Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 20, 2020

I don’t see the copyright infringement in #4. Poor guy’s got nothing to copyright, much less infringe upon.

This is your Daily Dunning; Those of you not on Sister Teresa’s list are warned of a substantial penalty of guaranteed withdrawal symptoms should you miss the impending GC Dead Line. If you have not already done so, proceed to the Link below for instructions for evading future comix woe.

I feel quite strongly that the character in #5 is being unfairly maligned. Clearly he has brought a large serving spatula to distribute the promised cake, intending to only take his share when all others have been satisfied.

Poor wight. The cake was always, is now, and shall everafter be a lie.

What I see in number 4 is his head ready to explode because the stoopids at a certain site are getting rid of you and a lot of others for no reason at all.

Keep that dung beetle away from my piece of cake…..if it ever gets here…..maybe I’ll take a another spin and when I return it will be here…..

I feel that panel three shows, not disrespect for human life, but rather, an understanding of the human condition.

By the time I had taken five steps from the ditch, I had realized two things. Well, there were many things, but two of paramount importance. These were: first, that I had no idea of my precise location, or even general location at the moment, and second, that my general condition was somewhat similar to excrement, and locating a suitable place to recover would be essential in any effort to carry on. Several other considerations also weighed heavily. Three, the weight of some unknown impending doom was all but palpable. Four, my entire head seemed engulfed in the choking cloud of a dump fire. And five, whatever enticed me to this locale was not in evidence, nor was anything else, unless privation had somehow attracted me.

At the top of the ramp (in number 3) stands Shena.

As for the Love Is… flamehead, Sister is not infringing but merely parodying (fair use, and all that). Burn, baby, burn!

And (number 5) I want my piece of cake, to have and to eat it, too. Call me “Glutton” if you will. I can’t help it if I like cake!

I share in the Froglandian values….

She’s just jealous (and bitter) because Love Is … has it’s own iTunes’ app* and Frog Applause™ doesn’t.

* And Wikipedia page, “Official” website, comics fan website (https://www.loveisfan.com/), etc., etc.

P.S. Although FA may be bereft of bravado (if not avocado dip), it does have at least 3 things Love Is … does not; a Creator who (1) owns a bath mat factory, (2) knows how to use incendiarism and copyright infringement in the same panel, and (3) is not dead.

Regarding the panel appropriately numbered 2 :

A dung beetle walks into a bar …

Bartender says: “Pull up a stool” …!

The Love Is kid is all aflame for the gluttonous, spatula-weilding caveman. He can’t help himself.

… 2nd verse same as the 1srt…

…Govid lords pay heed: …

…man bites dog is a aphorism in the newspaper business…

…Frog Applause is man bites dog in comic form!…

…of course, if Govid is not interested in comics, but in bet your bottom dollar bill he’s a big boy…

…why are you in the dying comics business at all…

…except to leverage buyout into your golden parachute…

… like some Mitt Romney Voldemort…

…love over gold and mind over matter…

…if you don’t mind it doesn’t matter…

Man, I’m going to miss FA when it’s gone.

And that’s why I love it.
