Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 26, 2012

What kind of sick monster would look at perfectly innocent wall flora and imagine it was something dirty?

Why, just yesterday, somebody blocked me on Facebook after I send her pics of my wall flora!

Fungus pornography? When you look at the wide range of fungal reproductive techniques—

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus

—it’s obvious why some molds need to make their own penicillin. Even the Greeks didn’t have words for some of those things! (And now that I know fungi can reproduce by spraying you with spores, I have to reconsider that Star Trek episode where Spock gets a faceful from an alien plant.)

As I said yesterday, Gweedo has been banned.Does anyone have his ID#?We all got together and got Dogsniff unbanned, time to do it again. Since yesterday, several have written to The PowersThatBe to unimpeach him.

Theresa talks about today’s strip.Mick & Ick: Misunderstood

Sorry. No H.

People will believe what they want to, the presence of irrefutable facts notwithstanding. Still, it’s good that Teresa posted a pre-emptive explanation on wall fungi. It makes those with a stick up their south-40 look foolish.

Ha ha, ambiguity is great and the real fun starts when interpretation happens. I generally avoid the perils of peeking into anothers mindscape, but sometimes the idiosyncratic dance is amusing.

And yet those fungal protrusions are evidence of reproduction.

Whoa. That wallpaper shot made me think of creating levels for DN3D with the build editor. They don’t call me the Old Wolf for nothing.

Ok, so 1936 on the blog. Yes that is a very tall man, and a very tall bicycle. My best estimate is that the seat is at least five feet tall, and probably closer to six, which puts his waist at a minimum of six feet and probably more. From the torso up, he looks rather normally proportioned. Sooooo, my point here is- Damn those are some long A$$ legs!!

How’d that happen without hands ?

To be honest, my imagination has not been working overtime on Mick and Ick. I let others do the double entendré heavy lifting.

Love your art posts on the blog today, Teresa!

And thanks for giving us a peek behind the scenes of Frog Applause!

Endorsing the cutline, I give this one the cold shoulder. Brrr!

Re the blog;Was that a young Sarah Palin in the tent?!? . . . . ☻

To humor the lecherous amongst us, you could have at least named them Mick amd Dick.

I will now call them the Fungus Fellows, so there is no mistake.

Besides, Dogsniff, it didn’t get smaller when It got cold.

I’m trying to imagine Mick & Ick as talking fungi and something non-phallic but I’m waiting for the ’shrooms to kick in first.

They look serpentine to me.

Yakov is always blocked. I Vlad good friend too. Still they block Yakov. I try again today. Maybe good day for Yakov.

to quote isaac hayes, ’i’m just talkin bout shaft’.

are they on a wall? i thought it was a coronal ridge.

they must be from greece, the tag on the hat says ‘trojan’.

Orson Wells can heard in his role as Lamont Cranston on the radio program The Shadow.

Okay, so remind me again. What’s the difference between botany and pornography?

I’ll bet you anything the banana earring on the blog is a Shrinky Dink! What a great idea!

¡Santo! ¡Santo! ¡Santo!

Reminds me of growing up with my brother!
