Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 11, 2021

holy crap! a truism

Do they have a large sinventory list like Amanda the Great has?

…uh, uh, yeah…

…um, my eyes are down here…

…oh, no! One eyed purple people eaters…

…I hear you, but my hearing is also dyslexic…

…

…in order for me to listen…

…you have to say more than Sonny Liston…

…you are asking me to hear…

…but you whisper far not near…

…did you ask me for a picture photo…

…of Dr. Oz taken by Toto…

…or were you saying your bra was too tight…

…I think it’s uplifting and right…

…did you say the skirt is above the knee…

…or that you played a nurse that gave IVs?..

I see what you mean. I mean, I don’t see it.

…is there such a thing as too much prayer?…

…I mean, shouldn’t I shut up once in a while and listen for a response?…

…a quite time…

…to listen for an answer?…

…I shout, I cry, I beg, I scream, I rip my shirt pour ashes over my head…

…I praise, I dance, I rap really fast, I jump up and down in celebration…

…victory and defeat…

…but do I ever just shut the f up?…

…and people at work wonder why I never talk…

…are you truly invisible if you don’t have eyes to see?…

…can I listen if I don’t see you?…

…damn new phone is useless…

Hey, I really don’t mind listening to all your babble and rambling and no, I don’t SEE your point! You ramble on and on and in the end, you have said nothing of substance and everything of bull! Do me a big favor? STFU! And another thing, I need a hair cut so bad but listening to your BLah Blah Blah all day long I think I’ll keeep it long…it blocks out the sound of your voice!

Listen people to what I say

I say everybody’s got to have their day

And don’t you know that

Everybody’s got to love somebody sometime

Everybody’s got to win a heart

Everybody’s got to love somebody sometime

When you do, I hope you never part

.

Herman’s Hermits

Who listens better than a psychotherapist? And then there are those highly skilled therapists who treat (listen to) other therapists. That’s what today’s strip made me think of. It also made me think of the Beatles.

Imaginary People

What you saaayyy …?

The jail mates running the prison. Don’t be some trusty.

Duly noted! Also: Dooley noted; Dewly noted; Do Lee noted; and Due lee noted!

Tho a poster of poems

I took no offense

Her equivocation

Allayed the suspense

Aye eye. I’m speechless anyway, Rotifer wrote a poem.

Does this qualify as “compatibility,” or as mutual tolerance for tedious babble? (And the numbers verify: no haiku here.)

No one so blind as he who will not See….

The Beatles sang, “Give me Moe…”
