by comparing his favorite sports (football and hockey) against Frazz's (running and cycling). | |

Halloween Episode | |
| Frazz (Comic Strip) / int_297170d3 | comment |
Halloween Episode: Every year there's a week of Halloween-themed strips in which Caulfield dresses up as a character from literature, challenging the teachers to guess his identity. Frazz usually figures it out long before any of the others (if they get it at all). A couple of times, he's referred to an entire literary work through his actions, such as taking a new route to school for "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, or sitting on the swings with his dog for "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe. The 2016 costume storyline is confined to a single day's strip (10/31), in which Caulfield shows up for school in a high-altitude mountaineer's outfit. He tells a puzzled Frazz that he's a pop-up ad for a mountain expedition company, then adds as an afterthought that he could also symbolize the novels Into Thin Air and The Eiger Sanction. | |

Sturgeon's Law: In one strip, Frazz explains this to a kid using a real sturgeon as a metaphor: another fish comments that it seems to him that 90% of seafood salad is krab [sic], and the sturgeon replies that 90% of everything is krab.

Shout-Out | |
| Frazz (Comic Strip) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Countless references to literature, art and music. Not mention that Bryson Elementary is named after author Bill Bryson. Then there's Caulfield's name. More than one strip has mentioned Giantway, a mid-Michigan grocery chain which went under in 1992. The first Sunday strip has Frazz painting the cafeteria in kid-friendly parodies of Nighthawks, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, Michelangelo Buonarroti's Creation of Adam, Salvador Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, and The Last Supper, with the title panel (not shown in the linked page) featuring Frazz as the Vitruvian Man for a bonus. One early strip had a newspaper with the headline "Mr. Pastis' Pig Gets Loose." | |

Scantron Picture | |
| Frazz (Comic Strip) / int_d5d37e3f | comment |
Scantron Picture Caulfield does this as a Running Gag. He uses the dots to write out music notes, and later recreates The Mona Lisa. In one comic, Frazz and Caulfield are talking about standardized tests, and Frazz tells Caulfield that he once took a test that had bubbles from A to G. On its side, it's basically a blank piece of sheet music. | |

Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job | |
| Frazz (Comic Strip) / int_d67e900a | comment |
Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Frazz's original motive. Resulting in early strips where he explains why he keeps it now that the money is not an issue. | |

Book and Switch | |
| Frazz (Comic Strip) / int_da15653d | comment |
Book and Switch: Mrs. Olsen catches a kid hiding his personal reading inside the textbook, but lets it slide when she sees he's reading Mark Twain. The punchline is that he was also hiding a comic book inside Huck Finn. One strip has Caulfield hiding Shakespeare inside his primary reader book... on read-aloud day. | |

Sistine Steal | |
| Frazz (Comic Strip) / int_edd00feb | comment |
Sistine Steal: An early Sunday comic had Frazz painting the cafeteria in kid-oriented versions of various famous paintings, including the Creation of Adam featuring a cafeteria lunch lady spooning food onto a student's plate. | |

Picture Day | |
| Frazz (Comic Strip) / int_f411d63 | comment |
Picture Day: One story arc where Caulfield draws a goatee on himself in permanent marker the day before picture day. Resolved when the photographer uses a computer program to cover the goatee. | |
