Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 16, 2022

An inundation of… one?    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcupine_(Marvel_Comics)

I think Teresa means comic STRIPS, not comic books. When I think of the word COMICS around here, I think of the kind of comics found on GoComics. I could be wrong. I often am.

Porcupines. I don’t get it. No pork, no pine, no cup. Don’t even get me started on pineapples.

I may be tempting fate, but I am writing another comment because I can! I am allowed two comments per minute, so this is my second comment. And, yes, I still have Bath-Mat Fever, but my symptoms are subsiding… my itchy earlobes specifically.

History Seen? I thought that’s what the History Channel was for, until it turned into a refuge for the tinfoil hat crowd.

Haha. I already saw this word on Frog Blog. So there. #FB00851.

How do porcupines do it? Very carefully.

The eye of the porcupine needle.

The scare crow straw that broke

The camel’s back.

Step on a crack and break your Mama’s back.

Porcupine Badminton is bound to be the very next phase…

Next up is Martin and his signature badminton swing.

Despite the negativity of the naysayer, the comics actually WERE being overrun by porcupines.

I’ve always felt sorry for those poor cupines.

I don’t know whether to believe a person when he speaks out of a quadrant of his face. I mean, two-faced is one thing (Dick Tracy villains notwithstanding), but four-faced?

Another example of pointedly lame misinformation from QuillAnon!

No point in histrionics over hystricines.

Unique artwork today! Great! BTW, Get Fuzzy was phascolomian today…

Today’s offering should be zoologically classified as Cut And Paste gone wild …!

Sesquipedalianism was a popular form of humor among people born around the turn of the 20th century.

…oh, I thought you meant hysterical…

… Awesome…

…an armed opossum…

…nuff’ said…

Chaise Longue, by Wet Leg, on You tube

Is your muffin buttered?

Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?

Excuse me (What?)

Excuse me (What?)

Hey, you, over there

On the chaise longue, in your underwear

What are you doing sitting down?

You should be horizontal now

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, all day long, on thе chaise longue

On the chaisе longue, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue

Hey, you, in the front row

Are you coming backstage after the show?

Because I’ve got a chaise longue in my dressing room

And a pack of warm beer that we can consume

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue

On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue

It means, “I don’t care”.

I don’t mean to sound hystricine (it means I do mean to sound hystricine), but among my regular set of comics that I read here on GC is The Grizzwells, in which a dim-witted but lovable porcupine named Pierpoint is the sidekick to featured character Gunther Grizzwell, a rather heavyweight Grizzly Bear, married, with children, but whose lifestyle revolves chiefly around eating and sleeping.

Other than that, I’m not too hystricine. I do like hedgehogs….

Don’t quill the deal.

Drove past Saint Teresa’s of Calcutta today. There were no frogs in evidence, though I believe I did spy a Tadpole Field out back.

Day 2. It’s too late! The porcupines are already here! Mankind is doomed!

I just want to get this to 100 comments.

Went past St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish church. The figurines have all left the scene of the creche.
