Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 29, 2016

“Frog Applause” is going to receive therapy? That’s very brave of it, and we’re all behind it as lamely as possible!

Not yet FDA approved.

Just the thought of such therapy works wonders for constipation.

I thought I was receiving “Frog Applause” therapy —every day on GoComics and for FREE. And I’m not even a PRO member (I was briefly a PRO person after winning an Easter egg hunt prize several months ago).

Is that stick horse rider… dare I say it … Jeb Bush? He sort of has a low-energy look about him.

Not everyone can handle “Frog Applause” therapy. The side effects are not for the faint-hearted. Over the years, the hair on my head fell out but my ear hair looked like Rapunzel’s. I also grew a vestigial tail. Surprisingly, my head has less hair than my tail. Woe is me to be cursed with a hairy tail. Still, my “Frog Applause” therapy was worth it.

WATCH OUT, some of these hair-brained therapies have a hidden cult message woven into them, be afraid “Frog Applause”, be deeply afraid.

What is the sound of one frog applauding?

I’m afraid it’s hopeless, Doctor Burritt. We’ll have to lobotomize the readers in order to keep up our subscription numbers here at Frog Applause Clinic for the Mentally Weird and Bunny-loving!

It’s probably because all of them are woo – with the possible exception of hypnotherapy which must be administered by a finely-trained professional and which is not without limitations.

I consider Frog Applause to be highly therapeutic. Lots better than Dr. Carter’s Little Liver Pills.

Have you tried deprivation therapy? Works very well for those who have nothing to lose.

@barticle35Frog Dammed Applause? Yes. of course.

And the chances of success are equivalent those of that steed winning at Ascot.

I was captured and taken to a Frog Applause conversion camp where I was tortured by having to read the anti-Frog Applause strips. I escaped and here I am back at the mother ship.

I’m curious about that dude on the left. Is he:

1.Looking out an imaginary window?2.Using an asylum contraband tool to cut an escape hatch?3.Skipping rope with an undersized rope?4.Skipping rope with a regular sized rope that looks under sized due to an optical illusion?5.Holding up a sketch artist’s upside down depiction of the GoComics logo (sans the eyes)?

(or maybe it’s just nothing – yeah – that’s probably it)

Is there a therapy for recovering from the side effects of Frog Applause therapy, and will it get rid of these voices? What, who said that?

For me, intense “Frog Applause” therapy is reading Teresa’s archive. It’s interesting to note the progression of the comic from her Grace the Face period and the rotation of other regular characters drawn in narrow, compressed panels (like in a newspaper) and the later panels that are various sizes and are more surreal and sort of outsider art. Teresa’s humor is also less blue (Overlord Therapy involvement, maybe? Any conspiracy theorists out there?) but it still intrigues me.

Humor is for the weak and for the gallows.Ergot, I like mine rye.Don’t worry about the burning sensations.That is just the flames of the True Believers driving the Frog Applause from your soul in an ancient purifying ritual.“You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtimeIs that all you get for your money?”-Billy Joel: Anthony’s Song

I think the guy in the red mask is The Miser from Commedia dell’arte.

Go carefully.I’ve said too much already.I must go now.Do not try to follow.

I will follow him, follow him wherever he may goThere isn’t an ocean too deepA mountain so high it can keep, keep me awayAway from my loveDo-do do-do-do do-do-do and where he goesI’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow

Was her name Tammy?

Frog Applause Therapy leaves you feeling fine as frog’s hair without that annoying Brylcreem sheen!

Live local hardcore punk rock shows in garages and basements are quite therapeutic..
