Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 12, 2012

Looks like she has issues here!

The monkey looks like a real cut up!

Doesn’t anyone oppose the sight of a monkey holding objects like that?

George? Is that you, George? —It’s a newspaper, smug relic of a bygone era. Kill it!

Scary!!! It’s an ancient information delivery device.

EXTRA, EXTRA, read all about it.

I’ve heard “More dangerous than giving a monkey a razor, or a gun,” but two knives, now you’re talking dangerous.Put one in his prehensile tail and he will be the trifecta of death.

I used to work with that guy, Stabby McFelon.

You mean they print information on paper and deliver it to your door!?! This might catch on!!

Monkey brought knives to fun fight!!!

Wait till they see a land line phone, or a paper book.

You shouldn’t be afraid of a dead medium, young lady.

Given current trends, Bradbury was wrong—it won’t be a pleasure to burn; it will be wholly unnecessary.

Yes, I recognize the irony of such a comment on a comics website.

Incurious George. Named after a W.

i wonder if he is related to the trunk monkey…

Awesome.

Apropos of nothing in particular, I’ve just spent over an hour going through the last 2-4 weeks of Frog Blog (I was waaaay behind on my GoComics). Besides the oddities and grotesque and unusual bits of information, I most enjoy the stunning art displayed, usually by people I’ve never heard of, but have to investigate.

Processed tree pulp.

That marble machine is like something straight out of the movie Hugo.

I was at a Goodwill in Tampa yesterday, and while I was rummaging through the video bin I came across a movie on Super8 tape. That was a bit of a mindshaker.

Unfit to read.

So our esteemed >T< has become a primary source for images/facts. This is where I go when I’m stumped.

They read the news today, oh boy!

The hero monkey, here to protect against arcane modes of information.

Love the “little house” photo. I discovered the site that came from a couple of years ago and have to say the the photographer shots of his fifties cars and little buildings are fantastic.

RE: Edward Hopper

Is this somekind of special code between you and your husban… er, nighthawks?

Looks like the trunk monkey has entered the living room. Poor newspaper will never know what hit it.

The security guards at Oak Ridge are supposed to have had some stock answers to give when asked what went on in the new town: “They’re making wheels for miscarriages . . . keys for fetlocks . . . liners for air pockets . . . front ends of horses, to be shipped to Washington for final assembly.”

It looks like no one else could figure out a ninja monkey joke for this one either.

What is it? IT’S YESTERDAY’S!!!

Am beginning to wonder if it makes any difference…

Oh, man! really love “hug” on the blog; wonder what the back story is on it…gotta be raised from a cub for a start, otherwise, he should be afraid for his life!

from your aforementioned artofmanliness site comes more about those various pitches:
