Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 10, 2024

That’s exactly my expression. I’m so excited.

As you can see, I can’t face it.

But, with Grace, you can.

Yay.

Are they available in ‘super’ size?

They said it was crazy, to offer a free towel and bathrobe with your first order. They said that an item of slab pottery was more than sufficient as an inducement. But they were wrong. Once people ordered from the Bath Mat Factory, they became loyal customers, enjoying top quality products and low, low prices. The loss leader robes and towels were a very small investment in the future.

I watched as they were relieved of their positions, loaded their office chotchkes into banker’s boxes and marched out into the rain. And I laughed. Oh, how I laughed. The Expansion is well underway now. The Bath Mat Factory is coming for you, Bezos. Your empire will lie in the dust at our feet! And then, Ali Baba. And then, the world!

Muh-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaah!

Even though Oglethorpe’s conviction for Pretty Larceny was overturned due to a Spelling error, his ad agency never recovered. Clients didn’t want to pay for cheap cut-and-paste ads — it reminded their customers of ransom notes.

…more like slab poetry…

…concrete poetry…

…suddenly…

…words paint a picture…

…Frog Applause standing alone …

…all along….

…here I am rambling along like a prat…

…I’m dense as Osmium…

…yet, light as hydrogen …

…poetry in motion…

…floating like a butterfly…

…stinging like a bee…

…AI for the AI…

…I can call you Freddy …

…and Freddy when you call me…

…you can call me AI…

This must be at the Froglandia Bath Mat Factory!

I just love when they give away a free towel and bathrobe….and the slab pottery is outstanding….

You can get the towel and robe in matching colors…hurry before they run out of your favorite color….

If Kevin Nealon was Mr. Subliminal, She should be Mistress Subliminal.

Gonna get me a free towel AND a Much Needed bathrobe!!

O, and some slab pottery….that, too…

wondering about the “slabs”

I’ve always been a bit of a slab.

Yours truly, but extra ham on the tenderloin sandwich, makes for fat man in ja bathroom.

I think it was Eric Scott’s comment the other day that got me taking a closer look at your compositions. They’re quite interesting.

Yet another well-constructed comic.

Slab pottery—that’s floor tiles, right? Kudos to the marketing folks!

Get back to me on “slab poetry.” And forget using those forensic anthropology shows—too easy.

Hero Mixture. Is that your run of the mill heroes mix?

But do you accept WolfCoin? That’s what I want to know.

..this FA would fit right in on the back cover of a 1973 comic book…

…the only thing missing is a pair of x-ray glasses…

…{now, I know that I am alone on this}…

…but what I consider being the best comic book ever made…

…being….

… Kamandi #29…

… (the issue where Kamandi fights the gorillas over Superman’s costume)…

…in my humble opinion…

…this DC, Jack Kirby creation is the most comic book comic book EVER!!! …

…and this FA fits right in with that great issue…

Great composition … is that an elongated scribble I see …?

a tour de force
