Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 17, 2012

What a touching story.

And they lived happily ever after.

Yes; “The Handbook for the Recently Deceased”……..I look forward to reading it although I think my hands might pass through the cover.

Bed bugs are not good.((

Re: under investigation, At work someone has the same shot in motivational poster form with the caption “GIRL SCOUTS, next time you’ll just buy the damn cookies”

Wow, a banner day on the blog for me. First Under Investigation with that awesome picture of the little girl and the fire. Then one of my favorite sayings on Blame You. And then the Handbook for the Recently Deceased from Beetlejuice.

Betelgeuse.Betelgeuse.Betelgeuse.

Looks around. … Darn. Didn’t work.

Irony at its best.

Someone feed those turtles, for crying out loud!

my clothes used to be all ironybut now they’re all wrinkly

Remember when we used to say " Sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs bite. " ? Bet that fire was at a hotel in New York or a motel in Florida.Traveling ? Be afraid….Be very afraid !

Re: RUBIK’S CUBEI knew there was a reason I liked that puzzle. Color me cubist !

I’d like to see how she works that Rubik’s cube.

A thoughtful nudist carries a towel to avoid bare bottoms on furniture.

i suck at computers also, but it sounds like a problem i had recently with my internet provider.it fixed itself…(something to do with “bandwidth”? i could, and probably am, wrong.)

@cleokaya (THE FLASH)so do galactic hitchhikers…

I AM…Time can be divided in to three separate and equal sections.Before me.During me.And, after me.This works for every one.

I must be getting a different version of this comic.

I see no playground equipment, no naked lady sitting on a leather sofa or anyone trying to work a rubick’s cube.

Did I get a censored version???

All I see are bed bugs migrating to a firehouse.

Does your browser have a toggle to show/hide images on a page that you might have accidentally activated?

Poor old Vincent, running completely out of suitable subjects for his paintings – in the end he was reduced to painting some stupid chair!It must have driven him mad, no wonder he shot himself in the ear.

I Am, on the blog:

Rita reading. Beauty and brains.Whoops! I believe the book is upside down.

The bedbugs are shacking up with the fireflies.

Stunner of a watercolor by Becca Stadtlander, Teresa. Neat!

If I never see a bed bug it’ll be too soon.

What a nice children’s story rehabilitating the humble bed bug!We, however, are not children!

The Klimt painting seems to be you, Teresa.

Reality is an illusion.

Wednesday, 18 VII 12: Normal Posting Time +2 hours. No FA. The gods themselves weep!

I’ll wait until the page changes before I make some blog references.

2:24 AM Pacific time, and still there is no new Froggy.

I protest!

Hey.Well at least i bettered my number 61 position.

Great blog today, but I miss the strip.

Teresa, if there’s no Frog Applause today, let us flashback to the 8th when ARTISAN CHEESES were the putative subject. Which led to a good chuckle when I saw the headline for this article¹ on Artisan Cottage Cheese in our local paper.¹Yeah, the physical paper. I still read those. But do you think I could find the article on their web page? No. I had to do a Google Search for it and link somewhere else.

Rambling Vulgarities…….I used to date her in the seventiesI also dated Veiled Insults…..

Cool; Frog Applause and the Fusco Brothers both made the “Recommended” bar.

RE: HEAR RECORDS OVER THE PHONEWonder what the creator of that idea would think about today’s iPhones and 4G Phones with all the music apps.

Good blog today. I miss my Froggy Fix!! FA grows on you the more you read it.

There was a time when webcomics were the poor cousins of the real thing but time moves on. Instead of a couple dozen comics in the Sunday paper or a few hundred titles in a comic book store we have tens of thousands of comics on the web. A presence only on paper would be very limiting. Many of my favorites could never have existed in such a limited market.

My current definition is that authors of comics and web comics have different economic models. A comic author sells their comic as the end product, the web comic author gives that away (basically it’s merely a branding/marketing tool) and sells merchandise as their primary source of income. Hence the difference between, say, Topatoco and GoComics.

Re Blog:.Is Kermit naked?.I hope Tommy and Buzz lived happily ever after..Was that really Ghandi? If so, who was the woman?

Donde esta el Frog?

Re blog:.Wouldn’t Mary have Breast fed Jesus?

—And now it’s Thursday, 19 VII 12, a bit after 1:00 AM local time (normal posting +1 hour) and no FA for a second consecutive day. Are you not well, Teresa? Or just experiencing a bit of a creative block? We are concerned….

Re missing strips:.Get well soon, Teresa.

Guess I don’t have to read this any more. Same…same…same.

Hope you’re feeling better soon, Teresa. Love your work.

Get well soon, Teresa!

Get well, Teresa. And don’t worry, we’ll survive.

On the other hand, I would be willing to accept as substitute a series of handwritten notes explaining that ‘Teresa couldn’t make it today because her pet hamster has the hiccups / she is still recovering from seeing a REALLY BAD movie / a gypsie told her not to’, etcetera.And before you know it a new art form has been born.

The other ladies are beautiful but Catherine Deneuve’s je ne said quoi or French lady confidence or whatever is beyond anything.

Teresa – Sorry you aren’t feeling well. Hope you feel better soon. We all look forward to your next creation.

Get well soon, Teresa.ROCK DOILIESThose are just the thing for this one homeless guy we see occasionally on running club runs on the trail by the river here. He carries a similar sized collection of similar sized rocks and pebbles in his backpack and lays them out in careful patterns on the ground, talking softly to them as he does so. Doilies would just add that certain je ne sais quoi.

sorry you are feeling down.take care of your self, and have a little chicken soup…(i like the rose at your lame announcements.)

Teresa, Thanks for the update spot on your blog. I’ll wait for you to feel better. I also like the rose.

Lots of strips are missing these past two days – hope that’s the reson for no new strip.

Teresa, I’m sorry you’re feeling out of (your usual) sorts. Rest well and get better. I miss my daily dose of your inspiration.

Teresa wishing you feeling better. In sorts or out of sorts we love you all sorts.

Teresa, I too wish you a speedy recovery- and not just because when you’re out of sorts the whole GoComics empire seems to go haywire. Get well. Feel the love.

Oh, Teresa! 20 VII 12, and my bees are all practically kneeless from praying! We are your purpose, we will be your flour! Knead us as we need you! Bake us until we brim with deliciousness for your sake!Fight! Fight! Fearless Frog Applause Followers! FA forever! Onward, for Teresa and Victory!

—And now today is up! Q.v.
