Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 05, 2012

I read Pearls Before Swine out of pity too.

Ah……..my life has finally become a cartoon. What? No syndication!

I, too, deciphered Pearls Before Swine as the only-partially-obscured title. And the cynical reader’s description could be considered apt, I suppose. But some read it out of a love for low humor and gentle jabs at society’s ways, as well as out of an almost forsaken longing for the simple ways of Pig’s worldview. And we laugh at the doggedly dim crocs.

No sophomoric humor here. Too many seniors.

Pearls Before Swine has some great puns. If Teresa is poking fun at PBS, I’d guess it’s with affection.

Is the picture in the blog Martha Stewart the singer/actress?

heh, heh, you said “strip”.

Most of my work gets read out of pity—a professor once pointed out that if you took all the theses and published papers where the results section should have been only about seven words—viz., “But I was wrong. It didn’t work”—you’d save billions of trees.

Hell hath no fury like Pibgorn banished readers I guess.

Hey SoRW, I’m reading FA, Pibgorn and Pearls Before Swine .. now does this make me look smarter than I am, or really dumb? Please, I need your cutting insight.

Re: the Blog and the Tokyo picture. Tokyo train stations can still be that crowded. I miss them. Okinawa could really use a train system. I blame the Americans who ran it after WWII. Although, Okinawans don’t consider themselves Japanese, so it makes some kind of sense they wouldn’t necessarily have trains.

Stand up. Walk around a bit. Maybe your undies will readjust to a comfortable position.

I am smarter than I really am.

i like rabbits…

Ruth Smythers reveals that I am a pervert. Here I thought I was just randy.

@Teresai don’t always “get it”.its not your fault.i’m just a bit slow, is all.i see no attack at anyone in particular in this strip.

OK this is an awesome blank Teresa did and I’m going to have some fun with it. I hope some of you others do too.

It’s really easy to edit in IMGUR. You don]t have to buy any software, just edit in IMGUR and then click save and then grab the HREF so you can post it back in here.

Note: of course Teresa didn’t suggest this but she hasn’t sent Vlad to hurt me so I think it’s OK.

Hint. Click on the pic to go to IMGUR or to see the whole thing.

Blog Is Queen Vic handing out condoms to the nurses? That’s very thoughtful of her, I mean with all those lusty young doctors around.

I was married once a long time ago to a women who must have read that pamphet. She believed in abstainence before and after marriage. By year three it was down to once a month as she lie there motionless. Her mantra was “do with me as you wish”. So, we got divorced. I was charrged with extreme mental cruelty. HA!OTOH, an interesting juxtaposition of posts with ANITA and the troll.

I LOVE the article about Common Sense in the Government. If Only!

My guess is the Fusco Brothers. Her goComics neighbor is often a target.

OK lunch is over and I’m done. Msg me if you can’t figure how to work IMGUR to do that. If I get banned, I probably deserved it but I’m coming back as a bedbug to ruin your summers.

Am I the only one who wonders why the Rev Mr. Smythers even married that woman? Was she the only woman who would talk to him or what???

I bet that most writing doesn’t benefit anyone but the writer.I enjoy the comments about as much as the comics, and I’ve always loved comic strips. There, I said it.

I only read regularly the ones I like. And I DO like Pearls.Sophomoric humor, I are that. Hit yourself with a wet mop, you’ll have my attention for your punch line…other people may be too complex for simple humor…other people have complexes, I have simplexes.

Sigh .. so you don’t like art either.Please keep us informed if you run into any more things you don’t like and that ignite your indignation.The world wants to know.

As a lover of Latin American Cuisine, I must point out that the Taco is really a Tostada, and a Gringo-fied version to boot.Vlad’s cousin Guillermo, ( third cousin-twice removed ) , will back me up on this since we are drinking buddies. No Yo Quiero Taco Bell!

Teresa, I loved the Fordite. I hope that Ray_C sees that, because I think that he had a piece or two of that.

That Johnny Cash photo on the blog? This machine kills fascists.

Brooke McEldowney is a guy?

I read it because I’m big on LAME!!!

Amazing how the really good strips attract the silliest trolls…

I yam what I yam. -Popeye the Sailor Man

I just thought Teresa was taking a shot at Pastis out of jealousy. I didn’t know it was a rib and I didn’t know she was a huge comic strip fan. I am sorry for saying you were filled with jealousy against other cartoonists.
