Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 19, 2015

All he needs is silly putty!

Interesting comics-related story on snopes here.

This is why compartmentalization is important on the comics page. One malodorous selection can ruin your appreciation of another, less awful, selection. A fine dining experience is difficult to appreciate when you are seated next to a dumpster filled with ripe refuse.Unless you are a crow, of course.Then you will laugh at anything and there is no such thing as a bad smell.

The kid just learned why newspapers are called fish-wrappers.

And, of course, some comics are like a fragrant cheese, suitable only to sophisticated, trained palates.For further information on cheeses, web search for:“monty python cheeseshop sketch”

He must be reading Mad Magazine….

Another possible explanation, from

Waiter!More cheese that smells like men’s feet, I’m about to read Mallard Fillmore!

Like a little Petey Otterloop, what we have here is a picky reader. Or maybe he just likes the feel of a clothespin dangling from his nose. Could be fun, I guess…. Or Teresa doesn’t like (at least some of) the comics and expresses that sentiment here metaphorically?

Its the news that stinks. Not the paper…

We don’t need no stinking comics!!!
