Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 08, 2010

I’ve never heard of snail caviar. Ew. I’ll stick with my Mac and Cheese.

OK. I see it on the blog. http://obituarytypo.blogspot.com/2010/10/snail-caviar.html

What’s up with Teresa? She’s also suggesting we eat a toad a day! http://www.gocomics.com/shoecabbage/2010/10/08/

I hate being told what I “should” (or “should not”) eat! So take your snail caviar and feed it to Cluck Cluck!

If you slug a beer, will it kill the taste?

I can only think of the Food Network and Travel Channel where they have those dreadful shows.

^ Hectorpriam how about “EAT MORE POSSUM”

Next TV series: Tofu Hunting!

I’ve always wanted to wear a boater. Wonder what that means?

It’s not the wurst thing one could eat.

I prefer macbook and cheese; though, I hate it when my fingers stick to the keys

I think I’d chew off a foot before I’d eat snail caviar.

By the way: In case you’ve simmered down over the female-cartoonist-censorship-discrimination, I direct your attention to Mark Parisi’s strip from yesterday on the other comics site.

tastes like fish eggs

Brilliant mash up of Bee Gees / Pink Floyd on the FB. But as I watched and listened, I thought how odd that someone would link songs from what I remember as being a generation apart. Turns out Stayin’ Alive came out in ‘77 and Another Brick in the Wall in ‘79. Ain’t memory a fluid and malleable commodity?

I don’t remember, jackmatt. Sorry

At first I thought the Meebo bar was a cool idea, but now that I see it also randomly contains another place to put an advertisement I think it’s lame.

snails, or snail eggs, are good if they’re battered and deep fat fried. but what isn’t? i would eat a shoe if you deep fat fried it… even if @ottod’s foot was still in it.

i love the mash up of those songs - makes me want to boogie. i saw something like that once using a three dog night song with a twix commercial. not the same.

Teresa your childhood artwork rocks! And thematically, you were testing the bounds of abstract thought… I was probably busy eating boogers.

And the marquee is awesome - I bet Vlad’s mug would look good surrounded by those blinkies. Or Grace.

Any one figure out how to get rid of that stupid (@!#*ing) meebo toolbar yet?

Would that be escar-roe?

The cat/mirror/lion bit reminded me of this from Pooch Cafe/Ringtales

T., loved your childhood art. Let’s see some more of it, ‘k?

You first….anyone……….

Sunny side up please!

@HectorPriam: It all depends on how fresh it is.

Even Stephan Pastis is getting in on the “Cathy” retirement:

Cathy’s Ghost

I’ve been hiding under the bed with the dog. The Nuns With Guns and the Tonight sign triggered my sphenisciphobia.

An ex-roommate of mine had a gardening book that suggested that the best way to eliminate snails from the garden was to develop a taste for them. (That way there are never enough.)

As an aside, I don’t pay a lot of attention to who does what in Six Chix but I do look forward to Saturday’s art work. I’m sure that Piro’s little “w” shaped tits probably has a lot to do with that because I have mixed reactions to her philosophical foundations.

really, are snails any worse than that pepto bismol pink extruded chicken bits?

beaver - describer as somewhat greasy pork

I can’t believe I’m just now getting here… did I miss anything?

baslim, can you not think of something better to do with beer than drowning slugs in it?

Saturday, 9 X 10–

Get well, Teresa! You get a bye for today. (I knew that snail caviar was to be avoided!)

Serious coolness:

Let’s see. Julia Child. Frogs, frogs, snails, ahh, here it it snail eggs. Do I haave any extra-virgin olive oil?

This is some food trip. no snails, but too many slugs. at least they come already shelled. ugh!

Get well soon, Mz T! I am just getting over a bout with pneumonia. Not fun at all, I promise you. Hope yours is more like a 24-hour “bug” that only lasts for 3 hours!!!

I hope you feel better right away, Teresa! Is Vlad a good nurse?

Teresa, I love you… and to prove my devotion I will slay the evil deadline.

Get well.

Of course, if you eat too many snail eggs, you won’t have room for haggis! Boy are you lucky!

Hope you’re feeling better soon, T. I took this opportunity to go over and see the latest at FAx. Keen. Especially liked “Where the heck is my Prince Charming!?”

get better - miss the weirdness

To quote Edvard Munch:

“Without fear and illness, I could never have accomplished all I have.”

Sounds like something the creator of FA would say, doesn’t it?
