Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 03, 2015

Is this a test-tube genetic salad, or are the listed characters the grandparents of this (shudder) child?

We’ll put it in an hour glass so you can think about old times.And the Latest LAME will supply brain sand aplenty for everyone,

Another look at the gritty world of comics.

Arrgh! And also, good grief!Remove this hideous monstrosity from my sight, for it is truly like sand in my eye, even worse than Sand in my Shoes [whereby hangs a tale involving young Sisyphos and a young future TV host, perhaps to be told on a more auspicious occasion]. Dr. Frankenstein was such a thoughtful craftsman by comparison: il miglior fabbro.

Gaze upon the future and weep.Fifty years of comic inbreeding stands before thee.Almost a shame that Pogo went extinct.Deck the Halls with Boston Charlie.

I am being cautiously optimistic and not rooking a gift horsefly in the mouse, given that these are new material and claim to be current.How do I know it was not I that sent Teresa away, by being an incorrigible jackanape, the presence of whom was unbearable?I have been known to have that effect on people.

Nice bow.
