Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 05, 2012

A clean, dry merkin is one of life’s great pleasures.

I’d buy my butter cookies at the supermarket before I’d negotiate the matter with anybody.

Would you settle for some GSA Thin Mints and access to a microwave oven.

There is both a certain amount of charm and a great deal of utility in a clean but moist merkin. Of course it helps if your merkin doubles as a muff.

Don’t call me Fishface! Butter cookies are one of the great delights of life. Merkins, on the other hand, are not: be true to yourself, whether hirsute or bald.

Mermaid merkins smell like fish.

Really enjoyed todays blog !!!!

Hang on. Was that butter merkins and clean, dry cookies?

Wasn’t there a movie called “The Ugly Merkin”?

I knew JF Merkin, and you’re no JF Merkin!

She’s just wearing a smile and a merkin.

Sigh…humans are so complex

Why would a fish need to dry anything in the sun??

I’ll raise you one gherkin against your merkin.

LBJ frequently addressed his ‘fella Merkins.’ I’m guessing that there must be other famous Merkins as well…

You’re merkin it too hard. Here’s merkin at you, kid.

I’ve read Irena’s story previously. I’m so happy that her work was honored before she died, and that her story continues to be told.

A car antenna is a great place to dry a merkin.

Didn’t merbarbie have a merken?

Marvelous blog posts today, Teresa. Thanks for providing us the opportunity to view and contemplate all that wonderful art.

Is the typical gocomics reader the guy wearing the merkin in the wrong place or the woman visible through the window behind him?

Re: Blog-TattooI remember the strip. It’s one of those strings that keep a kid’s mittens attached to the coat so they don’t lose them. Lucy wanted to cross the street, Charlie Brown offered to hold her hand while they crossed to make sure she made it safe, but Lucy didn’t want to actually hold a boy’s hand, so…..

Bet all ’Merkins with a sense of humour find this funny.
