Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 12, 2018

“No law says that discovering a new idea must be a comfortable experience.” — Sir Isaac Newton.

Mischievous squirrels. Knocking people on the head with apples.

When it the last time there’s been a wordless FA?! Teresa must have lost her dictionary.

Looks like a peach, or a persimmon. Hovering, like a halo. Or the cartoon indicator of a fruitful idea.

Like the fruit, Trace dose not fall far from the tree.

Sir Isaac Kindle?

go figure? going to Philadelphia to map Mason Dixon line…draw down lineman off sides…football stuff!

What ideas looked like before the light bulb was invented.

That last blissful moment of ignorance before the Enlightenment.

And thus the demise of ENIAC.

She misspelled 

F=G([m1*m2]/D^2)

Macintosh attack …!

Adam and Eve’s blood was thicker than the apple water?

An all-natural food delivery service!

Young tween contemplating life as an Etch-A-Sketch negative. If time flies like an arrow, and fruit flies like a banana, then why is it the old man the boat?

Discharged, from the tree armpit..

Where’s the silhouette of the worm?

The Giving Tree on April 1

Mostly drawn with a single white line on black background. But there are those pesky little spaces at armpit and knee of the victim, and, of course, the truth-telling apple itself. It strikes me that a little knowledge is a painful thing. What if a whole tree-load of ripe fruit pelted the kid? Death by apple? Pounded into applesauce (tabloid headline)?

When the idea strikes, duck! Or wear a helmet. There’s a lesson for us here, kids. Something lame….

An allegory for every artist; waiting for the inspiration to hit.
