Jef Mallet – the iron man cartoonist
Skip to comments
I knew and have even reported the various athletic events Frazz creator Jef Mallet has competed in. In fact, when I took up cycling last year and rode in my first 100 miler event, I thought of Jef. The Chicago Tribune has a pretty good article on Jef’s evangelism of triathlons.
When he’s in serious training, he uses the three-three-four approach, running three days a week, cycling three days and swimming four. On weekends, he rises early to do longer training sessions; on weekdays, he tries to get his comic strips finished early so he can run, bike or swim in the afternoon.
During the period when he was writing his book, he found his time management skills challenged as he continued to produce his strips and train for races. How did he cram it all in? “Really bad sleep habits for the most part,” he said. “I don’t recommend it.”
