Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 17, 2010

So true!

Amen!

Check Dick Tracy and you’ll see that I, like a lot of people here, have been unable to see the new installments of the comic strips which should have gone live about twenty minutes ago. Two of you can see the new FA, but I can’t.

As with DT, therefore, I shall now make up my own hypothetical image of what is happening in today’s FA.

Let’s see…

Whatever it is, it struck a resonant chord with Judy and Marg….

OK, I’ve got it! I’m picturing a woman lowering a man made out of oak into a wood chipper. She’s smiling at the viewer and saying “A hard man is good to grind!”

I think Judy and Marg can’t see it either, and they are just egging us on.

Flight Suit is nearly as weird as Teresa.

I do a couple of things to trick a comic into appearing.

ONE. I manually type in the current date. Sometimes, I get a “70 error” message, but sometimes it works. http://www.gocomics.com/frogapplause/2010/03/17/

TWO. If you click the “?” (to enlarge the comic) it will also “magically” appear.

That’s how I was able to see Teresa’s strip today. Hope this helps.

Maybe Teresa will see our comments and post today’s strip on Frog Blog.

Thankew Judy. I tried that, but it didn’t work. Also, I can’t find a question mark to click.

FS: I see a question mark in the middle of Fusco, for example. Try clicking the center of the comic and the comic will pop out enlarged. It did for me.

So, somebody please tell me if I guessed accurately? I think the ability to psychicly divine the content of FA before it comes out could really be a marketable skill.

Ahhh! I see that Teresa posted today’s FA on her blog.

Maybe Teresa will see our comments and post today’s strip on Frog Blog. ———————————————–

From your lips to God’s ears!

Plus: More monster movie mania!

Thanks for putting FA on the Frog Blog, Teresa!

–Any guy knows that it is pretty near the truth.

BTW, does anyone else think the Creature from the Haunted Sea looks like Cookie Monster on crack?

He sure does!

Now then, since Teresa’s shown us a little of Toho’s take on the King Kong franchise, why don’t we have a little look at what Toho did with Frankenstein’s monster:

Teresa, you’re a genius!

to Ransomknotts re yesterday’s spelling,

Sometimes my left hand doesn’t know what my right hand is dloing. See? there it goes again.

Time to duck out of here and go see “Room 43”, looking for the black swan, Odile. It’s a movie best understood by adults,

Don’t you people ever sleep?

Thank goodness for Frog Blog. Too bad the rest of GoComics isn’t posted there.

True that, zoomhey. There’s not one comic on the Sherpa!

Teresa,, in addition to the ‘regulars’, there’s us ‘silent admirers’ who follow FA and your blog daily, but don’t feel worthy of posting too often. We are legion and we love your unconventional perspective.

@Everyone - Teresa said “spork.”

Great idea posting the comic on your site, Teresa; and it was a great one. The comics have been coming and going all morning. Truly weird. Guess I’ll go back and give Dick Tracy another shot (no pun intended). BTW, does anybody but me line up their comics in alphabetical order? I feel like I have to do that, and when I add a comic I have to move it into the right spot. And honest, I have never retained a single a_nus in my whole life. Alphabetical order just seems “right” somehow. You should try it. Once I learned the alphabet, it was easy. Reminds me, back on my forty-third job, as an explosive underwear tester…

from the blog, re: “Splits” This has to be the ‘Observer’, in a bit of whimsy, another time, another place…..(cue the creepy music)

if u cn spl, u cn gt a gd jb.

My subtle hints and gestures are often thought of as groping by my wife.

Sterling blog, today, Teresa!

I just order my comics in the order I want to read them. FA and the Fusco Brothers are the last two on the list.

locoowl: The best for last –or the least favorite for last? Ha.

Wow. I missed all the fun last night. What exactly happened on GoComics or rather did NOT happen?

If she beaches her landing craft on his frenular delta he might start to get the message.

The plot line for the 1942 “Cat People”: “When naval construction designer Oliver Reed (Kent Smith) sees Serbian born beauty Irena Dubrovna (Simone Simon) at a zoo, he flirts with her, and soon they fall in love and marry. Complications arise because Irena believes she is the victim of an ancient Serbian curse that causes her to turn into a panther if a man tries to make love to her…” (Whoa doggies! I’ll bet it’s no fun making love to a woman and having her turn into a panther!) Another one in the public domain - can be downloaded here (legally) - need a BitTorrent client, such as Vuze:

And actually, Teresa, as a previous smoker, I always found one ashtray per bathroom to be sufficient. At times it might need to be slightly moved, but I was able to deal with the inconvenience.

I’ve never seen the original, but was a little weirded out by the remake with Natasia Kinski, Malcolm McDowell and John Heard. The Giorgio Moroder soundtrack was awesome with David Bowie humming along to the electronic-infused bongo rhythms… whatever the hell that means. I just know it was bleeep sexy, baby!

yes, 3hourtour… yes she did
