Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 24, 2012

Leaves me wondering.

Basil is still my favorite.

Herb Repertoire? From the Mexicali Brass? I have all his albums!

@JohnnyDiego, if you could attach an armature to Mr Rathbone’s corporeal leftovers, you could power Topeka from the spinning… groan

A very suspicious-looking herbalist, if you ask me (and you didn’t). Nothing against the lemon verbena, however.

You’re an old sage, INGSOC. :)

Verbena there, done that.

“…but I like adverbena even better,” Tom said, parsley.

Re: MATCHES

With all due respect (REALIZING OF COURSE that it is your blog and you are the artist and you can do whatever the hell you want), there was a better caption: “ADDITIONAL MESSAGE”.

@beviek – Ark. & Okla. my ass. I live in one of those states and recreate in the other, and real Arkies and Okies never say “Ick.”

P.S. (and apropos of nothing in particular), Will Rogers said that when the Arkies and Okies moved to California it raised the IQ in all three states.

We’re peeling away layers of this large, kindly-looking man. You just never know what you’re going to find.

… but of course we all must pay homage to the Chia !!!!

Is Cilantro an herb? Aww, doesn’t matter. Still my favorite.

…but, are you goingto Scarborough Fair?

The Tea Time Dog: Originally appeared in Life magazine, and was called ‘Old Dog Tray’.

Ghandi’s 7 dangers to human virtue seem toFit fit bo Bitt, Bonana fanna fo FittFee fy mo Mitt, Mitt!

Simce I really love to cook amd bake, I am a fan of all herbs. We have an herb garden, that lasts through the winter, but it has a tough time because we cut from the plamts so much that it takes all sprimg and summer to recover, especially thyme. Unforrunately. Basil is an annual jere.

I find it interesting that marg finds the entire panel peaceful. With the stark contrast of red versus black, it is anything but tranquil. Yet, I can see marg’s point, the strip does give one a sense of completeness and tranquility. Hmmmmm.

I must confess … I’ve been spending thyme with Rosemary.

Fantastic combination of Jesus from Big Lebowski with the Last Supper… especially his bare feet under the table!

re Blog: The Big Lebowski Meets The Old Masters In The Work Of Joe Forkan is the first thing I thought of when I saw that.

Somewhere in my undigitized slides I have a picture of a mosquito biting a leopard frog. Like the ticks on the snake, not something I expected to see because I thought there was a major thermal component to those insects finding meals.I have a big digitize everything project planned but it’s not done or seriously started yet, sigh.

@ Blog:Amazing how Charlton Heston manages to overact even while reading a magazine.

However, consering which magazine he’s holding, is it safe to say that we’d have to pry it out of his cold, dead hand?

OH!!! OH!!! I DO!!! I DO!!!!

… and … I eagerly consume both!!!!

@Teresa: Even thought the image itself is mis-spelled, could you change the title to “Gandhi’s…” – The editor in me won’t stop screaming…

I have a hard time looking at that poor snake, but the only comfort is that I can tell it’s being treated by a veterinarian, who will soon remove those horrid beasts.

I can think of several parties I would invite your clown to, but not a kiddy party. Then again, I can not think of any party I would invite a kiddy to.

@blog:1. Shuoldn’t that be Mother Superior Dolores Hart?2. If Anita Ekberg were MY sister, I’d….....…be Swedish.

RE: Blog – I did NOT know that Kafka wrote a Peanuts strip featuring good old Charlie Brown.

Good grief, Teresa … you’ve expanded my brain!!!

Spring be cumin in (NOT cyumin in, Martha Stewart notwithstanding).

I haven’t seen the “Manly Art of Knitting” for some years… I try to keep order in my bookshelves but by the time I get to one end the other is already hopeless. Once, long ago, in a pre-digital age, I dreamed of converting everything to microfilm but I couldn’t film as fast as I could find new stuff. Just the other day I found a mutilated copy of “English Through Pictures” left over from that project.

I like Tarragon, Basil and Thyme- in a bottle.
