    (Best Richard Burton voice … ahem!)

    “To Dun, or not to Dun, That is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to bitch and moan of outrageous GoCo fortune, or to get your lazy bodkin over to the Link and get on The List! I jape you not!”

    So that’s why the chicken crossed the road, to get away from its critics.

    …I once heard an interview with the members of the rock group, Journey, once…

    …asked if they would ever change up their style…

    …they replies that their fans would not accept it…

    …another artist was asked if he ever got tired of playing his biggest hit?…

    …oh, heavens yes. I wish I never wrote that song…

    …(oh btw, love Chuck in Love is:)…

    …I know giving interview after interview must stink…

    …[I was going to say suck and strike it out, but I don’t know how to do that]…

    …but sometimes, an interview just might be the correct thing…

    …I don’t read every Govid comic, but I have not heard or read but one other comic…

    …since gone…

    …publicly state that they were going away…

    …that is another reason FA should stay…

    …it openly demands to…

    …of course even Prince was treated like a slave…

    …and they are the Gocomic overlords…

    …heartless…

    …moneybaggers…

    …cough- John Fogerty- cough…

    …mommy, are you a heartless money bagger dream crusher?…

    …yes, honey, now read Frog Applause before I take it off the market…

    …thank you mum…

    …and I promise I won’t draw outside the lines anymore and always laugh at the Calvin & Hobbes reruns…

    …I know you will dear…

    …and I promise no more cost hangers…

    That love-letter burn was pretty severe, I’m saving that for future use.

    I am pensive perusing the words today. So many! Of English I am learning only. I have not knowingness of so much. Of sudden, class could go away, teacher has mentioned, must work hard to compost all wisdom.

    Dear Ms. Burritt 

    The joke’s on you (potlucks organized by Cousin Glenola and I always had average attendance (at least)). 

    Sincerely,

    Today’s missive to the Overlords/Overladies:

    “i understand that GC intends to cancel the strip Frog Applause. The reasoning behind this decision is unclear. Some explanation is in order.

    This admittedly unconventional strip is entertaining & thought-provoking, and followed by many faithful readers- many of whom only come to GC for Frog Applause. This strip is unavailable anywhere else online, despite your claims otherwise.

    Could GC please explain their rationale behind the decision that ultimately lose them readership?

    Thank you"

    i expect the reply, if any at all, will be the anodyne “sorry for the inconvenience” pablum such as the reply i got last night.

    (If you haven’t already done so, check out the link given in the above comment.)

    Thank you Shoppers.

    There ought to be a louse named after GoComics …

    Something like ‘Pthirus pubis gocomica’ …

    Or, ‘Pison eu gocomici’ …

    Or at least something involving a bed pan …!

    The Love-Is girl might enjoy having you being on her web site. You could call it Love-Is-Frog-Applause. If you needed any monetary help, there are quite a few of us who would be more than willing to help.

    After some, I’ve no idea how many, hours of trudging, I happened upon a cluster of buildings off to one side of the byway. One seemed to be a residence, and the rest various outbuildings. None seemed to be in use, and a clear indication of abandonment could be seen in the grass and weeds growing in the short private lane to the residence. These included a cluster of raspberry canes, unfortunately past their season and bare of fruit. As this was my best hope of a roof for the night, I made my way through the weeds, avoiding the thorns, toward the waiting domicile, which seemed secure against the weather, if nothing else.

    How can anyone have seventeen Personal Favorites? I mean, seventeen is such an odd number! Why not fifteen; or better still round up to twenty? Or is this really a problem in Plane Geometry—how many strips can be made to fit into an allotted space “X”?

    In any case, I pity the legless girl not feeling at home here, and gasp for the weakening and finally dying Question Mark—punctuation is so under stress these days of grammar-free “texting” and such abominations!

    And, in closing, I like jujubes, do not like Oregon cheese, and avoid communal latrines like the plague, except when they are picturesque ancient ones—always good for an amusing poopy photo!
