Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 27, 2017

Any other ideas that are edible consult the cure for world hunger.

It’s that really loud crinkly bag that’s the problem.

Cut off your ears. My dog loves to chew on pig ears.

The marvelous ear worms at work.

OPEN: Camera zooms in on a pig on a blanket.

PIG: Help! I’ve fallen into distant reverie, and I can’t get out!

VOICEOVER: HogAlert®, for when every moment matters.

I didn’t find out until later that Mr. Wrothison was once a heavy metal “hail satan” sort of guy who revelled in the ideas of mass death and destruction, bombs and wars and plagues, all put to music. And he associated the number five with the pentagram, pentagrams with goat heads and goats with goat cheese.

And Mr. Donkey thinks, “Geez. Was this really the only summer camp I could get into?”

" Trust me. " said the GOPig, as he rowed towards the public trough, called Tax Reform.

" We privileged few shall dine elegantly, tonight. There’s plenty of pork in the barrel for both of us ! "

Sure, there are some great sequels, and maybe it’s just me…

But, The Ass and the Piggywig just doesn’t seem to capture the same magic as The Owl and the Pussycat.

You need to drink more Grape Nehi with your pork rinds.

In Nehi veritas.

Plutocrat Pig has one oar in the water. Donkey is happy to go around in circles.

After years of meticulous and painstaking research it is my conclusion that one of five generic comments covers every Frog Applause™ strip:

1.      Don’t you people ever sleep?

2.      I don’t get it.

3.      Days when the comments make less sense than the cartoon are the best!

4.      The overlords aren’t gonna like this.

…. (and, if all else fails) …

5.      Trichinella spiralis! (Oops. I mean …) sPork!

So elegant, yet so demented! When over-dressed pigs and jackasses row around the lagoon in idyllic early 20th-century splendor, one must wonder what voices in their heads impel them to such illogical behavior.

I suspect Mr. Pig of cannibalism. Dr. Hannibal Porker?

Looney as they come. Frogs, beware!

Multiple voices going on at one time in your head sounds like gibberish..
