99 Percent Perspiration: A Frazz Collection Kindle Edition

by Jef Mallett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 68 ratings

Here's a strip to savor, doubly immersed in squeaky cleanliness and a knowing grasp of second graders' cool universe."

Frazz is fun. Frazz is cool. Frazz is . . . a hit! Take one successful and secure songwriter, put him on the steering end of a janitor's broom, and drop him into the world of elementary education. And with that, if Jef Mallett's calling the creative shots, you have the makings of one of the most flourishing new comic strips to come along in years.

Frazz follows the life and loves of one Edwin Frazier, aka "Frazz," as he writes more best-selling lyrics, ponders the world's greatest literature and deepest mysteries with an 8-year-old genius, and interacts with the menagerie of other faculty and staff members. What results is a wild mix of witty observations and outright slapstick that amuses while causing you to see the world in a new light.

99 Percent Perspiration is the second collection of this very popular strip that appears in more than 150 newspapers worldwide, including the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Chicago Tribune. Frazz was nominated in 2004 as one of the best comic strips of the year by the National Cartoonists Society. It has also received two Wilbur awards for ethics and values.

    Once again, Jef Mallett is proving himself to be the best cartoonist drawing these days. I read him on-line on a daily basis, but reading the cartoons sequentially instead of waiting 24 hours between each one (as they were written), gives the stories continuity.
    This is an intelligent cartoon strip with sophisticated yet endearing characters. It is both a statement of the shortcomings of education as well as a hope for its future. And its comments on physical fitness are both poignant and humorous.
    Buy this book. Keep Jef Mallett in the cartoon business.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Frazz - a breath of fresh air!

    Imagine a middle-aged mom wrestling with her two grown sons - over a comic book! I bought the two "Frazz" collections for my husband for Christmas, and had to commandeer them away from our 17- and 20-year-olds so I could wrap them.
    Mallett's strip offers "be-a-kid-again" fun; the lovable characters and their escapades are spot-on every time. He also presents valuable attitude checks with a light touch. Our paper does not carry the "Frazz" strip, so finding the books amounted to discovering buried treasure. We all loved every page.

    I really like all the Frazz cartoons. They appeal to adults and to kids. The characters are great and the cartoon usually has a message as well as humor. Wish the tablet versions also came in book format as I do not have a way to watch them.

    The daily comic strip is excellent, but to be really appreciated, the strips gathered in one volume and read all in one sitting brings out the genius of Jef Mallet. Frazz is a true Renaissance man, but he is nurturing and pragmatic as well. My school janitor wasn't like that, and I wish he had been.

    A fun read. I want to buy copies and give to the custodians in our elementary schools. I wish all of his other books were available in bound form rather than as e-books.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2008
    I've read Frazz before on the comics dot com website, and it's always been very clever and funny. Jef Mallet does a nice job of creating subtle jokes that are definitely upscale and require some thinking as well. This is actually great brainfood.
