    I don’t wear a watch either.

    Today is the first day of Spring. Why not take off that wool sweater?

    You got a point there, anxious Frantic Dude! But aren’t you just hastening your fatal heart-attack?

    Whenever I ask most people what time it is, they pull out their cell phone. I actually don’t see as many people who wear watches any more.

    Teresa recently made the mistake of giving me positive reinforcement for my monster movie-related comments and links.

    And she recently introduced y’all to the Cookie Monster on Crack:

    Therefore, I have uploaded the trailer for this cheesy film. Enjoy….

    Stay tuned, ‘cause I know I have a “Monster From Green Hell” trailer around here somewhere.

    (PS: Please note that his is not my normal YouTube channel. This is the one that I reserve for videos containing content which might get taken down due to a copyright complaint. If you want to see my “real” YouTube channel, get on there and search for “formerlyflightsuit”)

    OK, I’ve uploaded the trailer for “Monster From Green Hell!”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3USkio6LFU

    If you’re wondering why that’s relevant, you obviously aren’t reading Frog Blog often enough:

    Why do we have to wait until the day after we die? That hardly seems fair.

    /s/ 6,000 gasbags and counting

    P.S. Once again you’re all missing the point. “Teresa” knows what you apparently do not: time is not absolute. This strip is clearly a metaphor for time dilation, which “she” cleverly disguises by making it appear as though the subject is not moving at all (hint: do you actually SEE a watch anywhere?). All that BS about time off for emergency surgery last week was a ruse to let our less powerful brains recalibrate with “hers,” the electromagnetic force of which causes a gravitational red shift of subtle but enormous consequences (and you probably bought that explanation by the “scientists” on CNN and Fox that all these recent earthquakes were the result of “plate tectonics.” Think about it - if there was such a thing as “plate tectonics” wouldn’t the combined weights of Dom DeLuise and Roseanne Barr have caused California to break off and slide into the Pacific years ago?). You people need to stop trying to use your imagination and instead rely on a little reality based analysis for a change.

    I’ve been wearing a watch since 1978. An analog one (1978-1984) and many digital ones to this day. The reason: Being punctual.

    I wore a watch everyday for like the last 5 years. The band recently broke. I figured I’d just quit wearing it. My cell phone tells me the time. My computer screens - which I feel like I am in front of 24/7, both at work and at home - display the time. There are clocks all over… the oven, the microwave, on the car stereo, in the office. No watch - no big deal.

    WHY CAN’T I STOP LOOKING AT MY WRIST?! That’s it! I’m going to Walmart for a new watch band!

    She had a nice snapshot on the blog for some time… she’s very cute with a nice naughty smile… Think she got some pretty bad personal feed-back… she wrote a bit about how female cartoonists are seen and treated differently then male… I forget the details, but along the lines of: a female cartoonist, doing a risque bit becomes a target as the cartoon is seen as a projection of their “persona”, whereas with a guy, a joke is a joke… After that, we got the nurse…

    I had to look up the biography of Tura after seeing that short video. Amazing - reads almost like a Robert Ludlum novel. If you’re interested (Elvis proposed to her - she turned him down. Spent time at Manzanar. Gang-raped at 9 YO by five men, etc., etc.)

    Check Out Tura

    And, jtpozenel, you’re disgusting. That was a terrible thing to do…

    Yeah but, how would she give a standing ovation?

    Teresa: I HAVE to ask - shouldn’t that be “Balloon Pants” in the blog, or am I missing something? Does this have to do with ballet dancers hovering in the air?

    EDIT: Thanks, Teresa, you little collective, you. I THOUGHT that must be a typo…You’re not going to make ME your whipping boy, now, are you? I don’t do well with pain.

    Ushindi, I don’t know about that, but doesn’t that Family Togetherness ad look like the Bush Family?

    Yup! Both Teresa’s fans and her detractors both seem to have a sick fascination with speculating about her personal life.

    This is endlessly amusing to me because, as I’ve previously explained, “Teresa” in a nom de plume used by the collective of artists and writers responsible for Frog Applause and Frog Blog; there is no actual person by that name.

    Bristow: Actually looks a lot like my family years ago, but I don’t understand why the middle son gets the .30-30 Winchester (although it COULD be a Marlin, or maybe a .44-40, or maybe…) and the oldest son gets a lousy front-break (barrel-break) pellet rifle. Not ALL dirty commie-loving pinko-liberal socialist Obama-lovers like me are terrified of firearms - Yo! (Was this a good spot to say “Yo!”? I hear that a lot nowadays, but I’m uncertain as to its proper usage…)

    I thought my dog was rolling around in the pleasant this afternoon, but I was very mistaken.
