Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 19, 2023

“Hi, it looks like you’re trying to carry my plague-ridden corpse to your bunker. Are you sure you want to do that?”

However, this drawing is from the time they went out to collect wing nuts to fix their aeroplane but inadvertently brought back a glider clip.

Food was low and whiskey dry. A vote and a goat decided to party until the cows came home from an art show. The death toll was to yield avery body and nobody too. Good-bye to all and to all so long.

…but you can’t make me wear a mask…

…well…

…they were safe as long as they ducked & covered under their desks…

…in your head, they are fightingWith their tanks and their bombsAnd their bombs and their guns…

… LADY!! …

… Anita another round of paper clips …

…oww…

…our own, Gale, made the funny papers today…

…how are Spock and Kirk gonna get out of this mess?…

…the plague doesn’t kill people…

…people carrying the plague kill people…

…

…wait uuntil you see what they accidentally did to the water…

They admitted that it was worth it just for finding a cool humongous paper-clip.

Fortunately, there won’t be any issues keeping the archives of dystopia clipped together.

Things went down hill when they misplaced the autoclave.

Attention! Ne touchez pas le trombone!

The plague of mega secretarial work?

They were dressed so well and lost no weight…

They had not INTENTIONALLY brought Clippy back from the dead. It just happened. Nobody could have foreseen it. Nobody would have done so deliberately. When Clippy cheerfully sprang into action in their bunker, it was like a wet fart going off. There was nowhere to run from it. And the settings menu wherein the abomination could be deactivated was so well hidden that nobody had ever discovered it, in spite of years of research and billions of dollars wasted.

The horror!

does Office Max carry these?

Everyday is doomsday.

I’m so glad to see that Gail and Anita, in spite of adversity, have found a way to keep it all together.

I’m also elated to see how Teresa always finds a new and exciting way to showcase her clip art.

Next up — that stapler on the beach, next to Liberty.

As I search in desperation for comment inspiration, I keep coming back to the phrase “the rat-nibbled dead.” It has a nice ring to it.

☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is that now considered a clip-joint?

well that settles that!

What doesn’t hurt them will only make them stronger… oh wait, no it won’t. Not in this case lol.

My money is on Gale … her hand distribution is simply unbeatable …!

( I read left to write [sic] )

Nice allegory today: The trivial retrieved spoils will loom large in their truncated future.

Honey, I shrunk the Doomsday survivors.

You’re just saying that to cheer us up.

No PPE?

Little did they know that their plan to kidnap and hold “beloved” Microsoft mascot, Clippy, for ransom would fail quite spectacularly.

My least favorite part is their shoes. Not very sensible for a doomsday scenario.

It is my opinion, thanks to the wisdom of age and clever ratiocination, that Gale and Anita are descendants of The Teenie Weenies who used to live in the Sunday comics-pages of my youth.

This is the most logical explanation for that normal-sized paperclip in the company of tiny persons! Let us hope that the ladies (and any bunker-mates) survive the apocalyptic plague….

Awww..: Thank you, Teresa, for honouring me so well for mentioning me by name — but I’ve been too involved in three-dimensional stuff to know!!!
