Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 11, 2012

Are there Ford and Chevy decals to go along with them?

re: Marybel Gets Well Doll:

“First produced in 1959, this doll, like many Madame Alexander dolls, could serve important emotional and educational purposes, teaching a child about caring for others or acting as a helpful companion to one struggling with an illness.”

Measles vaccine came into use in 1963. Naturally this was after I’d already had them.

Radish, would you have a copy of that great cat face that I was using as an avatar last year? Mine has disappeared from my picture file. <:-(

Where is Hobbs when we need him ?

Re: WHICH GAL WOULD YOU ASKIn case you’re not sure check FB’s FASHION DO’S AND DON’TS but, then, why not ask them both (and a friend).

Thank you, both!

I haven’t had time to catch up on the Blog yet. I see that my sister has been reading it, though. :-)

I have a peeing Robert L. Thomas, Jr. decal on the back of my car.

Not a single one of those decals are authorized by Watterson. He did the right thing and refused to commercialize Calvin (except for the books, of course). Every time I see one of those things I wish I had shovels and rakes and implements of destruction.

Headed how? With decals? I’d hate to have a decal-head. Even more so if it were peeing. Are you sure you didn’t mean peeling?

I just want one of those to show everybody how it works.

“Lick my decals off, baby”.

The full English (or Irish, or Scottish) breakfast is the kind of thing you’ll want if you’re going to go out and cut peat all day and burn about 8,000 calories doing it. The ones I had in England were pretty sad (cheap hotel); the ones I had in Ireland (lovely B&B) were divine. Not what you’d want every day if you were at a desk job, though – unless you want to end up looking like a Sherman tank.

An advertisement for the Ford Urinator 500.

Hold on a second. Is it just me, or is that TYPICAL GOCOMICS READER just a cleverly disguised rip off of ALICE’S DAD from Cul de Sac?

are you sure its not “babe -on-board” stickers?

if thats what is on the menu for breakfast in England, i need to make reservations…

and he rudely interrupted Jim Lerher!

For a long time I’ve wished to be Calvin’s tea concessionaire.

so nice to see my name in your list of readers.

I wish that William Tapley would move his piano a few paces to his left. He might notice that an approaching train resembles a phallus.

Blog/Bill and Dick : Wow, Teresa…..I was hoping to come out of the closet in my own fashion……..

Funniest strip in some time. I laughed out loud at this.

while traveling in Australia not only did I encounter beans on toast but spaghetti on toast. I guess you can put just about anything on toast and call it a meal. though, having said that, I remember creamed chipped beef being served on toast as a child (sh*t on a shingle), and hating it – there’s no way I’d call that a meal these days. eeewww

re: Bill and DickAll my little years, I watched Romper Room, waiting for her to look into that mirror and say, “Shoshanah,” but she never did! But you did! Nice!http://www.theshaggyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Magic_MIrror.jpeg

Really love the comic today, BTW…

The end is near.Re: WHY DO CATS HAVE PRETTY STRIPES?Is that religious pamphlet stuffed inside a chinese menu, right next to the Pu Pu platter?

Just imagine what the fortune cookie foretells.

They must be in Colorado.
