    Yeah, I hate it when that happens.

    Lime is slaked by adding water to quicklime. The calcium oxide reacts with the water and is transformed to calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2),

    The handling and storage of quicklime requires great care since it is very reactive. If it comes into contact with water (such as bath water!), it reacts violently, giving off heat and converting into slaked lime.

    Slaked lime would, therefore, do a much better job of dissolving a corpse.

    @Gweedo, Don’t you mean “Hud” with Paul Newman?

    Yes Teresa, that is, at best, an outdoor hobby.

    Bill Cosby does a very funny bit on that scene titled, “Hoof and Mouth”.

    Memo to Granny Teresa:

    Well, Granny, then stop disposing of your murder victims in that manner. Try, instead, incinerating them in the old cellar furnace!

    You’re welcome.

    @ Gweego I think it’s Hud. That’s the movie with the infected cattle from Mexico. Giant with James Dean is more of fight for oil versus cattle.

    That’s why we have two bathrooms. The corpses never get in our way.

    Are those tiny divers checking out my morning tea for corpses and slaked lime? Get back to me on that, would you please?

    My favorite dessert is key lime pie. Made either with real key limes or Nellie and Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice. I have never tried making it with slaked limes in a bathtub, however. I will try as soon as I can get the octopus out of the bathtub.

    Ah, the old Granny Lady, it’s been much too long since we’ve seen you. I concer with the furnace idea for ridding one’s self of the odd corpse or two.

    Now we need Grace the Face, and the Long Legged Girl.

    Teresa, I’ve been quietly watching your work for some time, but this panel prompts me to actually comment. I think you are disturbed, and your comic strip has no socially redeeming value. Thank you, keep up the good work! (Have we met? We should.)

    For those that do not like Frog Applause, might I say stick with it awhile, eventually you can’t live without it. Very reminiscent of alcohol, on initial taste it may seem a bit harsh and off-putting, after a few more tastes, it becomes kind of a social relaxer. Over time you just feel that you can’t do without it. I myself visit it as often as I can as I crawl around through the gutters and alleyways of America.

    What are socially redeeming values? Is there a store where you can turn them in for merchandise, like with old Green Stamps and Blue Stamps? What effect do these values have? Does God’s Hand appear with a ladle of holy water and anoint the readers of strips with value, showing that he loves them the most? Because on the old Buffy series, Mayor Finch loved to read Family Circus, and that didn’t keep him from turning into a giant snake that tried to eat Sunnydale. Or maybe that’s what caused him to change. Frog Applause hasn’t turned anyone into a giant snake, so I’m guessing Teresa’s values are a lot healthier for society.

    At first I did not see the staples in volume. Clever way to make the most of the situation.

    I sat here transfixed as I watched that young lady pulling up and down her sexy panties and I asked myself why? I mean I can see a woman pulling down her panties on oodles of sites. Maybe it was because it was like a taunt taken back. Maybe I like women who tease, maybe it was the shape of her buttocks. Maybe…I just have too much time. I was going to say two much time on my hands, but I withdrew that as I knew it would be misunderstood and we can’t have that here at Frog Applause.
