Jef Mallett’s Frazz celebrates 5 years

Jef Mallett’s Frazz will turn 5 years old on April 2.

“Five years of Frazz is wonderful, but I think it says more about my readers than it does about me,” Mallett said. “I started this strip with the conceit that readers were smarter than a lot of features were assuming, and I’ve layered the humor to satisfy both the brains and the more casual audience. Turns out they’re all pretty sharp, and willing to work for their fun if I ask them to. And in turn, they keep me on my toes. I couldn’t ask for a better situation.”

Frazz is seen in 150 newspapers and is syndicated through United Features Syndicate.
