Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 17, 2016

Somebody tried to tenderize my heart. It didn’t work.

OMG!! I’m in that very age group!

Sum, esse, fui, futurus,

Flunko, flunkere, faculty, bouncem.

Ferro, ferre, tuli, latus,

Farto, fartere, pui, flatus.

deviating from the ordinary.

@TheOldWolf. I couldn’t get the REPLY button to work. I don’t understand your comment, and I very much want to— especially the FARTO part, or should I say, the “farto parto.”

Well, she slapped Mortimer’s mouth “clean off”. (A little paraphrasing from Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry).

Then maybe he should turn and bare his buns to her…

Heretical heteroclites WILL NOT be inflected in this house!

Now go study your superlatives!

He can shave easier now!

Can I just use the heterocercal words?

I believe it to be my right, as ancient spawn.

Learn to duck, some squats may be essential..

A silly on my face would indeed be quite anomalous, and thus heteroclitical, these days. And I too am in that very age group. I think Teresa knows her minions’ chief demographic.

My favorite part was “Mortimer.”

This cartoon is guilty of heterodoxy and will be burned!

(I lose more computer screens that way. It was so much easier when these things were printed on paper.)

Laughing, she said, “Ray, you are a card!”Slyly, he replied, “I don’t want to be a card, I want to be aboard.”

Other than prettyfeet (who I’m sure is a woman), every comment here seems to be from a male. GoComics posted some demographic information about the percentage of male readers… I’ll find it, and return.

There’s a cool echo in here!

Is it wrong that when she says she will slap the silly off my face, it sort of turns me on?

Is it?

In quantum fieri potest….

Latin taught me my heteroclites; who could possibly forget?

I must object to that violent, anti-Frog Applause female. Poor Mortimer; she is not fair at all….

I’ll silly that slap right off a you…
