Thomas Bertram “Bert” Lance (June 3, 1931 – August 15, 2013) was an American businessman who served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Jimmy Carter in 1977.
Lance is credited with popularizing the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, when he was quoted saying it in the May 1977 issue of the magazine Nation’s Business.
The expression became widespread, and William Safire wrote that it “has become a source of inspiration to anti-activists.”
Walter Benjamin Lantz (April 27, 1899 – March 22, 1994) was an American cartoonist, animator, film producer, and director, best known for founding Walter Lantz Productions and creating Woody Woodpecker.
Lantz is credited with saying, “I’m just a little old cartoonist, tryin’ to make a buck.”
Oh, Little Girl, you are so filled with festering wisdom! Such intelligence can have no home in comics but Frog Applause! Burst your pimple of providential pus over all us, —we the few, the proud, the lame!
God bless us, one and all! Merry Christmas, froggies-’round-the-pond.

I believe that Frog Applause was listed as one of the things visited upon Job in the Old Testament, and as one of the Plagues of Egypt.
You’ve probably only seen heavily edited versions without FA being named specifically.
That’s just The Man, keeping you down.
Feed your head and free your mind.
The stale cookies and expired milk are great.

I’m pretty sure they were not related.
They don’t even spell it the same way.
