Frazz is lookin’ good!
Unless you had your magnifying glass out while reading the funnies over the last couple days, you probably missed the nationwide exposure Silent Sports magazine got.
The mag made two appearances in Frazz, a daily comic strip that appears in more than 150 newspapers (and in Silent Sports, published monthly), yesterday and today. The title character is seen wearing a T-shirt bearing our name – or at least “Silent Spor” on Monday and “ilent Spor” today.
OK, here are the strips, first Monday’s then today’s. It helps to squint:
The entire name of the magazine would have fit across the chest of Mr. Burke, Frazz’s running parter, but it makes more sense to depict Frazz, a marathon runner and triathlete, with such good taste in running apparel. (Clearly it is a technical, possibly vented, T. And the white on black is soooo rock-n-roll!)
If only the magazine had actual T-shirts like this available … or T-shirts of Frazz’s T-shirt. Hmm. Maybe I’ll look into this.
Anyway, this was a nice gesture by Frazz creator Jef Mallett (and a way to end the years of me badgering him to put his alterego in just such an outfit).
Thanks, Jef!
