Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 22, 2017

They met at the shrimp bar and they’re just good friends.

Depending on the different ways to show this fine piece, can show a person’s preferences. For example this way says he enjoys anchovies on a pizza!

Those wacky steam-brats and their Mauve-Decade piercings!

Channel surfing through bike trails, fun has reach it’s peak..

If you want to get to bananaland, you have to ride the three-legged stallion.

Scabland is the Earth’s Outer Crust.

What ever happened to the mountains and the woods and the horse and sleigh?

These kids today just don’t know what’s good.

Once in Bubbaland, yo mamma will.

Up your nose with a garden hose.

Wait a minute… I just realized that it was “over the river”. I was so mind-washed by the graphic that I could only remember it as “over the mountain”. Insidious!

I think Caleb wouldn’t have minded the four-hour drive nearly as much if this regrettable photo with the miniature flamingo hadn’t resulted.

Interesting Historical Side Note: My little girl looked up from her high chair one night when I came home from work and said, “There’s Bubba” (if you’re one of the 6,999,999,999 people in the world who doesn’t call me Bubba, join the club (its very nonexclusive)).

P.S. Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi used to play a character called Jo-Jo the Boot-Faced Boy (but only because Bubba the Flamingo-Bearded Dude just doesn’t have the same comedic ring to it).

Nice stache, dude.

But, you should loose the pink booger.

I just like the Flamingstrich (Ostmingo?).

The eclipse was worth driving to Bubbaland and back to Froglandia in a day.

In a bar Johnny drinks

Johnny drinks Johnnie Walker

Till he runs up a bill he can’t pay

He’s drinking to the memory

Of a prince in a pauper’s grave

.

Lyrics to ‘Prince In A Paupers Grave’ by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine.

The main attraction at Bubba Land turned out to be the potato gun. It don’t shoot potatoes, though. What happens is one of the Bubbas come up and says, “Hold my beer while I show you how this works.” He walks over to the potato gun and fills it with Bug Spray, then lights it up…

It only costs $3, and you get to keep the beer, which isn’t open yet and ice cold.

All in all, pretty sweet. The pyrotechnics must be harmless and a they got a trap door for the Bubba, ‘cause he comes back for the next guy in line. But you can’t see the potato gun while you’re standing in line. You just see the guy ahead of you get handed a beer, then you hear a boom and that’s it.

The Whiskey River ride is fun, too. But that’s one o’ them water rides, where you ride a rubber inner tube down a river while Bubbas in scuba gear hand you an airline whiskey bottle whenever you signal for one. I’m not sure how they work that, maybe radios, because the underwater Bubbas sure can’t see you signing for another whiskey.

Maybe it’s aliens, or just the magic of Bubba Land.

Sure worth the trip. But you gotta stay overnight in their hotel. They won’t let you drive home. I can’t tell you what the hotel is like. I don’t remember.

Ohhh! A pink flamingo labret! Are they for sale in the Frog Applause online store?

Oh. Wait. There is no FA online store. I guess I’ll have to filch my own pink flamingo from some neighbor’s lawn display.

P.S. A four-hour drive in/on what kind of vehicle? Bubba land? —-As in Bubba Gump? No?

Somebody on the GCBLOG asked GoComics a question about Sherpa and nobody replied. More evidence that the little people don’t matter. http://www.gocomics.com/news/whats-happening/4182/jake-likes-onions
