Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 19, 2021

Whoever thunk it stunk it.

And you would think she had learned the first time, too!

This Nicholas anon let fle a fart

As greet as it had been a thonder-dent

That with the strook he was almoost yblent

And he was redy with his iren hoot

And Nicholas amydde the ers he smoot

—from Chaucer’s “The Miller’s Tale,” the episode in which Absalom gets his revenge on Nicholas for farting as loud as a “thonder-dent” in his face, by branding his arse (“ers”) with a hot iron.

Tout le monde toots.

Stations should be called gotions.

Awo stingrays

Nano stinkray

Apropos of nothing in particular, if the Frog Applause™ – Rotifer Thalweg Gocomics Appreciation Society had a FARTGAS seal of approval, today’s comic would get it.

Anaïs has a lovely pink dress. The Fart Tart, on the other hand, wears a laughably out-dated number. So, tell me again, who is below her station here?

Carry on, ball-goers! Nothing to see nor to smell here!…

A way out there they’ve got a name for wind and rain and farts,

The wind is vent,

The rain is pluie,

And they call the farts pète …!

This seems relevant: Joseph Pujol, Le Petomane, professional flatulist.
