Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 03, 2022

U bet me too.

O what a feelin’.

It’s always stunning artwork, stupefying captions, flabbergasting themes and dumbfounding elucidations.

I’d walk a block,

To see Frida The Sock Puppet.

My face is permanently damaged.

I also have no control over my puckered and dimpled anal expressions. How would you like a permanently puckered and dimpled tush as a result of reading Frog Applause. I demand monetary compensation for my (currently) unattractive beeehind.

Reading FA a few times will have negative consequences. Reading FA long-term is known to result in profound and chronically damaged faces. It also causes hard-to-treat PTSD.

I’ve had that same expression when the last few remaining strips of bacon were found badly burned and inedible.

I haven’t, either, but my face looks less grim, from the start of it!!

I just realized I don’t either.

She’s not to be blamed. Clearly she has “Resting Björk Face.”

Eventually, I developed the ability to read upside down, but her face still remained a mystery, even then.

I was always one to make faces, so reading FA only enhanced my ability to expand, experiment, and experience the endless contorted movements FA provides!

MUST. EXERCISE. EYE-ROLLING. MUSCLES. FOR. POLITICAL. “COMICS”!

Reading Frog Applause is for me, primarily a cerebral exercise. How that affects my face, I’m not sure. I’m pretty sure my behind is just as unattractive as ever, however.

When in doubt, always go with RBF.

Grimly Fiendish reads the Frog for a laugh.

Braving the Bureaucracy: Episode Seven

“Let’s begin then,” said Sheldon Backwater, “Did you bring your falcon?” As I was looking at the form and expecting to be asked to provide the data for the first entry, this question was something of a surprise. “No, sir. I don’t believe that falcons are actually allowed into the building, unless they are service birds, of course. Recent changes in the emotional support animal regulations have also eliminated anything that isn’t small and fluffy.” I cannot imagine what he was notating on his screen, and could not see it, or decipher it from watching his hands on the keyboard. It seemed to go on for a few paragraphs, however. I estimated it to be roughly two hundred words. “Very good,” he said, “what varieties of falcons will you be training?” “Well, sir, I have only one, and it is a Froglandian Woodchuck Falcon, noted for its speed, dexterity, and its ability to fly through underground burrows to catch woodchucks. Froglandia has no ferrets or weasels, you see.” “Ah, yes. Of course. The woodchuck falcon. Do you feed it woodchucks, or does it eat something else?” And for all this time, he was typing. It dawned on me that he had access to all of my information already, and was filling out the form while making conversation. “It will eat any sort of rodent, actually. Mice, voles, chipmunks, squirrels, political opinion and editorial cartoonists. It won’t actually eat woodchucks. Too big to carry, you see. You have to train them to kill woodchucks, really.” “Mm-hmmm, yes, Are you quite certain that it isn’t a dachshund, then? Those require a different form entirely.” “Um, yes, sir. It has the wings and beak and all of that.” “Okay, then. Your papers are ready and waiting at the clerk’s desk, where you may pay your permit fee. Good luck with your falcon!”

Today’s offering is Lame in triplicate …!

( are those chest tattoos or just deflated dialogue? )

The vise like grip of Frog Applause is well known among the cognoscenti.

Doxxed: Teresa Bagioli Sickles (1836 – February 5, 1867) was the wife of Democratic New York State Assemblyman, U.S. Representative, and later U.S. Army Major General Daniel E. Sickles.

She gained notoriety in 1859, when her husband murdered her lover, Philip Barton Key II, son of Francis Scott Key. At his trial, Sickles claimed for the first time in United States jurisprudence a defense by temporary insanity. He was acquitted.

My face does this when I read it: :)

Ah, yes. Your facial expression. You have one?

Frog Applause I read in solitude, careful never to reveal any “facial expressions” I might accidentally happen to have whilst reading. I suspect “frown” would not be uncommon, as I cogitate on possible witty commentary. Or dull. I probably do dull better….

A dower dowager I’ll wager.
