Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 24, 2018

I accept your proposal, Teresa. We’re engaged. Who will be the first to congratulate the happy couple?

Does he have a bucket list in his bucket?

IT’S WORLD TURTLE DAY!

I won’t mince words. They’re both a little pail.

Whatever flips your lid,

And makes me wig….

Everybody needs something.

An old version of Grinder

An earlier incarnation of Beavis and Butthead, called Meathead and Bucket, achieved wide critical acclaim but never gained any measure of popularity. It simply never spoke to the audience, and would have to wait for a later day.

I do love the garments today … and am amusing myself with trying to guess the vintage of what looks to me like advertising art.

Sign on dotted line if you are not a latrine bucket………………………………………………….

A p!ss pail, then?

@PAINEDSMILE

Well, DIS-engage and get back to your neutral corner!

And when they did speak, the grinding noise echoing within Bucket’s head made them unintelligible.

More than a latrine bucket, less that a spittoon.

I recognize the one on the left as a lawmaker. Luckily, I’ve never seen him work.

Bucket head: “Step aside, urine my way.”

it’s a grinder and a bucket, what ever ya through in is what ya get out; seen ate it no further comment

Content is as content does, so grab your monkey, or in this case maybe a gimpy frog in a top hat with a lilting lisp, and go stand on the gocomics street corner (organ grinder style) and watch the tips and content rain down as Frog Astaire delights the gathering crowd with a lame little jig.

Organ grinder, organ grinder, you are so offal!

Ground Chuck and Peter Piper.

I wonder why an image search of today’s ’toon brings up allusions to Zoloft?

Seems to me I saw something awhile back regarding the coat depicted in the ‘toon, but I don’t recall the details.

Further searches reveal the style of coat, but the ads are more interested in the Fedora to be worn with it.

I would not have a latrine bucket. Nope. No way. But the meat grinder, on the other hand, reminds me of the one Grandma used, fastened to the edge of the kitchen table back in the Old House, to grind her brains. Bless you, Grammy!

Off with their heads! Sister is doing her Queen of Hearts thing today. Noble sacrifices for the Cause, and all that.

All this suspicious beheading of advertising icons and grinding of bits seem to me to be an oblique reference to Mackie Messer. http://tinyurl.com/yarr6wuv

Mackie assaulted, stabbed, burned. Sister just grinds away at improving FA (as if perfection were capable of improvement)!

Surprise, surprise, surprise! (Think Gomer Pyle). 3hourtour has deleted his comments for today. Why? Why post in the first place?

A pail sometimes has a lid, a bucket never does.
