Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 05, 2023

—) There is a micro-size black hole (at least one) that has made its home in the Earth. It drifts effortlessly within the rocks, magma, and core. Sometimes it pops through the surface and devours miscellaneous surface objects for dessert.

For instance, Uncle Johann (pictured above): His family swore he just shriveled up and popped out of existence one year at Thanksgiving dinner!

Read Charles Fort — he knew!!

I think it’s about abortion.

Perhaps if I switched to Breakfast wine.

The wonder of a coat hanger.

CAUTION: Splinters – Enter At Your Own Risk

The hole of knot in sunken fuzz treasure, look at trunk and dig it up.

Rudy Martinez, your I.P. lawyer is holding on line one.

You can catch more flies with a scissors than you can with a truncated branch.

It doesn’t end well

Base ball woofer?

Speakers with base and treble, size of baseball and deep sea dive doggy woofer…

…Pinocchio’s Mom got no respect

…except she was where Geppetto got his love for wood making…

…when he was in the navy any old wood knot would do…

…but, oh, how he pined after her…

…they weren’t lovers…

…they were more like friends with benefits…

…no strings attached…

…no hangers-on…

…though he liked to trim her hedges…

…he didn’t do it just for the trim…

… knock on wood…

…for all trees fall must come..

…for Geppetto could not tell a lie…

…he chopped now the cherry tree…

A sinister message. I’m sure.

You forgot your teeth, General Arnold. That’s the message. And I think I’m entitled to a merit badge now.

The instruction to Give up… keeps me from giving up. That’s what I’ve deciphered.

Thanks for the scribbles “T” …!

( they’re baaack! yes, scribbles have ridges too! )

‘self explanatory’ works for me.

Yup, it’s self explanatory since the tree can talk for itself with its sideways mouth. Please note the red warning tag, as apparently there are teeth which do not show. It would be cute to mark your hangers with a dot like question mark, but you’d always come away from the closet with existential uncertainty, and just can’t figure out why.

More observations: Today Calvin and Hobbes did not update, yet we all know they have the strip somewhere. Let’s see, did we leave it in the closet with the hangers? …??? Are the clocks correct? … whaaaat iiiiis ooouurrr puuurrrrpooossssseeeeeeeeeeee . . .

Repressed fears surfacing. May I have some more therapy?

True. It’s say “self-explanatory” right on the comic!

My wardrobe has hanger issues

Whatever it doesn’t mean, you can rest assured it is knotty.

Much to process here. Gist taken, nevertheless…

Sometimes a cigar…

Passing thought … there should be a GoCreator pin on the Napoleon wannabe’s lapel …!

( don’tcha think? )

ALL THESE GOCOMICS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT TODAY’S FA.

ATTEMPT NO UNDERSTANDINGS THERE.

Mr. Pointy Nose has hangups, a loud-mouth country, that’s all I got

Who best to hide secret documents in the hollow of a tree if not a figure straight out of 19th century European politics or diplomacy or warfare? At first I though the 19th century dominant duplicitous figure here might represent Carl von Clausewitz (on War is his most notable work, though unfinished). And there might well be some enciphered data here, precisely the opposite of what is claimed in the caption. Then, upon further consideration and image-scouting, I thought of one of the most fascinating and skilled diplomats of the day and of the Austrian Empire, Klemens von Metternich, a.k.a. Prince Metternich. Assuredly, the unflattering caricature might represent him. And he was as tricky as they come, and generally successful strategically.

I am not sure, but I am as lame as game goes!

Seriously deceptive. I see an elegant solution to the Goldbach conjecture here.

rest in peace
