Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 03, 2012

Good for you for understanding your turtle needs mental stimulation.

Breathe in- Breathe out

So that’s why Teresa needs us readers to feed her turtles.

She must have a truly exceptional turtle.

Inquiring reptilian minds just want to know.

Re: blog

What a great boost for my ego to start the day.Went to the blog, clicked onto and dragged the hanging balls, and received a terrific round of applause.Thanks for getting my day started on such a positive note.Gonna be a great day.

The blog: Sophia was waaaaay beyond classical.//Like I think a lot of folks, my wife’s aunt turned her 50’s era bomb shelter into a vegetable cellar, but I don’t recall her wearing a sweater vest.

Always think of my father’s work in “Man With A Cloak” when I see Leslie Caron.

Feed the snapper.

The “BOY’S BRIGADE” … “BB” … caused me to remember an old radio show I listened to as a kid … “BOBBY BENSON and the B-BAR-B” (B-BAR-B was the name of his ranch … in “western adventure lore” that meant that the cattle were branded with … B-–B)

The zoomed-in image is suffering from blackouts?

A turtle’s curiosity knows no bounds.

does he get sad?Turtle Blues

i dont have fun

Today’s strip begs the burning question to be asked: " ARE YOU A TURTLE ? "

DID YOUR BATTERY COME FROM A GOOD PIG?Small ingots of metal are called pigs. Looks like a small ingot on the left. Someone was advertising (or discussing) metal quality in batteries would be my best guess.

Is today’s caption a euphemism?

“…I ask about your turtleAnd you ask about the weatherI can’t jump a hurdle andWe can’t get togetherWe could be relaxin’In my sleepin’ bagBut all you want to do for me, Mama, is

Rag Mama rag, there’s no where to goRag mama rag, come on, rosin up the bow

Rag Mama rag, where do you roamRag Mama rag, bring your skinny little body back homeIt’s dog eat dog and cat eat mouseYou can rag Mama rag all over my house…."

From “Rag Mama Rag” by J R Robertson with The Band

There’s nothing more relaxed than a sated turtle.

I noticed the zoom out blackout, too! Another fascinating aspect of Teresa’s tooning skilz!

Fascinating background today, Ms. T!

Sophia Loren – her eyes are just intimidating!

I’m also old enough to remember the B Bar B. Bobby Benson was actually played by what they then referred to as a midget. I don’t know offhand the PC term.

Yes, yes it is.

So! I’m back. You’re here. Your turtle is a mutant! Nyah nyah nyah!

Seriously? Has noone here seen “The Color of Turtle”? “Turtle Rain”? “I Am Curious: Turtle”?
