Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 23, 2008

I believe it says ‘Duffy’. Of course, I can’t remember what strip Duffy draws.

It’s a perfect strip for me, a werewolf, and a bitter sweet ending.

I’m with ya, girlfriend!

Me, me, me. I love the Fuscos. Count me in.

Happy Holidays to you too

i thought i was the only one who loved the fuscos…i’m glad i’m not alone…..

I don’t know Teresa, I think he and Marguerite could still make it work, at least until their silver anniversary…

Good one!

Ma cher loup garou, it’s only one time a month that the change will over come you. Between full moons, we can dine on crepes and chocolat, and enjoy the fruits of love. In your wolf shape, I shall keep you with a silver chain, and feed you raw fillet mignon.

The Fusco Brothers is a great strip. I’m a big fan. I like it when cartoonists make comments on their strips. I hope Duffy joins the ranks.

I want to hear more about the painful and humiliating initiation process…

Margueritem, “Ma cher loup garou…” beautiful, very beautiful. You could write a fine novel I suspect.

Nah, too much work. ;-) Although I could try out for the annual Bulwer-Lytton Bad Writing Contest. “It was a dark and stormy night…”

Why is “It was a dark and stormy night” considered bad writing? And this phrase pops up in “The Three Musketeers”. Given conditions there could be a bright full moon on a stormy night, with low scudding clouds and strong winds, intermittent rain, the darkness would be relative.

That particular phrase was used by Snoopy quite often as he sat atop his doghouse with his typewriter. Nothing’s wrong with ‘It was a dark and stormy night’ itself, it’s what often follows it, florid or purple prose. Edward Bulwer-Lytton was known for being overly wordy.

It was a dark and stormy night. Fleur looked down her nose at Guilliame as he stood in front of her. It wasn’t as hard for her to look down her nose as one might think. She was six foot three in her stockinged feet, and she had one of those long French noses, not pert like Bridget Bardot had, but more like the one that Charles De Gaulle had when his was still alive and President of France and he wore that cap that was shaped like a little hatbox with a bill in the front to offset his nose, but it didn’t work.

The results of the 2008 Bulwer-Lytton contest. My mistake, it has to be the first sentence of a novel or story. My fourth sentence would qualify. http://tinyurl.com/6kdoy6

Thank You margueritem.

wndrwrthg: You’re welcome. I think that Digital Frog should enter the contest next year. They have a pun section.

We have a lot of talented people on these boards, so I’m posting the electronic entry site for the 2009 Bulwer-Lytton contest. Entries are due by April 15th, 2009. Remember, you are entering the first sentence of an imaginary novel. http://tinyurl.com/9kvnuf

Duffy should have known better than to have been walking home when there was a full moon. He was just asking for it. You’re better off without him Margueritte. The puppies would have been brain damaged.

There is no cure for Frog Applause either. RUN!
