Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 23, 2019

Hey, that pompador guy stole that “snail on his head” trend from me. Copycat! You make me sick, you fashion thief.

Pompadour. This isn’t one of those British spellings, is it? —our.

It was time to move on. Funny how the cold had gone for a while, standing there. There must be an internal regulatory mechanism that moved warmth to the extremities for the time, drawing on previous exertion. It seemed like magic. Standing in the desolate emptiness, everything dead or dormant, had a comfort to it. Feeling returned to hands and feet. The mind cleared. The petty dramas of the day and its people withdrew. There was the sky, the frozen landscape, the falling snow and absolutely nothing but emptiness and clarity. Like being everywhere and nowhere at all. There were likely birds and mice and rabbits, certainly. Maybe some larger predators, foxes or coyotes perhaps. But they were silent and absent, waiting out the storm.

Frog Applause is back. Glad GoComics finally got their act together.

Could that “do” be named after the French PM, Jean Pompidou? Sorta looks like him. I mean, well…he has that mustache.

I’ll tale St. Louis.

Welcome back, Teresa. It feels good to be lame again.

Looks like advertising for a chain of barber shops. The message of course, is that every gentleman west of St. Louis must shave his head. Because of course, those roughneck cowboy types’ll never go for a pompadour or an “artistic,” whatever that is.

I love that Ms. T has cleverly made it clear that there’s so little to distinguish one style from another.

To quote Bugs Bunny: “So long screwy. See ya in Saint Louie.”

I’ve always been a fan of quirky music. I was listening to the early 80s band, Fabulous Poodles the other day and have always wondered about one song, Chicago Boxcar Boston Back.

The singer says that he “just got back to town, but instead of just hanging around,” he “went to the barbershop.” He then goes on to say, “that medium trim went out today, it’s all streamlined hair and Chevrolet.” apparently, he gets a Chichago Boxcar haircut with a “Boston back.” (“Chicago Boxcar Boston back, you can get ahead with a style like that.”)

Does anyone know if this is a real hairstyle and if so, can they describe it? While we’re at it, what does it mean to “Chevrolet” your hair?

The Artistic guy is cross eyed ( esotropic). Why he went for that look I bet.

My barber shop never had that poster.

Two Fecal Plumes, and

A “T” in a Polysemous Tree!

I believe it is pronounced, “Warshington”.

If the eight people above are the one’s in charge of the servers … well, suffice to say, it’s a freakin’ miracle FA is up and hopping …!

FA is back up. I was getting worried for a while.

I like the butterfly.

Why aren’t any western cities or more central cities of the US represented? Are people in Los Angeles or Denver, for example, bald or just fashionably unimportant?

Business in the front, party in the back.

Pompadour Artistic is the Terran Code Identification of the insidious alien Pod People, who have in various guises already taken control of six U.S. cities, four on the East Coast and two in the Midwest.
