he never kids about stuff like that, Flossie.

Does the burger come with warts”

SNOWY GOOD MORNING MARG & CARMY

That’s even worse than toad in the hole.

Yuk!

Sounds like something only Calvin would eat!

Somebody’s gonna croak.

\\//_

My mouth is watering.

I never heard a toad go “croak”.

is it baked toadburger ?

i could never complain about what was in my lunch…i always packed it myself

You beat me to it, Fer Lefer.

I guess that means either the joke’s grown old or she’s grown up.

A tribute to C & H.

Flossie’s had laryngitis for a while now…

aerwalt’s got it right, I think. Flossie’s line “If you don’t want to trade, just say so” came directly out of Susie Derkins’ mouth in response to one of Calvin’s descriptions of his lunch, if I recall correctly. Same set-up, with a twist on the payoff.

^^ It’s funny that the bearded and hairy little troll is allowed to post on online forums with human beings.

I don’t hate you, I hate your inane posts. When you don’t post nonsense, I leave you alone.

THESE ARE CARTOONS.

In cartoons: Trolls can go to school.

In cartoons: Cavemen can have TV sets.

In cartoons: People in heaven can have wings and halos.

In cartoons: Dogs can “think” dialogue to babies.

Anybody with a brain in their head knows how these things work.

And if anybody WANTS to have a strip explained for them, they’ll ASK. Otherwise, explaining a joke kills the joke.

Your provincialisms, your irrelevancies, your non sequiturs, your “authoritative” pronouncements that are simply WRONG. And you REPEAT yourself, day after day after day, voicing the same idiocies… For crying out loud, Joe, for your own sake and for the sake of our collective sanity, REFORM, REFORM, REFORM!

Wow,

Tip of the Hat to fritzoid.

Doc, I think you are right, I did one other post a few ago, but will ignore him from now on.

Flossie will regret that remark, when they trade lunches!

I think it’s funnier that human beings are allowed to go to school with trolls. Think of the bad habits they could learn - like liking toadburgers.

Dr. Toon, I don’t think the Dotyman wants attention, I think he’s sincere. From what I’ve gleaned from his less objectionable posts, he has lived an interesting life and has a viewpoint that could be worth listening to in many areas (he’s an openly-gay senior citizen, as well as a staunch Christian, and he lives in a part of the country where “gay Christian” would often be considered a logical contradiction).

But he has an air of something like temporal (or cultural) displacement about him. He can be startlingly literal-minded, and seems to be confused by metaphor, irony, satire… For all of his education and experience, he seems to distrust (for want of a better word) sophistication. (I don’t mean that as a slur on Oklahomans; he’d still be a bumpkin if he grew up in Brooklyn.) He’s seen the world, and he didn’t like it, and by God he has some changes he’d like to see made.

Don’t trade lunches with him, Flossie; it’s no fun to have a frog in your throat.

PS: Rock on, fritzoid! Get a life, Doty!
