Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 15, 2023

It could also be true that the panel is sinking.

I hope the vet already took care of those private kitty parts.

A couple of good farts should solve that problem.

Beans. Gas. You know the rest.

don’t fear the editors. looks normal to me

No Fur: The crafty Hover Cat will always land on its feet. The Ground has that Effect.

Yeet!

Kitties don’t mind having their private parts showing. They seem to enjoy it, so much that they’ll even clean them in front of anybody who is visiting you.

No such thing as over hovering. Over hoovering, that’s different.

So far, I’d come up with a few standard Christmas Crafts that could work. There was the Pine Cone and Pipe Cleaners option, of course. And I had looked into the Green Construction Paper Christmas Tree project as possible. That one seemed a bit glitchy, though. The Gingerbread House could work, but I’d have to learn to make gingerbread, or find somewhere that sells it in sheets for the construction process. I supposed that one COULD use popsicle sticks, and make it LOOK like a gingerbread house, with cardboard painted up to make gingerbread men and stuff so the structure looked more authentic. But then there would be all the detail work for gumdrops and candy canes and stuff. I was pretty sure it would take at least three tries to get an acceptable project done, and MAYBE there was enough time, but it was too much work. And, like I said, I’ve never been good with glue. It was a disaster waiting to happen. Time was slipping away, and I was running out of options. I needed to get down to business, and soon.

Hovering can cause fuzziness. Glad your back.

he’s a hovercat…

There is no gravity in a comic strip.

Overhovering the White Cliffs of Dover?!

Hmm…I’m suspicious. Cats aren’t exactly known for their modesty, either in the way they present themselves to the world, or in their opinions of themselves. I think what we have is a cat left over from Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and it’s getting nervous about its lack of tethering lines. We might have to call 911 in this case.

There is an artfulness to doing this. A hover craft, if you will.

Yipes, watch out for the ceiling fan

When I hover, I feel light and airy….until I come back to Earth and reality, with a big BOOM!

If only we could get them to use the Hoover.

I miss Howard….hope he’s ok!

Cats often go too high and get frightened. I’ve rescued several from places like the tops of the kitchen cabinets.

I think hovering would be a blast.

The eyes should’ve been huge and more kittenish for mainstream success. But the heart is in the right place.

I thought that would get a rise out of you. Thank you for the elevated discourse.

hovering is an advanced form of levitating ;+)

…whoa…

…X-mas season…

…it’s all been one big giant blur…

…got my new outdoor Christmas lights…

…from Amazon…

…5 days ago…

…but too busy to put them up…

…probably too late now…

… OR! …

…I could just leave them up all year…

…and call them party lights!…

…no presents for my darling…

…what do you get the gal that has everything?!?…

…ie…

… me ?…

…{ I’m in the Christmas spirit-okay?}…

…I’m Gummie Dam-n it!…

…a whole one…

…it’s Christmas time…

…kids…

…don’t do drugs…

…unless they’re legal…

…like now in Ohio…

…unless you work for a place that tests…

…then…

…see step one…

Sir, I trust you have the ladder of success to make light of the situation.

“I prefer Mary Ann”, he said gingerly. “But Ginger has her points”,he professed.

Skip-skipper and Mary Ann Professor r ight.

Not hovering, but floating, Kitty! Like a helium balloon, go up, up, up, until the balloon is exhausted and falls back to earth. Not to worry: Kitty always lands on its feet.

Or maybe Kitty is just full of hot air….

Volito ergo sum

Hover Cat is not amused.

…helicopter mom meets hover cougar…

…no relation to John Cougar…

…they’re not in the same Mellencamp…

…but both could include nice melons…

…except the Indiana melons could include salmonella…

…and could cost you [sics] Pence…

…or pieces of eight…

…and [sics] eight seven of nine…

…and liked it…

..{ that’s what she shed}…

…Batcave…

…and Robin returns to his green mighty whities…

…proudly…

…and…

…all together now: ….

…and the Joker got away/ broke his leg…

Is kitty blue enough? He looks purple to me. Do y’all call that blue?

At Christmastime, all sorts of bizarre apparitions are to be expected, but may I never see a levitating Blue Kitty again!

Cat shaped craft that hovers. Hovercat.
