Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 11, 2017

How can you be absolutely certain that now, of all times, is in fact not the very best, the only, the most perfect time, to panic?

It’s that exotic poopage sheen that makes your canine the talk of the town!

Today’s strip, like so many others, is a secret cipher of some sort— of that I am convinced! I have long suspected that “Frog Applause” is the front for a super secret organization. If only I could break Teresa’s encryption. I also suspect that 3HourTour is involved in some way, perhaps as a nescient patsy. There are probably other conspirators… Brass Orchid, Rotifer, sumosasquatch… The Old Wolf most likely knows more than he’s willing to tell and Sisyphos and Randy B, well, I don’t even want to fathom their unsavory involvement. (I fear for my life now.)

Easily amused with low standards? Then you’re a happy dog.

You had me at “roll in woodland poop”.

Rubber Soul…an album by The Beatles.

If the kid is reading FA to the dog, I can feature the dog’s head tilt becoming permanent.

So Bear’s poop in the woodland?

Put your fishing waders on Old Fart, cause it’s getting deep round here.⚓

Does an Old Fart make a sound in the woodlands?

You had me at poop.

A special breed of two legged dogs that can read?

@PAINEDSMILE The TDL would like to “invite” you to a BYOS* party later today. Come to the abandoned warehouse at end of the dead end road on the outskirts of the ghost town at midnight. Tell no one where you are going. Come alone.

My son reads aloud perfectly. As my son reads the daily comics halfway through from the newspaper to his grandmother’s dog, his grandmother’s dog suddenly begs to go out for a potty walk. My son does not ever seem to finish reading the daily comics from the newspaper to his grandmother’s dog. I think that the daily comics from the newspaper acts as a laxative for his grandmother’s dog..

Sorry, everyone. I overindulged on some “fermented” apple juice with my graham crackers last night. It happens.

I am using a Kindle, an Amazon Fire Tablet with Alexa and can put a few things like the anchor on…⛲

What’s not to like about a literate dog? On the other hand, I am not enchanted by a supercilious dog that looks down on comic strips as if they were naught but paper to pee on. Fishing with the Old Fart (a category into which I may fall) might be fun, but I will keep the faith and tell doggy Number One that he should be so lucky as to have Frog Applause read at him (even if he finds it nearly as perplexing and Dada-esque as we humans do)! So there.

P.S. to PainedSmile: I am still reviewing your case. Meanwhile, always sit with your back to a wall. It’s a sensible thing to do in these perilous times….

My Father… God bless his soul…..was a member of the so called ‘Old Farts Club’ with fellow members at Pubs, Taverns, and other shady places. Their high sign was to raise the middle finger! Then sit and BS thru the afternoons. He was well into retirement age.

The difference between a kid with the comics and an old fart fishing is the limit of the imagination imposed by the comics, where none is found rolling in woodland poop.

I not so sure woodland is the woods, and fishing for what?

Chase birds, ya like a Penguin’s victory tonight…wink wink 3hour….how far off is PAINEDSMILE?

@SPACE CAPTAIN CODY

Why, fishing for compliments, of course!

“Like my snazzy new waders, Bertrand?”

“The water-proof pockets are perfect for stowing fried baloney sandwiches and a complement of refreshing beverages.”

Ooooo should be Penguins vs. Predators!
