Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 11, 2010

So you’re definitely not fine also tomorrow.

I am Fine. I hope you are all Fine. I hope Teresa is Fine.

This one would make a great bumper sticker.

In case anybody’s wondering about the source for Figs III and IV…

That’s from the instruction manual for Stretch Armstrong, one of the oddest toys of the 1970s and 1990s:

Yes, you are not. Not tomorrow, yes?

Are you related to Miss Ninette?

Then stand on the International Date Line, where time doesn’t exist. You may feel better.

According to the Telegraphic Code Word chart on Frog Blog, today is JOLE. What does jole mean? First, ululate. Now, jole. I need a dictionary all the time around here.

how about: 836_Jole a minor planet orbiting the sun. any other arcane answers for Whitetail? Ah, the joys of internet researching minutiae.

I live for Fishnet Friday. How sad that is.

Today’s fishnet was particularly good, was it not? Or should I say, “Fine!”

Yesterday’s fishnet not, nor tomorrow’s also. Today is fishnet fine, but denier medium.

Okay, I’m NOT going to wait until Sunday! I’m blowing this Kool-Aid stand today! Everyone celebrate my departure now from this tripe of a strip! Gooooooood riddance!

remember the little kid who was abducted by the aliens in ‘close encounters of the third kind’? towards the end , when the spaceship is leaving , after having dropped him off, in his sad, childish, high pitched voice he said:

G’BYE!

and so we say to you josh, we , who are about to die, salute you!

and …….g’bye!

He’s probably just joshing.

Is Josh able to walk and chew gum at the same time? Why is he unable to read more than one comic strip? I read a ton of strips every day.

Theresa–

I’ve just spent about two hours looking at your blog and laughing. Thanks for all the wonderful oddness. And yes, you CAN get banana runts all by themselves. Go to http://www.oldtimecandy.com/bananarama.htm and check it out. Old Time Candy sells them as Bananarama candies. Couldn’t find a way to post a message on your blog, so here it is.

Wow. It looks like the Frog Blog got a makeover.
