Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 04, 2017

Dibs on at least one of the wings.

Foghorn Leghorn, is that you?

More like roasted if there’s no breading, but Ewwww! burnt feathers!

Lightning strong enough to kill that bird probably blew the feathers right off.

Happy Birthday, Teresa.

In honor of that occasion and this FABULOUS new website that all Gocomics’ artists and readers are raving about, Teresa and I are announcing a new joint venture dedicated to letting the overlords “feel the love” by expressing exactly how grateful users feel about them, to wit, the …

Frog Applause – Rotifer Thalweg GoComics Appreciation Society

The new organization will be dedicated to highlighting and praising all the wonderful improvements to the site since the rollout of the new platform, and will post a list of those achievements as they occur.

(crickets)

F.A.R.T.G.A.S – The Overlords deserve nothing less.

Yes, Many Happy Returns of the Day, Teresa!

I’m having the hamlet omelet.

Speaking as a giant monster fan, I love this image. Very Godzilla 1954.

Cluck-cluck here for lightning-fast food!

“Birdzilla,” the shortest, yummiest monster movie in history.

Gizzard.

Totally Gizzard.

Absolutely Gizzard.

After fried chicken comes fried egg…

So… I guess we should take the french toast off the menu then?

That ain’t Chicken Little!!! (but his wings look hot.)

Wings? What wings?

And Harlan Sanders lurks behind the curtain, rubbing his hands together in evil glee.

Teresa’s birthday? Doesn’t that come under the heading of “The Unknowable”?

Today is Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you!!! (Get it? MAY THE FOURTH! heh heh heh)

Chicken Attack. That is all.

This is a giant bird, Food of the Gods style.

To heighten the drama, they liked to use very big drumsticks to produce a very big drum roll. They had no idea that it could end like this, with a very big rim shot.

I’ve always wanted to be deep fried in my own natural oils…

Because they had the natural oils episode on G.I.T.S. Standalone Complex last week, of course.

TOMORROW IS TERESA’S BIRTHDAY!!! I REMEMBER BECAUSE SHE HAS THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS MY SISTER. SHAME ON YOU, ROTIFER, FOR SPREADING THIS FALSE INFORMATION! HOW LAME OF YOU! (I do like the name of your new society, however.)

A simple trip to the archives confirmed it. - http://www.gocomics.com/frogapplause/2012/5/5?ct=v&cti=98256 - May 5th is Teresa’s birthday. I didn’t check other May 5th years in the archives, but she received 69 in the year I checked. I hope she surpasses all records this year. That’ll show those overlords. If for some reason I miss commenting tomorrow (one never knows if you’ll get tied up), here’s wishing you an early birthday hurrah. Hope your day is happier than our FA commenter HAPPY, who always seems cheerful.

On the gocomics homepage there is a heading called TODAY’S TRENDING COMICS. It lists four categories, most commented comic of the day, most shared, most favorited, and most — forgot the last category. Let’s try to put Teresa in one of those slots tomorrow! It’s probably a dumb idea, especially if people just do repetitive postings just for the sake of upping her comment numbers. Forget I brought up the idea. I doubt if Teresa would be onboard for something that contrived.

That’s Chicken Little’s cousin Chicken Big.

Sounds delicious..

Thunder is the timer, I can hear the big chicken is done…

Come and get it….wait….I don’t get it…….

Sounds excellent as long as you keep it warm. Although I guess cold fried chicken would go well enough with good cold pizza.

Now, that’s a complete breakfast!

(un)Healthy and Appetizing..

It struck me one day, as I was out wokking, that I should abandon my raw ways and investigate the extra crispy lifestyle.

Notice those long spurs on its legs?

Really cloudy, our picnic is going to be ruined..

The tallest of tales can be made more palatable simply by including one tiny Colonel of truth.

Tomorrow, for Sinking in Mayo day, we shall endeavor to take sides on the comic as if it were a divisive political wedge issue, or at least seasoned and baked potato wedges, or an uncomfortable undergarment wedge when we perceive that nobody is watching.

Happy Early Birthday, Teresa..

Enjoy your Fry Day..

I know Teresa’s birthday is tomorrow I just wanted to get my greetings out of the way before Sink Full of Mayo….when, you know…I’ll forget…everything.

That chicken would never fit in my tub rotating automatic chicken plucking machine. I don’t even know how I would scald it!
