Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 27, 2011

Add that one to your collection.

Something seems wrong in the GoComics universe. Things take about 10 times too long to load…

margueritem said, about 2 hours agoFlight Suit, where have you been? -——————————————————————Ever since Dick Tracy stopped sucking, I haven’t been as quick to get on GoComics right at 10:10PM when they post the new day’s strips. Therefore, I suspect, when I’ve commented later in the day, people have been less likely to see my comments.

Static cling?

You asked what people specialize in. Languages are my thing. I’m fluent in five, can get thrown in jail in about six more, can fake people out in about a dozen others, and have a working knowledge of countless more. It comes from spending a career in the translation and translation software industries.

He picked it up at the Army-Navy Surplus store

Re: Los Angeles 1970’s, it’s a unique drive-in, nothing like the cookie cutter stuff that’s around today.

So, how long have you been in our nuthouse, and what did you do to gain admission to this very exclusive club?

Towel? The steenkin state hospital didn’t give me no towel

News-wise I’m not sure your return is on a par with cats sleeping with dogs, disco making a come back, Carrot Top moving into the apartment over your garage, or Chevron conspiring with the Chinese to put saran wrap over all our toilet bowls, but welcome back, FlightSuit, anyway.

For Five buck I’ll tell you what I do best.Full refund if not satisfied⁹

⁹Less postage, handling, sevice fees, and billable hours.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels. A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.

Adams, Douglas (2010). The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (p. 21).

However, it makes no mention of ‘Nut House’ towels.

No fair, I was only given a nuthouse wash cloth.

For five bucks I will have dinner with you Teresa and I will even treat you to a hot dog.

Entertaining the galactic delusion that you’re OK, just as long as you know where your towel is.

So many comments……T—- You thought you had a comic strip and ended up with a chat room. Thank God Flight Suit’s back and those bath towels are good for keeping your fan from rattling. Frog On.

Then would he be asking for a bath house nut towel?

Nuthouse? Is that why all the doors are locked? I thought Vlad was just playing tricks on us.

Hmmmmm.. I thought that nothing was standard in the nuthouse ..

Special skills/knowledge:

@gaijinrabbit: 少しだけ。Studied it formally for a year at university, about 35 years ago – everything I’ve learned since then has been by osmosis, self-study… and back issues of MangaJin.

@dogsniff: Yesterday or the day before, Teresa asked us what our special abilities were over at frog blog. I was just responding to her request.

Thank you so much for sharing the Porcelain Unicorn.

Yes, it was lovely.
