Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 20, 2023

Try durian instead, it’ll wake you right up.

She sure is specific about the location of those delicious moldy hangnails

…they really used to talk dirty to the boys at Los Alamos…

…blind date?…

…sounds shady to me…

…shades- blinds?!?…

…ugh! …

…never mind…

…the illustration is a rerun…

…but I don’t know if the gag is…

…sure, they all felt guilty making the bomb…

…and I don’t mean, Indiana Jones 5…

…but it didn’t stop them from using it…

…don’t worry Indy…

…the refrigerator will save you…

…if you can only open it from the inside…

…see?!? …how was he supposed to get out!?!…

…very unrealistic…

…I have a bad feeling about this…

…where was the old timers baseball game played?!?…

…@ W.C. Fields…

And the hat quietly listens.

Rule of hangnails on the thumb: Blind dates you attend will be the ones you should not. Blind dates you do not attend will be the ones you should. Don’t let it gnaw at you. That’s just how it is. Mistakes were made. Things happened.

Public speaking.

Blind eyed person

And blind eyed dog enlisted

A cane you have my feelings too

Watch out waitress he has an eye for you

Peg leg hook and patch I love you

Screw me in and watch me groan as hell freezes over

Moldy Hangnails would make a great band name.

Tomorrow night? No, I can’t. I’m dusting the radiator and then I have to tighten the spring on the phonograph.

those little booths were SO COOL

You can grab your jack fruit right off the jack tree.

( That’s as close as I’m going to get today, to offending the delicate sensibilities of GoatKomix’s Overlords & Arbitors of Good Taste )

Aaaaackk! Blind dates!!!

I’ve got a set of nippers you can borrow!

One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy (apologies to Lily).

No more blind dates … too many cane bruises …!

Oh, the humanity…!

Get a dose of her in jackfruit and kilts

Learn something new every day! I was not aware of the jackfruit/latex connection. Thank you, Teresa!

Two cronies prattling on about whatever! Even their creative similes are suspect. Latex? Let us not cast aspersions on the venerable jackfruit, a staple especially in SE Asian/Pacific regions….
