Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 25, 2015

Mmm…Bacon on the hoof.Could you sort of *" trip "* him into this slicer over here?

Alert Pastis!

Oddly enough, Rat works as a phone-answerer for the GoComics Overlords, and they just awarded him their Henchman of the Year trophy.

Mmmm pork brain, and he won’t know it’s missing!

I just checked Pearls Before Swine. Pig isn’t in today’s strip. It must be true. Pig really is missing. What if he never gets his memory back? More important, what happened to that poor coconut?

I’m not familiar with the saucy fox (is he from a known strip?), but I’m pretty sure I recognize Cartoon-Boy’s Pig, from PBS. The empty brain-case is generally symptomatic of Pig and should not be permanently altered by a mere coconut butt….

Oh yeah. I know him. And he’s late for the party.He was to be the guest of honor at a July 4th roast.We can reschedule for Labor day, though.

We will be waiting for his safe return.

Bring your own beer, paper plates and napkins, though.

Hot crossover action!

Is that Buckley?

Beacon, sausage and ham … what’s not to like??? I’ll take him (it?) … best not assign gender to future food.

I’ll take him! I love Pig from Pearls Before Swine!!

Now I must go and re-transcribe Throw Down the Sword from vinyl to MP3. It skips … like a pig.The work of idle hands is never done.

Buckley is the fox at the comic Pinkerton.

Oops. I just now saw your sentence above the comic stating that the animal in it is a fox. I don’t see any resemblance to a fox. Teresa’s fox is pretty distinct. Her fox’s head is a little weird being a triangle, but the rest of it is spot on. I doubt if she’s doing a crossover of this strip.

And he is a fox.

Cool hybrid. I’ve always liked Pig, too.
