Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 08, 2010

So come closer, much closer….

The heartbreak of long-distance love. I wonder if the b/w image signifies that her love interest is older or from the past. This is a sweet mystery. I love how we get to fill in the blanks for ourselves with Frog Applause. Beautiful strip today. Thanks, Teresa.

Okay, so I’ll Fed-Ex it… it’s no big deal.

Does our Resident Fairy Expert know anything about Hermaphrodites?

By the way, what restrictions does Fed-Ex have on what can be delivered via them?

I don’t trust red-headed transformers. I don’t trust distant importuners. I don’t trust much at all…. Whatcha gonna do when Mistrust runs all over you?!

@ransom: According to this: http://tinyurl.com/yf593ao , there’s a White Glove Services division that handles even hazmat materials. Who knew?

ransomknotts, yes, no live animals, or dead bodies.

@Gweedo. Maybe Viagra would help.

whaletail, hazmat is standard cargo at FedEx. I picked up my share of radio active.

JudyParka yes, I love today’s artwork.

@margueritem. You’ve received radioactive packages? Or are you one of the people with special qualifications to pick them up for transport?

then they transform into a monster truck and save the world again.

Gee, I missed the FA chat - drat this Appalachian dial up. One of these days I’m turning this copper phone line back into a moonshine still…

Honey Pie?

As a mailman, I delivered many animals “Livestock” rate.

Back around 1900, a family found out it was cheaper to ship their son livestock rate than to pay the train fare. Postal regulations were quickly changed.

Intriguing art and words.

Lew, if you’ve been humping mail since 1900, it’s time to move over and let those young whippersnapper octogenarians take over

So you leave it to our imaginations, Doc?

whaletail, I retired from FedEx 8 years ago. When I left, any of the drivers could pick up or deliver hazardous materials. We all received training on safe handling and how to placard the truck, and check the paperwork. For a while, I was picking up radioactive material for medical use. I’m thinking that the White Glove service may be for things that require delicate handling.

Handling radioactive material. That explains a lot, Margueritem. ;-)

How we got from that cartoon to handling radioactive material, to hermaphrodites, to the Beatles “Honey Pie” video, then to U.S. Postal regulations for circa 1900, is why we read the comments, isn’t it? Judyparka and Doc Toon actually addressed the substance of the comic. Is that even allowed? I love you guys!!!

Ray C: Isn’t that the unique thing about Froggy… on any given day, a discussion forum breaks out on subjects faaaaar off the content of the strip. I’ve discovered this goes on here more than any other comic online at GoComics. I think it’s totally cool. I - commented on the dialogue in the strip by making a Federal Express reference, and WHAMMO!….

Ray C snot! ;-)

Great panel set Teresa! I’ve no clue what it means, but based on the weekend’s comments, it’s likely risque.

And here we all thought that clean living and mountain air was responsible for that special glow, margueritem.

Ah, this is Teresa’s secret. She puts up a cartoon about absolutely nothing. It’s a cartoon “roaring shock test.” (I can’t spell Rorschach.) Then, whatever is in our twisted little minds comes out in the comments. Meanwhile, she is completing her Ph.D. in Psychology of the Feeble-minded at our expense. Of course, she will throw nighthawks under the bus, after he supported her through all this, and she will get custody of the inflatable goat. I see it coming (not the goat, the situation).

Aaagh! He looks like my ex-boyfriend! Run, girl, run!

Wow. I love the HONK! video. So creative.

I can’t make mine honk at all, even just a little. Do you have to be female? That doesn’t really seem fair…

I’ll stay over here, then.

And Caril Fugate on the left, BPM?

(I don’t WANT to pull your finger - you don’t even like tilapia…)
