Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 04, 2012

Hm, good question. I’ve read that they only work if listened to for hours and hours. Sort of a cumulative thing.

That Metalogen Monster was a new one for me. Wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monster_and_the_Ape

YouTube clips are also out there.

For me it is always popcorn.

Oh NO, ah crѧp. I forgot to comment at Frog Applause!I found this nailed to my email inbox.

I had an appropriately lame comment to make but somebody stuck a picture of Vlad in my face and drove it right out of my head!

Actually today’s strip falls in my favorite Frog Applause category: Made Me Laugh. Other categories include Made Me Think, Made Me Go “Huh?”, and Made Me Go “Eeeewwwww.”

In answer to your question, no pony for you, sonny-boy!

right after I looked into the boy’s eyes, I got another cup of coffee, thanks Kid

For some reason I have a sudden urge to visit the local stables with checkbook in hand.

Super subliminal message.I had to look really close to make sure that 1870 guy wasn’t holding an ice cream sandwich.

Subliminal adds absolutely do not work. I bought you the pony because you look like a kid who could care for and enjoy having a pony.

BACARDI RUM HAS A CLASSIC SUBLIMINAL PICTURE OF THE BAT ON THE LABEL. DRINK UP.

Buy you a pony? But you had burgers for dinner yesterday.

I have to wonder how Teresa feels about the Susan G Komen VS Planned Parenthood fight.

I have a sudden thirst for beer.------No? Come on! A keg! You know … ? here ’bouts a keg is called a “pony”

Just visited your blog. I’m always amazed that you manage to find such quirky, interesting images. Truly amazing!!! I love ’em.-William H. Johnson is one of my favorite primitive painters.

Most subliminal messages are meaningless. There’s a YouTube video that shows how prevalent ‘666’ is in advertising. However, they’re mostly just curlicues, which is a very common design element.

@Dry (in response to yesterday’s question)

Pooch Cafe at Babelgum*

* Just what the hell kind of name is Babelgum, anyway?

It worked for me. I got a pony as a kid. Well actually it was a horse, which is even better.

..subliminal advertising will [not] get you your pony…

I really liked Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life, but really enjoyed his work with John Cassavedes, especially in Husbands teamed with Cassavedes and Peter Falk.

…RE:The Blog…I liked the 3rd hearse best…

giddiyap!

Hahaha, I used to have one of those pistol shaped hairdryers.

neigh.

Sometimes they just grab your attention, kid!

The recipe for microwave potato chips sounds great!

chicken dinner IS good candy per the mighty wikipedia

Chicken Dinner BarThe Chicken Dinner Bar had been a product of the Sperry Candy Company, which was acquired by Pearson’s in 1962. The bar, introduced during The Great Depression, was so called in reference to President Herbert Hoover’s promise of “a chicken in every pot”.9 The bar did not contain chicken or other poultry products, but was, rather, a chocolate-covered nut roll. Pearson’s discontinued the bar’s production after the acquisition.8 Early TV commercials sang “Chick – Chick – Chick – Chick – Chicken Dinner” similar to, and in the cadence of a rooster crowing.

No more talk of pony boys here, except for those that love a fetish or two.

Hmmm… for some strange reason, I want to but Teresa a pony…

I have a sudden desire for horsemeat for dinner.
