Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 24, 2015

Nothing grinds my gears more than aliens slicing radishes unevenly.

The aliens won’t find me here either.

The occurrence of two-headed animals is NOT very rare, and in the case of reptiles, especially snakes and turtles, the occurrence is even more common.

Rad-ish, a frequent contributor to the lame comic strip “Frog Applause” was found sliced unevenly and left to compost in the archives of Garfield. Alien overlords are suspected in his grisly demise.

This is gonna be on the news tomorrow, He was a nice guy, now he is a sliced guy.

The aliens prefer chopped gizzard.

The aliens will find you. They have taken over all the communications systems. We knew that this would happen when they landed on the White House lawn in 1947 and it was never in the news. They are only waiting for a good excuse to wipe out life as we know it and repopulate the world with two-headed turtles .. with thumbs .. and phones .. on which they text incessantly.

I’m not worried. Pretty sure the aliens wouldn’t bother looking for me.

It’s all related. Aliens stole my V-slicer, and now I have to cut radishes by hand.

Throw a rope rad-ish, I am catching rope forever.

I now a crazy guy who insists that radishes have a legitimate place on a plate of authentic tacos. Clearly, he is wrong.

Rad-ish is not feeling well? We should send some flowers. What?

Answer the damn phone will ya!

And thus the two intrepid covert operatives made contact.

Meh. (I don’t cook much and we’ve got Texas between us and the aliens)

WE can work it out…

…one fingy dingy…

unfortunately, aliens can detect and hone in on grinding gears

What word am I supposed to be learning here today?

Now that both operatives have given the proper recognition codes, can they now openly discuss Frog Applause?

Those are so cute! And, they come in peas!

Grinding gears is the result of poor clutch work. My advice? Double clutch it!!! ……………………………………………….. I have met the aliens and they are us!!!

Not much privacy. No booth. I wonder if these are pay phones. They look more like courtesy phones in a hotel lobby. It’s hard to find courtesy phones these days because most everyone carries a cell phone. I’ve never had a cell phone. Don’t want one either.

Apropos of nothing…

I love this page. The people who post here are smart and funny. Something, though, is bothering me. Maybe “bothering” isn’t the best word choice. My brain doesn’t retrieve words the way it used to. Maybe it’s not a good idea to air out petty complaints. I was hoping someone else would step in so I wouldn’t have to say anything. .If something nagged at any of you, and you thought one or more posters might be upset to hear it, would you speak up or would you keep quiet?

@*Happy, Happy, Happy!!!*Did they ever make those as (the) PEZ dispensers (that bit you back)?

No aliens here.

Aww you guys found my hat! This is an excellent development indeed. I have the shiny tinfoil dress to match. Now look out radishes, my gears are grinding to get out on the town. Strange……I suddenly have a hankering for ice cream.

Happy I can’t believe you got a close up of Thatababy’s imaginary friend. You lucky bunny.

Are the aliens gone yet?
