Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 16, 2009

My cat only pretends to like me when she’s hungry. Fortunately, she’s hungry almost constantly.

It’s underwear man!

Cats rarely pretend to like, period. Is Underwear Man wearing a string bikini?!

I believe it’s a thong.

Re the blog–Can’t I use the Middle Path?

Love the wallpaper!

I wonder what the pot plant is thinking.

thong u very much?

are you high plight… that ain’t a pot plant…

PS Teresa— the prop letter from Leave It to Beaver was excellent work by you. Cornelia Rayburn ( the purported signator ) was of course the name of Beaver’s school principal on the show.

AND are you looking forward to the Tin Tin flick?

Looks like a breechcloth to me. Maybe he’s got some Choctaw blood? Definitely a Choctaw mustache!

How about if I just do self-abuse without smoking?

I see the guy has that bare-midriff muffin-top thing going.

Margueritem, Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. To be honest I caught the Silence of the Lambs references. That’s what bothered me. I really enjoyed the Thomas Harris books, right up until “Hannibal”. That book crossed the line. The way Lecter not only consumed his victims physically but emotionally as well. A true cannibal, on so many levels. I really enjoy reading, and have read a WIDE variety of work, but Hannibal was one I did not enjoy. It was written too well, it made me empathize with Lecter, something I did not enjoy. I actually took the book back to Walden and got my money back.

So please, don’t fear. I don’t dislike our dear Teresa. I enjoy her work and consider her a clever, talented and gifted person, whose work I enjoy and look forward to. Just because I did not enjoy Sundays comic won’t change my opinion and appreciation for her work. Consider my initial response as an involuntary and allregic reaction to an unpleasant stimulus.

And now I’ve got Lecter on the brain again, and that’s just WRONG. Yuck.

“Muffin-top” was also a Hannibal Lecter reference.

Et tu Bill H?
