Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 16, 2024

Well, mush. I try not to stew over it.

My soup—like my brain—is tomato based.

So you wanna peel a tomato?

I think it’s a pour relation of soup.

Soouuuup of the eeeevening, beauuuutiful sooouup.

I will certainly call that soup. Does anyone think that there is some other soup I should call instead?

Soup Nazi, he’s not…..see?

I grew up thinking that all soup was bad, because this stuff was all we ever had at home. I was in my teens before I discovered that there was such a thing as good soup.

Gazpacho for hard times.

mmm, mmm, good!

…aliens from Uranus came and with only a few gallons of Pacific ocean water…

…had enough of the Earth’s primal soup….

…that they know more about than we did ourselves…

…did you know T-Rexs spoke almost exclusively…

…Cockney?…

…just a cosmic coincidence…

…

Due to my blood pressure being slightly higher than it should be, I have to pay more attention to the salt content of what I eat. Because of that, I’ve come to think of canned soup from the supermarket as consisting of mostly salty water, with various chemicals added to make our senses think it’s something else. Thankfully, soups can be made at home that are both nutritious and also taste very good.

You want better soup? Go to a better lunch counter. Canned vegetables simmered in canned tomato soup is our mainstay.

In a Zombie cafeteria, Braaaaiiiiins must be fresh, never canned.

No, I call it a blue scribble.

From soup, to nuts.

Soup from a can is just a convenience when you want a quick meal.

Although, in the 40’s and 50’s, tomato soup with grilled cheese, and cocoa with mini marshmallows was popular after playing in the snow.

☺️❤️☺️❤️

never put anything in one’s ear smaller than one’s elbow ;+)

much finger pointing

add water makes its own sauce

Hey, an early-career Avery Schreiber doing an ad for…Something to Eat! The layout artist went a little overboard with the pointing-finger visual aids, though. Well, what can you do? We’re talking early half tones here, barely removed from scratching a symbol in the sand with a stick.

you call THAT a hairdo?

Now that’s using your (chicken) noodle!

I’m surprised he would soup to that level.

The soup at the Froglandia Bath Mat Factory Cafeteria is so fresh, you get it before they put it in the can!

Yes! Now please hand me my saltines!

You should put some milk on your chin and let the cat lick that off for you.

I make doctored ramen. Broth, frozen veggies, some sort of already cooked meat. Then crumbled blue cheese on top. 5 minutes in the microwave.

Sufferin’ succotash! That ain’t soup any more than that purple and green scribble is a goatee. Tomatoe tomato, scribble or a dribble.

Hey you all, is it soup yet,?

Lacking muchos herb, you later. Herb get in here and spoil the pot. To stir and then replace lid tightly. To wear a bin or not. Shine the ladle witch feeds you, hence the soup spoon. Say grace, and remember, soup is food.

McBeth and is she The McBeth yet?

Anticipation is killing The Italian Sausage Soup.

It’s a soupçon of ear hair

Well, no, I don’t; not actually. A can of tomato sauce plus a can of mixed vegetables is just a two-can (not to be confused with toucan) potpourri of poor imitation soupiness. So, take your accusatory fingers and point them somewhere else!
