Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 19, 2018

What difference at this point

does it make …?

She took off her dress and smelled a rat smell in the arm holes. She lets her pet rat crawl in and out of the dresses arm holes. How she can stand it is hard to tell. Mom uses scented laundry soap and it just isn’t working very well. What we may not ever know is if Mom and Dad really spend the money for a good soap. Some sort of soap must be able to kill the rat smell.

Tonight, when you go back to your rat hole, smell for the dull and listless moral principles of others who seek to steal your doll clothes.

The kangaroo rat, sh!tting all over your convergent evolution!

I like the no h thing.

Are they Chad and Jeremy or Peter and Gordon?

One thing we DO know for sure is that the Catholic Truth Society does indeed go to bed every night thanking God that it can embrace moral principles in dull listlessness. In fact, around the globe the clergy pursues moral principles with such listlessness that it looks like quite the opposite.

Disparate compared to what …?

[Chorus]

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,

number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number

[Verse 1]

Then there’s this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants

About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire

Everyone of them knew that as time went by

They’d get a little bit older and a little bit slower but

It’s all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who’s always

Umpteen your father’s giving it diddly-i-dee

District was leaving, intended to pay for

[Chorus]

Number 9, number 9

Who’s to know?

Who was to know?

Kangaroo Rat Sunday.

The Answer, my friends, is in the Dewey Decimal System.

Are those rat droppings in the lower right corner of the last panel? Dang. Big ’uns.

Is the racehorse rider at top right holding a balloon? No wonder he came in 9th place.

B.O. shall leave it’s smelly mark from it’s armhole to leave a trace of itself behind as a marking of a territory..

I like the graphic collage layout today Teresa.

The phrase “I don’t know” is dying faster than the art of “No Comment.” Monkey justice is at least as swift as the wanton flinging of poo. O Great God of Lame, please deliver us from turd burglars and ask-holes, in the name of the Lame, the Obscure, and the Unfathomable, nomen.

I prefer Frog Applause to Stolen Doll Clothes but if this is all we can get on a Sunday, I am willing to be bemused at or possibly even perplexed by it. But I smell a rat (not at all like my clothing-armpit)….
