Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 17, 2017

But they haven’t invented radar ovens yet.

Quite the inducement. I am all a-twitter.

I’m not trying to give Teresa any ideas about leaving GoComics for greener pastures, but a simple drawing (Teresa’s art is more intriguing) and a poem (Again, Teresa’s poems are off-the-wall wonderful) can fetch a lot more than the loose change in the sofa cushions Teresa gets here:)

Who knew that TVs needed dinners back then? Maybe that’s why my parents could only find such lousy shows in the evenings. The poor tube was as famished as the scripts.

But I wouldn’t need the TV dinners if I can wheel this into my dining room. My husband Buzz says all we’d need is a long enough lead to the aerial.

’Tis all about the wee TV.

It’s alright to watch TV only to make sure that the TV does not become stolen..

Oh. Sorry. I thought this was the typewriter store. They said it was just across the street from the Radio Shack.

Sales have been a bit Soupy. Inconsistent that is. Tell ya’ what… I’ll throw in a couple of sporks with those TV dinners.

Great picture off late 50

We got our first TV when I was 15; a 21" Packard-Bell (B&W, of course). My folks just rented it because my dad wanted to watch the World Series. The joke was on him, though – my mother got used to soap operas during the day and wouldn’t let him take it back. He ended up buying it from the rental company and it lasted them for years.

Yes, Virginia, there was a time when TVs were made in the United States.

So he says, “You’re the guy?”, and I says, “Yeah. I’m the guy.” So he says, “I don’t believe it.”, and I says, “Look. Why would I claim to be the guy who came up with electric cheese if I wasn’t that guy? What’s in it for me?”

That extra $4.00 worth of TV dinners really would tip the deal in Sales Guy’s favor! And why not? Any red-blooded middle-class American family would have to get themselves a color TV in the early-to-mid ’60s!

This is True History, sonny! I was there in those days! Wow! Two free TV dinners!

Now that I think of it, those dresses really look like Kennedy Era.

I watched the first moon landing in July of 1969 on my family’s RCA color TV.I took pictures of the screen using a camera that came with my “Secret Sam” spy toy so I would have something to remember the mission by.
