Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 11, 2012

My Friend Flicka! I’d recognize you anywhere; but you seem so small!

Teresa you have the bestest computer game on the block.

…how do I insert the music note symbol?I tried using ‘alt 13’ and nothing happened…

Joygorging is always nicer with a friend.

In twelve straight lines, they broke their bread, and brushed their teeth, and went to bed.

The “Doing Things The Easy Way” reminds me of poster I saw a long time ago. it showed a similar maze, except the rat had bulldozed a straight path through the maze to the cheese. The caption was “The object is ‘Get The Cheese’, not ‘Run The Maze’.”

Oh, it’s TARPON! I really should get my eyes tested ’cos I thought it said something else.

It makes slightly more sense, now.

…the guy in the comic must be a Mormon…a Mormon friend once told me that there were small horses in the new land when they arrived in America…

Is there a strip for Jan. 12? It’s 5:20am PT / 8:20am ET and still no strip for today up yet.

one of the most popular girls in H.S. would have put it, “any dick’l do”.. in after thought she really had a problem… wonder how things turned out for her..

Anyone else having trouble with the strip not updating?

To me the horse here looks more like Fury and the guy sure looks the other part.

It’s been a while since I’ve been properly engorged.

Strip did not show up on my ‘list’ yesterday or today. checked COMICs and there was Teresa. Will do that first tomorrow if a noshow..

As another random bit of trivia, my mother was married to Whit Bissell’s brother for a brief period. I’m sorry it didn’t work out, because it was one of the better years of my childhood in many ways. I recall meeting Whit on a number of occasions and he seemed like a very nice gentleman to an 8-year-old.

You mean he’s the Nazi Dr. Doolittle?

Those “How and Why Wonder Books” were really cool science books when I was in the first and second grade. They could explain the basics without talking down to you. And it’s still amazing to think that some of the basics of science are so simple that a child can understand them.

I remember one example that showed two clowns with chairs. One chair was nailed to the floor and the clown was straining to lift it. The other chair had a feather on its seat and the clown had lifted it with ease. The book asked which clown was working, then explained that it was the clown who had raised the chair. Work is force over distance, and the other clown hadn’t made anything move.

An other way is to use Open Office, (Free, totally compatible with Windows Word ). Use the word processor, ‘Insert’, ’Special Characters, choose the dollar sign. Press ENTER.

I meant the musical note.
