Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 29, 2021

Yeah, that could be it. I was looking for Scary Gary. Where are my damn glasses?

I prefer sniffing Gain.

I like my Pine Sol with chocolate flavor.

My job at the bathmat factory doesn’t pay me enough that I can afford Pine Sol. I scoop up water from puddles that pine needles have fallen into.

(SSSSNNNNUUURRRFFF)   Well, I’m quite sure that I have no idea what you mean.

I go for radon and a tap beer. A good head on the beer and we search for the headless pretty pink ballerina in a jewelry box. Spin with Ole the tough Swede bouncer.

…now, I feel guilty for coming to Frog Applause 25 or so times a day…

…but, I am not exactly a reader…

…I absorb the whole FA experience…

…sometimes, I am here just for the pictures…

…sometimes in the hope of just seeing Herbert Anderson in the comments section…

…I even have sometimes came here just to look up new an exciting words…

…and if I am just staring…

…it is probably just a form of meditation…

…but I usually save that for Blondie or Judge Parker…

…I chant…

…see if the ice will melt for you…

…ice honey…

…over and over…

…it is quite the Lulu…

…but not on Hulu…

…only on Gocomics…

…except for Blondie…

…it’s not on Go…

…as Judge Henry X. Harper says…

…no I won’t. He’s a Republican…

Without the supernovae to provide the intense conditions required to produce heavier elements, there would not even be a bath mat factory, nor anybody to work in it. Tell those ungrateful wretches that they should thank their lucky stars for the people staring at them.

Pine-Sol is bupkis, man. I have seven gallons of mimeograph fluid that should last me until the millennium.

I am gob smacked but Pine-Sol is the new bleach.

We’re all high on chemicals, leading to brain fog and slow moving actions. Methinks!

OSHA has come and inspected numerous times but they can’t seem to find the source of the symptoms employees are having. They are closer than they appear so caution when going through the lanes.

sorely misguided ;+)

She’s onto us.

Frogbert, the disgruntled employee.

Pine-Sol spills in aisle 4 are becoming more and more common …!

Are you gals on break? Is this a zoo? Is there a detention center handy? Maybe they’ll feed me.

I put Pine-sol in my morning coffee.

When people have been staring at me, I usually find out later that part of my anatomy was exposed that shouldn’t have been. Or that I unwittingly dribbled some food or spilled my drink on myself. It ain’t because I’m pretty, I’ve learned.

I’m not sure I like getting told off by cartoons who are smarter than I am! Maybe I should take their hint, though, and sue the highly-profitable Froglandia Bathmat Factory for Unsafe Working Conditions and Reckless Use of Hazardous Materials and stuff like that, for about a gazillion bucks. —Froglandia does have environmental laws and workplace safety laws, doesn’t it?

Pining for Pine-Sol?

Teresa, you broke the fourth wall.

Little do we know, this part goes on the factory’s shipment to NASA. Secretes are always possible that A STARSHIP is in the works. Gotta go Chester is spying on me.

I am back…why did the bullfrog and bulldog cross the boulevard?

Day the Next. I keep staring and staring, but those two toonies won’t take the hint and get lost….

Wait a dog gone minute. A no show makes for a kick the seat square in the chair.

Will you give us something else to look at if we lay off the Pine Sol?

SOL.SOL….Scheeze Out of Luck…

…this is why we can’t have nice things…

…when you keep breaking the 4th wall…

…1st 3-D ….

…now 4th wall breaking…

…what’s next?…

…breaking the glass ceiling?…

…new repeats?….

…I associate pine sol with puke & sickness…

…I want nothing to do with it…

…plus,it does nothing for being lame…

…cuz Jesus cured the blind…

…but I get my cured meats at Stables in Raymond…

Another day, another… Oh! Hark! What’s this? A message from Sister!

We are saved (coming soon to a cartoon location near you)!

… if Frog Applause were a rock band it would be Nirvana…

…with hints of The Doors…

…and a taste of Pere Ubu…

…(if you haven’t heard David Thomas’, ‘The Birds Are A Good Idea’, you haven’t lived)…

…well…

…you have lived…

…probably a great life…

…back tracking…

…not just for records anymore…

…on one original copy of an American version of Abbey Road…

…on the front side of the vinyl…

…between the final song and the label…

…urban legend says there is written a hidden message with a telephone number to call…

…now…

…that’s Frog Applause…
