We explain the overall continuous Grazar (Gamma Ray Blazar) spectrum from the synchrotron turnover to the EGRET GeV detections by means of Comptonization in the parsec scale jet's substructures.

While making use of the constraints on the synchrotron spectrum and other measurable quantities, no exotic particle acceleration is needed to achieve the high energy output.

We show, that the “Lighthouse Model” of blobs of relativistic electrons, travelling with the jet plasma at relativistic speeds, produce both, correct timescales and shapes for the lightcurve, and correct ratios and slopes of the synchrotron, X-ray and γ-ray branches.
