Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 21, 2023

Ramit

Crosswalk cross again at The Mt. Siani and entrance to Fronglandia Bath Mat Factory as factors go. Take a deep breath of fresh air to clear to rubber room typeo security and parking in The Rear.

Hey there’s Brass, a jolly how-de-do, probably brain storming as funnel cake clouds are forming. And a two eraser pencil bouncing on the dash board…

Ah! It’s the new VR video game, where you get points for running down random, or not-so-random, persons in crosswalks. They say it is just like actually being there. There is even a chair you can buy that links in, and has haptic feedback, so that when you run down some deserving, or undeserving, victim, there is a bump-bump that you can feel. It’s like the opposite of a Progressive Insurance commercial.

I always brake for cartoonists, and would proudly proclaim it with a bumper sticker if I didn’t dislike bumper stickers.

Ah, the old days, when Ed’n’Gert would take the Simca out of a sunny Sunday and do their bit to cull the population of its wretched excess.

Never hit a cartoonist. ALWAYS hit the overlords!!!

…see…

…editors are evil…

…I just read today that, ‘Single Panel Cartoonist,’ is America’s worst job…

… coincidence?…

…we must keep our cartoonists safe…

…that’s why I researched via The Froglandia fArtificial Intelligence…

…er…

…I peaked in on an editor’s blog…

…fArt came up with putting cartoonist resumes in at SPAM processing plants…

…though…

…I personally think that they’d kill at Hormel …

…and get more gags at A&W…

…but that’s just me…

…and here I thought that cartoonists didn’t work a day in their life…

…here’s just one piece of free advice…

…while enjoying your car tunes…

…watch out for your favorite neighborhood cartoonist! …

Today’s F.A.™ not only is a transparently poor (if intentional) attempt at subliminal humor, but also provokes greater inquiry into irrational … uh … er … irrationality(?)(!):

Thought For The Day: How do overlords reproduce?

The answer probably has nothing to do with Mehmet Özyürek’s nose.

The Beatles in the cross-walk……

Step on it, Henry, we could become famous …..

I would gladly give that couple a Safe Driving Award ( a psuedo-gold star ) if they could fender trophy one of the GoatKomix Overlords & Arbitors of Good Taste!

Underlying overlords … it’s what’s for dinner …!

( discover the power of resisting compliance )

He’s playing Vlad von Fronglandia!? [ ‘Mu-ah-ha-hahaha!! Mu-ah-ha-hahaHA!!’ ]

Ah yes, all part of the annual migration to the Froglandian Hot Springs for a little rest and rejuvenation. Each overlord pelt you retrieve and stash in the trunk on the way, will be redeemable for 10 minutes worth of massage. I hear Vlad is holding Rolfing sessions in the hot spring fed kiddie pool this year, so better sign up fast!

Reward! Maximum bounty for a run-down Overlord suitable for mocking taxidermy! But spare the cartoonists, for they are an Endangered Species.

Weaponized vehicles are hereby sanctioned for this worthy sporting event….

Try “just torture”?

Good one!
