Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 05, 2012

Come on over here, and I’ll wrap my arms around you.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Edvard the ice cream Munch.

I scream, you scream, we all scream, because we are to immature to solve this like adults.

It’s a little known fact that Munch’s “Scream” was inspired by the orange sky over London after the eruption of Krakatoa.

I don’t hug people who look like Nosveratu (even very famous ones) , so go right ahead and scream your guts out.

Now you’ve disappointed me. I thought F B was straight off the top of Ms Burritt’s head.

I didn’t know that guy in the Van Gogh painting was Arabic.

Old Yeller.

Обними is one of those Russian words that just looks like a succession of curves in cursive…I couldn’t figure it out until I noted (yutz that I am) that the translation was at the bottom of the panel…

An old art teacher once told me that The Scream has motivated thousands of art students to ask, “Vy, Edvard, Vy?”

Reminds me of a few of my past girlfriends.

@gaijinrabbit 心からお悔やみ申し上げます.

What? So Teresa and Vlad collaborate on a strip. Big deal.

Of course, collaborationists are looked upon askance in some quarters…

Well THAT hospital ship certainly wouldn’t have inspired much sexy nurse porn.

IN THE ENDThere are 8 million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.

It’s also obviously not a sign making shop.

I never did like a screamer.

Aww, what a revolting development, gaijinrabbit. :o( Thinking about you – sending a big ole hug. Best of luck to you too!

@ Gaijinrabbit -That just sux! Hope you can find a new one.

I understand two “Screams” were painted. Is this that one, or the other?

Looks like Russian cursive writing to me. I can make out some of the words, not most.

Wow! My Russian decoding ring said “Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!”

On the topic of the Russian dog experiments, I stumbled across this documentary of Dr. White’s head transplant research, in which he states that he saw some of the animals involved in 1966. His own research is well-documented and contributed to advances in brain and spinal cord surgery techniques. Just another bit of info to add to the mix.

For what it’s worth, Percy Smith is dead wrong. Spiders are evil, no matter how big or small or clever or pretty they are. Keep them the hell away from me. Brr!

Ultimate Comic Character:Calvin, Pig, Axel,Charlie Brown, Garfield, and Ziggy.

Axel was the one I missed.

@BillThompson: Finding the film on Dr. White was truly a serendipity – I wasn’t even looking for it, and I had not heard of his work either.

wtf
