    Don’t use it when asked, “Do these jeans make me look fat?”

    I don’t think a cacodont like him will have that many chances.

    It would probably be taken as sexist hatespeech nowadays. Or is that how you already got some of your teeth knocked out?

    Am I the only one who has no idea what “the Harlem shake” is, and doesn’t care, and doesn’t want to know?

    Ridiculous not to keep Grace the Face. She’s a perfect poster gal: if you don’t like her looks, you probably won’t like Frog Applause. Some weird version of political correctness or baudlerization, I guess.

    Re the pickled herring sandwich: When I first moved to the Chesapeake Bay area 30 years ago you could get a “spot” sandwich, a small fish called a spot, fried whole and served between two pieces of white bread. The workman’s lunch cart also offered a chicken leg served the same way. You gobbled the bread while sucking the meat off the leg and pulling the bone out of your mouth. I have no idea how you were supposed to manage the fish bones!

    The new Frog Applause mascot doesn’t look very gay to me. He looks very unhappy….maybe he’s missing Grace.

    I don’t know about pickled herring sandwiches, but Ive eaten my share of sardine sandwiches over the years, and yes, mayonnaise is good on them.Although tartar sauce is better.

    Longtime caricaturist Al Hirschfeld famously drew the name of his late daughter Nina into his drawings in the New york media. He’d sign his name with a number following, the number indicating the number of times he inked “Nina” in the drawing. It was then up to the reader to locate all the “Ninas.” You can see it on the Blog at Miss Gardner’s hip.

    @coltish1: I was going to write much the same thing last night, but FA had not updated by the time I went to bed. But I’m glad you mentioned the Ninas… I was introduced to those around 1957 or so by my mother, and spent many hours poring over the Hirschfelds in the New York Times.

    Blog Pickled herring and mayonnaise .. I wouldn’t know, this is something I’ve vowed to stay away from all my life (and keep a distance of at least ten meters to people who eat this ‘food’).I always thought it was extraterrestrials or something that brought it here, but it turns out it was those Ashkenazim that came to Holland in the 17th century.

    I really enjoy the FA strips that send me to the dictionary, then leave me chuckling. Thank you Teresa! Another one for my arse-nal (speaking of callipygian…).

    Happy to see the Al Hirschfeld art… I always enjoyed opening the Sunday paper to his illustrations to find how many Ninas he snuck in. I can’t recall what year it was he started – whenever his daughter Nina was born, but he continued placing at least one in each of his illustrations for the rest of his life.

    Why would gocomics have an issue with Grace the Face. I have always had Grace as the image in my mind when I imagine how you look Teresa. I do not want the current avatar to be what I think of when I think of you. I want to think of you as having callipygian butt cheeks, not Muppet cheeks.

    I agree that the GRACE avatar is more attractive and preferable to the green-face guy. I hope GC does not assign avatars to any of us readers.

    I love the ones taken with my lover, tho’ I worry that some of my comments might get back to him, so I returned to this – easier to find when scrolling in a busy board.

    Boo! Boooo! to Gocomics! I have no words for that utterly stupid video. Ok., maybe a couple words. What creative genius came up with this concept?

    And to the icon….How can they do that!?!They already try to tell you how to write your strip and now they change your icon without so much as a “Hey what do you think of this?”.How mutilating and disrespectful of your creative vision.I hope this site is not devolving into disneyland.

    I meant “gay” in the sense of happy or jolly. I don’t see why people have to hide behind an acronym.
