Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 29, 2012

Blue kitty has always made me a little leery…

@cleokaya Re: my clip. It was for a 48 hour film challenge – a 6 minute film written, filmed and edited within 48 hours, which also had to include a designated character, a prop and a line of dialogue, with the genre pulled out of a hat. This was my only scene.If you go to the actual youtube page, you should be able to scroll down and find the full film in that playlist.I just refrain from directly linking from this account or putting my name in indexible text to skirt around the google beast’s bots.

p.s. I am in love with this spunky kung fu kitty…

Thank the powers that be, we have our whipping boy back!! YES!!!

And while I’m on a commenting roll… I’ve just remembered: I ran into Emery the other day (the hula hooping busker), and you’ll be happy to hear that he’s grown a massive, awesome beard that he kept in a knot under his chin.

Welcome back. Not quite sure what your avatar is, but I think you may be boasting just a little bit.

Now, is there anyone else who should be reinstated?

How could commenters not know that they are invisible? Do they see their own posts on a page, but no one else does?

Kung-fu Kickarooni, the San Francisco Treat.

Yo! Gweedo! I believe Teresa has been saving up a whipping for you. Take care; we don’t want to lose you again.

I am Kitten! Hear me roar! Kung-fu Kitty! Can’t be stopped!Teresa, remember what happened to Dr. Frankenstein when his creation rebelled!

Well I’ll be dipped in doggy doo…..welcome back Gweedo!

Today’s comic made possible by Shaw Bros. Studio.

I can understand why, that kitty is freaking me out.

Beware of Hello Kitty!

BEWARE!!!

Gweedo, count me among the welcomers-back. You were missed.

Re: Logical word for fear of one’s comic strip characters…

comoediapersonaephobia?

Comoaedia : Latin for comedyPersonae : Characters in a play or novel

Having no actual knowledge of Latin, I had to wing it.

Welcome back to the forum, you were missed. . ☺Pastis, Teresa is pointing at you . . . ☻

^I was thinking Pastis as well….

Nice to see you back sir.

I used to live in a mobile home. Every once and awhile possums would move in. I didn’t let them stay long though as they would spend all night moving around and rummage around my heating ducts which made an awful clanking racket. I bought a humane trap amd would catch them with dog food, then haul them several miles away.

Autoeffigiaphobia is what I’d suggest.

Hey, @Gweedo! Good to see you infesting the back alleys of the internet again.

re: a logical word for “fear of one’s own comic strip characters.”Religion?

I’ve got to agree with the comments about eBay and PayPal. I’ve used both services frequently, because thus far there’s nothing better out there for the small businessperson or average curio-seller, but every time I use it, I feel like I’ve been boinked in the bung. Sometimes you can get free insertion (ha! ha!) but there’s always the end (ha! ha!) value fee, which also includes the shit uh, shipping fee, and then PayPal comes up in the rear (ha! ha!) and takes their own shot. Half the time I realize it’s not worth my time to sell something for a buck, what with the listing, and packing, and shipping effort.

Welcome back, Gweedo! We have all missed you!

that kitty has found her inner Purrrrrrrr!

ribbit

Possums are disgusting! Ever since I saw one crawling out of a dead bloated cow’s ass, I run over or shoot every one I see. Since they moved northward to Michigan about 15 tears ago, we have less partridge here . They are a menace to bird life, as you have stated.

I see all three gentlemen are thinking of Bubbles.

I’m opossum-neutral but for the haters, some small comfort might be in knowing they have a very short lifespan relative to similar sized animals. They also have tiny brains for their size so the French taunting is true for them (except maybe the part about wiping bottoms).

Welcome back, Gweedo!

Chalk me up as a ‘possum hater. We lived in Detroit just after we got married, and our house had a grape arbor over the drive and part of the back yard. Gawd, those grapes were a supermagnet for all things wild. We had every kind of bird, opossum, raccoon and coyote in there eating the things (but surprisingly, I never saw any rats). One winter I was out shoveling snow in the drive when I heard rustling in a garbage can. I opened the can to have a ’possum jump out and start ambling away. I smashed its head with the shovel and scooped him back in the garbage can. Shocking but true, I’m an unrepentant killer.

Saw your picture number 6, such a cutie!

Was Gweedo gone?

Am I blue? You’d be tooooo….see, folks, before there were “Dawg” and dog this and dog that, there were cats. Man, and those cats could play…!

I’m thinking “Phufiitaphobia”,Pronounced Foo Fighter phobia.The spelling is just to make it look scientific.Gweedo’s back? I didn’t know he was sick.

I stuck with the Greek and came up with komikokaraktirasaphobia, which is pretty darn lame, if I do say so myself.

GWEEDO! WELCOME BACK!

“Kung fu kickarooni” … catchy!

Stephan Pastris applies this theory to “Pearls Before Swine”.
