Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 22, 2010

I’d say you’ve been sniffing the monkshood, again…

Strange poem with which to sooth a prince, forsooth!

Speaking of “ballless”, is this how Abelard & Heloise got started ?

Well the majesty does seem to have a shell.

If my name is Doug and I’m not here, does that mean you are all Douglas?

He has a shell in this hand. He has frills on his cover, and they are standing in front of a wall. The question is: Does he have king-size balls?

I have no clue. I am clueless. I can work with that.

callless, fallless, gallless, hallless, mallless… Are there others?

Balls, said the Queen, if I had them I’d be King Balls said the gay Prince, I have them and can still be Queen

I demand equal time for bats & raquets.

@grapfhics huge LOL - though I’m sure that’s been around - I never saw that version - Oscar Wilde?;-P

i give this comix three hockey sticks… LLL…

I think his wall’s made of sticky notes, so maybe it doesn’t count.

On this one I’m cluelesss.

That does look like King Stephen, who may not have been ballless, but did an awfully good impression of clueless.

@jukeofurl: No, I added it to the first line about 25+ years ago. Don’t remember what prompted it, guess it was an attempt at “witty repartee”.

@coltish1: More likely Ethelred the Unready, the last Anglo-Saxon king. Died childless, Harold of Wessex assumed the crown and the rest is history. Ethelred is reported to have spent wedding night with wife and mother-in-law. Those English! Was she there to protect her daughter, to help Ethelred or a Royal Menage a Trois? eh, Teresa?

Perhaps His Majesty is inbred, so he’s also brainless, or maybe he’s got “clue balls” or actually “clueless balls”?

you make no sense, teresa your are senseless

At least A, A, Milne’s King John acquired one ball: http://tinyurl.com/yfysyoo

That’s a seashell in his royal hand.

Hey, it’s Fishnet Friday. TGIFF !!!

All I can say is that I’m getting a sore spot where I’ve been scratching my head.

So, nighthawks, all my years of worshiping Baphomet have been but a waste of time? I have knelt at the altar of a false god? Then to whom shall I turn for evil? (I’ve been out of touch - lost power (AND water) for over two days in No. California. Trying to catch up on the three days of comics I’ve missed is no easy task, let alone email, etc. I had hoped, unwisely as it turns out, that Baphomet would help me through this…)

…and the servant shall soon be Headless…

There is no spoon, either.

You have nada.
