Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 08, 2017

Another chapter from the EVILS OF GOOSES AND GEESES.

The hand model job search went poorly, so we went with cartoon models, as they could always be redrawn, undamaged, in the next panel. And they work cheap.

Is this the same hand subjected to burns and cuts over time, then finally culminates into double digit loss? If so, you’d think this disembodied hand would steer clear of levitating chemicals, bonfires, knives, and foul fowl.

The thumb can take a lot of punishment. One nip from a Scissor Swan is too much for the delicate fingers.

Why was the thumb spared in the last scenario? Perhaps after being marinated in chemicals, barbecued, and chopped, it was no longer a tasty treat.

Not knowing if this is a goose or a swan, I’ve decided to coin a different word. SWOOSE? Plural: SWOOSEN.

The real fault is in the earth and is prone to earthquake trimmers and such.

You must really be more careful..

An earthquake tonight…thank you, now I know.

Hurricane just days away, be careful, it’s going to be loads fun..

Who’s coming to dinner? Cooked goose sounds nice.

Perhaps guests may volunteer to lend you a helping hand..

“Dumb ways to die, Frog Applause version.”

Obviously that’s the more rare and aggressive Amazon swan. From the river basin in South America, to be clear.

Other warning signs are suggested at piws.org. Click on each panel for a brief description.

The Ugly Duckling has grown up, and, well, he’s not as well adjusted as we’d been led to believe.

No fairy tale ending for his life story.

Its about time they put a warning on this strip.

There will be goose for dinner!

Ain’t that the truth!

“Frog Applause” is among the comics under the main page heading Today’s Trending… (@ www.gocomics.com)

I thought the goose in Monty Python and the Holy Grail was a duck? Or was the swan a rabbit? (I’m so confused)

P.S. On the Frog Applause – Rotifer Thalweg GoComics Appreciation Society (“FARTGAS”) Inverse Hostility Scale of 10 to Love Is …, today’s FA rates 3 Fuscos (!!!).

apparently, among the worst things to happen to human hands is goose encounters (of the third kind)

The moral of this pictogram… Never mistake a swan for a goose.

The Froglandia State Department and Embassies will disavow any knowledge of any alleged goose attacks, so don’t bother going to them for help.

Some handy monitory signage, warning against caustic agents, fire, sharp bladed instruments, and those damnable poopy Canada geese!

Let’s have a hand for the lady of the Froglandia house, herself a handful, the ever-vigilant and resourceful Sister Teresa of the Perpetual Lame!

Four hands, even (but not forehands)! A Friday game of pinochle is calmative.
