Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 19, 2021

Mmmmm good morning…

Pork spine? Pah. I’ll just be over here, eating pig cheeks!

I’ve never seen a llama become alarmed. Geese are easily alarmed, but llamas are pretty chill. Better check that out.

Llama, llama Ding Dong!

Pork spines can be braised, sautéed, baked, grilled, stewed, fried, BBQed, steamed, boiled, serve hot and well done with garnish….

… I like my country style ribs listening to country style music….

In the olden days (i.e., before digital cartooning (cartooneologists call this period the pre-Teresian Era)) a comic like this would have been a practical impossibility.

There’s a reason they call it ‘High on the Hog.’

ARR and AVAST, me HEARTIES … it’s National Talk Like A Pirate Day … so party hearty with lots of RUM & ribs before YE have to WALK THE PLANK …!

Fire up the grill. This little piggy went to market.

Would it kill you to put a shirt on at dinner?

Snout and spine are just divine/ But I call dibs on loin and ribs!

Come one, come all! It’s shirtless Tuesday down at the I’m Ok-Y’er Ok Corral Buffet and Karaoke Bar.

EPSTTSOALAS. Great acronym.

“Sound of ALAS”. Will it replace “Sound of Music” in the hearts and ears of Froglandians?

I hate it when people trigger their llama alarms and can’t find their key.

I never eat…pork spine! (Thinking of the classic 1931 Dracula, which was shown last night on Svengoolie: “I never drink…wine!”)

Nor do I have, I blush to say, an Advanced Llama Alarm System—just the old, plain Llama Alarm System. I hope I am still safe from rampaging herds of llamas here in Chicagoland….

Sorry. I can’t hear the alarm over my ear ring.

Oh HELL NO! Eating neurological tissue, including spines, is how you get those prions in your system. I ain’t finna die of Mad Pig Disease.

I’m not a big fan of “the other white meat”. Talk about an amazing motto. Anyway, I can’t say I’ve eaten a lot of pork. First of all, I’m not much of a cook and two, pork spine is last on my pork list.

…A.L.A.S. is Froglandia’s number 2 rated electronica gothic polka band and usually plays at the Blackhorse Tavern on Friday nights and TGIFs on Saturday…

…with hits such as ,Tumbleweed Sucks…

…The Texas Roadhouse Is a Vegan Lifestyle…

…they rockout like a avalanche in Japan..

…[the #1 EGP group, ’ F the Applause ’ is too artsy for the large Naddy Daddy crowds, but enjoys a large audience amongst the spellchecker crowd]…

…I suggest their ’Eating Pork Spinds To The Sound Of’ download to all of you Tic-Tok fans…

…ransomknotts video is especially entertaining…

“This is a test of the Advanced Llama Alarm System. This is only a test.”

Day 2, and the rama-llama ding-dong alarm is provoking laughter….

But, in deference to llamas everywhere, I link to “Ajax Pet Store” https://tinyurl.com/ygoew8g4

You don’t want your family to be trampled to death by llamas do you? Then you better buy a llama alarm.

Nothing to spit at.

… today in Froglandia histoty, famous artist, Jake Toulouse- Jermine draped the bathmat factory in cotton fabric…

The order came from the kitchen , mount up and advance to the beat of the llama’s and pork backs meal. M&M’s all taste the same, while jelly beans differ, especially black ones.

Naah… It should be combined: allarma!

Ahem … today is National Pecan Cookie Day … put that in your log …!

Day 3. The more I think about it, the more I find this alarming! Did you get your pork spines at famous Moo & Oink (which went out of business in 2011, meaning the spines would be well aged by now)?

…is there nothing else on the telly?…

…no, dear, just ‘nother, ’Gilly’…

…no Frog Applause, neither?…

…sorry, me love, no…

..well, I can’t stretch this pork much more past Thursday…

…there’s no mutton left for the chops if you know what I mean…

…I do like Ginger…

…I’m a Mary Ann meself…

…she has such lovely eyes…

…what ‘bout, Skipper?…

…well, he’s no Gilligan’s is he?…

…and he does make Gilly sleep on top…

…hush, you, they’re on an island with two handsome girls…

…they never show that go-in’ on do they?…

…the kids, darling: it was the sixties…

…do you have more catsup for me chips?…

…it’s beside you, dear…

Ok … time to run up the comments to the century mark … 18 to go … as of … NOW!

Eating pork spine, with a spork no doubt, must give you cockeyed ears and nipples well below your armpits. Don’t tell Pablo!

Day 4. At the Froglandia End of Summer Festival, one of the most popular food concessions is pork on a spork. One expects deboned.…

What the hill…

Lammas eat grass.. and hay.,

Wow frequently spit the cud.

Pork and Beans maybe?

I’m kickin’ it to 7

C’mon gang …! puff, puff, puff …

I will fast till the mark is made…

Excuse me Ganda.

Twice Excuse Me

Gandi

Two Taco’s Please.

I hope everything is okay with Teresa. Perhaps she ate some bad pork spine.

…dancing with the stars…
