Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 06, 2023

That’s why I never order the acorn and peanut toppings.

Squirrels are cute…until they eat your pizza. Or your face.

Squirrels are varmints.

Never make out with a squirrel.

Taunt a squirrel, and it will blind you, scribble all over you, and steal your lunch.

Pizza will do that to a squirrel and a person.

Have’t posted one of these for a while…. Journal of Comic Strip Coincidences: 5/6 Oct 2023—Get Fuzzy (5 Oct), Super-Fun Pak Comix (6 Oct): Ruff

…this guy is the only guy I ever heard of to hunt squirrels from a blind…

…Daredevil vs. Squirrel Girl…

…it could had been worse…

…it could have been a Pappa Johns…

…“Nutz!”…

…from you-in you…

…he’s lying…

…I can read it on his face…

…it used to be easier to become a deacon it the Catholic church…

…I think I just read this same comic in Mark Trail…

..or was it Hi & Lois?..

That was Squirrelese for "Help yourself "

be careful – some squirrels know judo…

And you’re absolutely certain that was a squirrel.

Squirrel: “If you’re going to attract my attention, you had best be prepared to take me down, especially when there is pizza involved.”

Hmmmm this strip is weird, but I kinda like its style!

pizzas have rights too

Ike needs longer arms.

Rat needs a conscience.

Frog Applause™ needs ARAST.

Enough said.

The squirrel was small. But it was wiry.

Never kiss up to a squirrell or any fury critter…..they’ll turn on you in a sec! ☺️☺️

Squrrils are tough, but try fighting a seagull for a piece of pizza — you lose more than your eyeballs.

It could have been worse. It could have been a rabid squirrel and gone for the spleen … 2 eyes, 1 spleen (maybe) …!

I wonder if this is the same squirrel that was involved with the “Mississippi Squirrel Revival,” at the First Self Righteous Church?

Ralph the squirrel would never do that. He’d wait for you to turn your head and then swoop in. Because pizza!

Yeah, squirrels r’ nuts!

Kissing sounds while eating a pizza? Could it be you had it coming?

Jest be glad it wern’t no possum! Them things are vishus.

And now you’re being held hostage in the squirrel’s basement, forced to read the nutjob’s Manifesto.

Never eat an acorn and pepperoni pizza outside.

But seriously: our parents’ neighbor did trap squirrels and cooked them in a stew, or roasted the whole thing on a spit… He gave that meat to them too, and mother usually made a stew or cooked it in a soup. She also learned from his wife how to make a terrine (a meat loaf), and a tourtière (meat pie).

He showed us how he killed them, and skinned them, dried the fur and later made it into slippers and sold them at the flee market, etc. … He learned the trade from his father. He said that he wanted to teach his kids how to do it, but they were to squeamish …

Squirrels can be like seagulls if they’ve had experience with humans feeding them.

Apparently, that squirrel really KNEADED the pizza.

The squirrel won.

Memo to self: Never Let Make Kissing Noises At A Squirrel … He’ll Think You’re Nuts!

Eatin’ pizza in the hot sun

I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won

I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won

I needed thinkin’ but I had none

I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won

I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won

I lost my pizza and I feel so bad

I guess my race is run

Oh, it had the best crust I ever had

I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won

I fought the squirrel and the squirrel won

—Bobby Froggy Four: I Fought the Squirrel

You started it, Lime-folded Lady, blind beast [so many other B-words came to mind, but I chose to be circumspect in the usage], pizza-temptress! The squirrel merely reacted in accord with its avaricious, squirrelly instincts. No sympathy here for your whiny little apologia.

I pity the pizza….
