Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 10, 2012

Oh, I’d love a silk GoComics ascot…And a cold day in Hello Kitty.

My good friend Nini is under the impression that all Frog Blog readers are burnouts who’ve done lots of drugs:

Actually, I think she may hold that opinion of GoComics readers in general.

I want dat Hello Kitty rubbed out, got that? And if I ever see your wearing any silk ascot again, you’re getting a matching pair of cement boots, see? My guys will be watching you. Da Capo.

Your ascot is ready for the shredder, boy.

It would add a whole new dimension of interest if the comics would intersect with ‘real life’ like that…not to the comics, to real life!

On the blog: That person who complained about the blog being neo-Dada should have waited for the underwear with chickens. Who could resist neo-Dada like that…or whatever name you want to give it?

Strange and beautiful is the story of the cowboy.

“Finnish Continuation War” was the follow-up to the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. In August 1939, the Soviet Union attacked Finland with the goal of grabbing as much territory as possible (I think the official excuse was they needed a defensive zone to protect Leningrad and Murmansk). Stalin had just purged the Red Army, and when they attacked Finland they got their butts kicked at first. The Finns made good use of ski troops in hit-and-run attacks on the Soviets; one of their improvised weapons, used against tanks, was glass bottles filled with gasoline and stuffed with rags. These fire-bombs were mockingly named after the Soviet Foreign Minister: Molotov cocktails.

The Red Army kept grinding away at the Finns with the standard Russian tactic: throw enough bodies on the enemy and eventually you’ll crush them. The Finns had to sue for peace in mid-1940, ceding a considerable amount of territory to the Soviets. The Finns obviously did not appreciate this. A few days after the German invasion of Russia in June 1941, the Finns became co-belligerents with the Axis. The Finns called this the “Continuation War.”

Fighting resumed with the aid of some German-supplied equipment, although the Finns did not greatly aid the German war effort. They made some inroads against the Soviets, but by mid-1944 the tide turned and the Red Army was pushing them back. The Finns again sued for peace in the autumn of 1944; there was an armistice, with a peace treaty signed in 1947.

The Continuation War posed diplomatic problems for the US. On the one hand, the Finns had allied themselves with the Axis. On the other hand, they were responding to the earlier Soviet aggression. In addition there was favorable sentiment toward Finland because it had kept making payments on its WW I debts to the US (we loaned them money after they won independence from Russia in 1918). We never declared war on the Finns, and maintained diplomatic relations with them through most of the war, to the chagrin of the Soviets.

Re: LIVING LARGE IN NEW YORK (1908)Great picture of Vlad’s grandfather !

Lovemaking in a hayloft or on a bearskin rug are best left to ome’s fantasies. Having done both, neither enhances the endeavor.

Hey at least he didn’t diss your silk Go Comics boxer shorts. Oooooooh silky.

When fat dudes bye and byeHate your silk ascot tieThat’s a moiré

I like GoComics, Hello Kitty, and drugs. I’m 59 years old. Is this normal?

Just looked at Les Moustaches again and thought, “Dang, what the heck is Leonardo DiCaprio doing in there? Oh, it’s Trotsky.”

Wearing an endorsement of GoComics on your ascot certainly is pretty lame. I’d rather have an ascot bearing Teresa’s Chicken &tm; .

The guy living large in New York could use one of those really large horses. -Just how tall is that guy?

I think it would be funny if y’all followed the link I posted, registered on that message board, and politely took issue with Nini’s assertions. She would HATE that!

I should have been so lucky.

Bluskies, you seem to have put the URL into the search field by accident. Here’s a direct link. Maybe you’ll have better luck with that.
