Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 24, 2024

Well, I’ve already been cast out into the Pits of Darkness, to perish, so I guess I can get by without some more bad news.

" I do not wish to alarm you, so let me tell you that you should be alarmed."

If being a better person means you had used birth control, you would not have to experience the “terrible twos” at all (and don’t worry if you decide to remain childless, because the world is in no danger of running out of new human babies).

Too late, some of them have already happened.

perhaps perhaps!

My alarm alarm just went off.

My Lame Alarm just went off …AGAIN …‼️

Cancel my meows.

I don’t think karma works that quickly. So the terrible things that are about to happen to me, Bring ’Em On!

Electronic Sign in front of Saint Teresa of Calcutta parish church:

Faith is a journey, not a guilt trip

The curse of Cassandra except I detect a bit of schadenfreude.

Meh, I am unmoved by your demure caterwauling. Besides, Chicken Little has got you beat with one wing tied behind it’s scaredy-cat back. The fever pitch at which he rings his toxic tocsin, has people embracing madness. I hardly think they would even recognize your passive aggressiveness. I suggest you abandon your hollow pursuits and instead turn to something more lucrative, say perhaps divination. You may be surprised at the wealth available through observing the insanity dance going on around you. It is not unlike the reading of beaver entrails or the dowsing for gold. It takes a keen sense, of course, to divine the fools from the gold, but I have a feeling your precociousness will carry you through.

Just kidding . . . terrible things happen to everybody . . . good, bad, or ugly. Even when you are crossing the Styx, be ready to swim.

Too late! I fell and landed partially on my face, nearly breaking my nose. At least my front teeth didn’t break off. Did Nostradamus predict that would happen?

Don’t vote for the people who promise to do terrible things to you.

Your wish to not alarm me has alarmed me.

A bunch of alarmists, the lot of you.

I’m a pretty good person, but I bring it on myself so I really have no other expectations.

If terrible things didn’t happen, almost nothing would happen at all. According to the media.

I have been telling myself that for years. I didn’t know everyone knew it.

The rain falls upon both the just and the unjust….even in an Election Year….

…it’s ok…

…I have a safe word…

…they have told me this since I was two…

…Joe Biden’s fortune cookie a week ago…

…I am the rubber…

…you are the glue…

…everything you say bounces off of me…

…and sticks to you like glue…

….(except I don’t mean it…

…I wish you many many blessings)…

…the start of my last novel…

…ha!…

…I’m a Browns fan…

…I look myself in the mirror…

…and say that to myself every July…

…the gummy & the three 25 oz. Natty Daddys…

…sat in front of him …

…Project 2025 in my hands…

…What…

..JD thought…

…am I about to get myself into?…

.. reverse psychology…always works at the start of a new day at the Bathmat factory ……

Karma

Get the Lame outta here and into there …!

( don’t ask because I don’t know )

Just karma down.

The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 26, 2024

Mothra Teresa

So what’s new?

If anything else happens, it is what it is!

Trouble knocks on my door when I least expect….

The Lame remain in a holding pattern until all the trays are stored and your seats are in their upright position …!

( …and the pilot’s health improves )

Nobody knows the troubles you’ll see

Nobody knows your sorrow

Nobody knows the troubles you’ll see

Froggy, Hallelujah

Lol

Um, should I be alarmed that the comic has not changed in three days?

@Meh~todology, fka Pepelaptur. Didn’t you get Teresa’s newsletter about her being in the hospital and having blood transfusions? She’s trying to recover, I think. Hopefully, she will be back in lame form soon.

Mouseover note on a Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic:

“Favorite fun fact from researching A City on Mars was how ASTP in 1975 had to have androgynous docking so nobody was the girl spaceship.”

Just visiting ….

A friend and I were discussing our various misfortunes in 2024 and laughing ourselves sick. It’s such a stupid year.
