Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 08, 2018

Okay, since everyone knows that Rotifer is Teresa… this must be one of those introspective anecdotes that only Teresa understands.

I’m been contributing to the Cure for the Rainbow Foundation for years. What a letdown to hear that rainbows are still inoperable.

Every comment I write doubles up. I swear I’m only hitting the comment button ONCE. Is this a sign of something?

It is still happening! Try it, y’all. Hit the blue COMMENT button and you’ll get two comments for the unpaid price of one.

No fractal hippos were harmed during this procedure, though some mind gnomes were squashed

You know, She really went for the low hanging fruit today. She knows She can say anything She wants as long as She talks about us. She knows as long as people (even cartoonists) make mention of us, we’re fine. 

No. Wait. I take that back. ESPECIALLY cartoonists. 

P.S. ♥Yᴇs, Wᴇ Fᴇᴇʟ ᴛʜᴇ Lᴏᴠᴇ♥ 

P.P.S. She’s just jealous that Little Rock has country songs named after it and her hometown (Burrittville) does not.

Is that stag beetle urine? Or one of the urine products with commercial value?

I’m a bit concerned about the inoperable rainbows.

I’d like to try a new, experimental procedure.

It was developed primarily for treating venom from unicorn horn goring.

But I think it could be applicable to the rainbows as well.

You will have to sign this release and become a test volunteer, though.

No insurance company or health care provider would ever approve the procedure at this stage of its development. It has been approved for human trials, though!

Those dirty stag beetles, eating up rainbows.

Using urine as a developer really brings out the chiaroscuro contrasts.

Circa 1954.

I believe those scribbles are a secret message to Rotifer.

Too bad I lost my decoder ring.

I think if you reset the circuit breaker, the rainbow will be operable.

Urine-soaked? Does that mean it’s fresh? How long does it take for urine to dry on stag beetle photos? How sly of Rotifer to invest in such valuable art. Please put a 5 in one of your upcoming cartoons so I’ll know that I matter as a fan, too. What little thing would others like for Teresa to add to her cartoons for the same reason?

Is that Gandhi?

Yes it is Gandhi, the Mahatma. Now ruling Indian as a vetala—-a vampire with zombie Peace Keepers aka soldiers at his beck and call to gently, peacefully keep things quiet and serene.

The use of Odor-Eaters® for it’s sole purpose of odor neutralization could not stand a chance..

That isolated scribble on the middle right looks like a signature.

I’ve tried to analyze it but it says nothing.

i was never very fond of the babble of “free association” transformed into Free Verse, but there is a tent-pole tie to some variant of “reality” here.

I mean, I can actually picture Real Life “urine -soaked photographs” in the corridors of certain Little Rock law offices; not sure about “stag beetles” though, unless that’s a euphemism.

Can you say “euphemism,” my Froglandia friends?

@Rotifer. I vaguely remember the Joe-Allen Doty you speak of. What was his claim to fame with Teresa? I remember that she had posts about him on her flog blog, or maybe it was someone else’s blog. Was Joe-Allen Doty a little person? I remember the photo of a little person without pants somewhere, sometime, as it related to Mr. Doty.
