Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 22, 2013

Wow, Grace, it stinks to have fewer nostrils than one of the kids in Family Circus

Would that be his ‘private eye’? Grace, it’s lovely to see you back again.

Nothing like having Tracy, Dick !

Not only is the current avatar a more accurate example of the strip, but Teresa hasn’t used the so-called face of Frog Applause in years. It’s all about Vlad now.

That’s the girl from the Munsters, right?

I found it. The real Grace the Face.http://tinyurl.com/ybnmnnl

I always thought Dick Tracy was at the very least a sergeant. If true, he had no private parts. Maybe that’s why he always looked angry (and Tess looked so frustrated!).

Is Cathy’s Nose one of those quaint New England toponyms?Is Tracy less of a man for this?

She keeps them in a jar by the door.

Dick Tracy’s private parts where her nose should be?

Stomp on frogs and slap me silly… I had no idea there was a real Grace the Face!

I’m glad you didn’t get Orphan Annie’s eyes.

…be glad you didn’t get Dick Tracy’s nose also…..you could slice deli meat with that thing.

Good thing he wasn’t a private detective.

Yah for Grace the FaceMay she be your AVATAR for as long as you grace GO COMICS with your presence.

Hm! I never considered whether Dick Tracy was anatomically correct or not. Am I in the minority?

The only time I’ve speculated about Dick Tracy’s private parts: I suspect Madonna and Warren Beatty never had the energy for a sex romp.

Poor Dick, now he has to go through life as nothing more than a Ken doll.

And a cartoon of a Ken doll at that.

A. I’m sorry I didn’t join in the discussion yesterday (I’m in south Florida at a @&%dam mother &%$#ing wedding) regarding The Most Important Issue of Our Time (a/k/a Grace the Face’s unannounced and unceremonious dismissal as the corporate face of FA World). It sounds like you handled it uncharacteristically well (which is to say with diplomacy and a scalpel rather than screams and a sledgehammer*).

B. Mother says to tell you she’s proud of you.

C. I think you won (and my stolen avatar thinks so too).

/s/ Rotifer

* Wouldn’t Screams and a Sledgehammer be a good name for a rock band?

At least she didn’t get Cathy’s mouth. ACK!!

Is that really Michelle Obama dancing with Jimmy Fallon on the blog?

My respect for the First Lady just went up.

Re: Michelle

1. They forgot the “Touchdown Teresa” move (see my avatar).

2. On their worst day Nancy Reagan, Betty Ford and Pat Nixon could have wiped the floor with the current First Lady.

Best FLOTUS of my lifetime.

You guys are way ahead of me on the puns and comments. I’ll start trying to think of my own now. I was always a little slow on the uptake anyways. But my thoughts run deep. Anyway, I think my brand of lameness was meant for this site.

I would love to see all of the antique quilt

Frog Blog: MildewAnd here I thought it was Carrot Juice Is Murder.

You could have gotten the private parts of the “Love Is” characters. At least we can imagine that Dick Tracy has some.
