Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 18, 2010

The reincarnation of Vlad Dracul.

Brrr, Grrrl.

As used in several detective stories: the near-perfect weapon, undetectable once melted (or so the perp would like to think). I seem to recall seeing a variant of this used eons ago in an old Charlie Chan movie…. Just another baby-faced homicidal maniac here, folks; now, move along!

And they ask “Where are the new baby-faced, homicidal maniacs coming from?” Question answered.

The Bad Seed lives!

Hey kid - go lick a flag pole

Get a grip on that catsup bottle, icicle or whatever! Gentle tapping won’t do it. Use force! Oh, what have I done? The blood looks like bloody catsup.

Sisyphos said, As used in several detective stories: the near-perfect weapon, undetectable once melted…. Yep remember that one… think it was an ice bullet… when you think about it… you’d really have to “work fast” , or do the dirty deed in a freezer… cute kid, looks like wife’s niece…

Margueritem: …and his heavy-smoking twin, Vlad the Inhaler.

then there was the trick of freezing water in the mold of a bullet, kept frozen until insertion into weapon….. no ballistics, no evidence left behind…*

*’from ‘3 days of a condor ’ where robt redford attributed it to ‘dick tracy’—- “he was a very underrated detective”

Well some desires is better that never come true.

Anyway can being funny impale someone there! hehehe!

Do you see Teresa… I never thinking that before seen your comics! You are devil! buuu!

(Well… I… LIE :))

Hey guys, if you see NCIS tv show, you see that new forensic tech can discover things like ice injure cause for something like a ice knife or a ice bullet.

Besides I read -i dont remember where- that is impossible do ice bullet. Anyway you can do it, the speed melting that before take the target.

Catsup? Catchup? Ketchup? There goes the rest of the morning!

Impaling is my absolute favorite activity. I just haven’t called it that before.

Looks like she could use a good impaling. Maybe it would help thaw her cold, cold heart.

Caucel: I’d bet it’s the heat of the gunpowder exploding and the heat from the friction of going through the barrel that will melt the ice bullet. This sounds like a job for “Myth Busters.”

Thank you for posting that ketchup public service. I hate watching idiots pounding the end of the bottle and threatening to spray it all over the table. (I actually use a one-handed technique where I gently shake the bottle at an angle, but it’s the same principle. Move the ketchup and allow air to come in).

Oh, and the Mythbusters already did cover the ice bullet… it didn’t work, as you would expect.

I agree with Nairebis that Mythbusters did do the ice bullet already. But, they did find that a large icicle, falling from a height could do some serious damage to anyone standing underneath it.

GLOBAL WARMING TRAGEDY-SOMEONE CALL AL GORE.

Saucy1121 I went to my first funeral when I was a little girl, for a boy that had been killed by a falling icicle.

Ray C, Vlad the Inhaler died of lung cancer, which was a good thing, because the Impaler had been watching him closely as he sharpened a long pole.

Teresa, you’re going soft on us, showing that terminally cute mini sock monkey.

Margueritem, Did he actually die, or does he come out of his coffin every night to suck cigarette smoke? Not as sexy as blood, which is probably why, sadly, his story has never been told.

Ray C I believe that you’re correct.

Help the Urban Dictionary:

Please! Vote “Yes” -thumbs up - on 3

You may also purchase the merchandise:

Merchandise

Ushindi, that was uncalled for, and can get you sued for defamation of character.

Coyoty: You don’t seem to be too quick upstairs - I did NOT instigate this “Urban Dictionary” definition, nor did I suddenly arrange for this merchandise to be manufactured and sold. This has nothing to do with me - it was pointed out to me as already existing. I merely posted a link (with my recommendation as to a vote). If my vote choice offends you, I will certainly have a problem going to sleep tonight, d@rn it. I would suggest you contact the Urban Dictionary and explain to them how their definition of “Doty” has caused you untold pain and suffering, but please, don’t credit me with such power over modern word usage - I have absolutely none. You are also free to vote your very own choice, or not vote at all - if you felt that GoComics required you to obey my recommendations, you are mistaken. Once again, for any others like Coyoty who seem to think I have the powers of a god - NO. The U.D. is accepting votes on the new and accepted meaning of the word “Doty”.

jtpozenel, in case you didn’t know there is someone named Doty who often posts comments here. I think he draws a comic but I forget which one.

This is a picture of a young french girl who was killed in the holocaust. y u use it, teresa?
