    No, no, never! Hold me upsidedown, shake me, threaten to make me read Dick Tracy the rest of my life, I’ll never give up my subscription to Frog Applause!

    OK, so I already caved on the upgrading to ‘Pro’ part….

    Wait! Adam@Home is mysteriously missing from his own strip today. Maybe that’s Adam in the blue shirt! http://www.gocomics.com/adamathome/2008/09/29/

    Well, we know that’s not Adam hanging upside down. Adam’s chest is a lot hairier. (And, yes, I’m extremely embarrassed to know that about Adam, but after being subjected to his numerous baby-poolside loungings, I know I’m not the only one with this VALUABLE information).

    Teresa, we need a visit from Grace the Face, please.

    marguerite: Okay, I’ll see if Grace is around. When I first started this strip, Grace the Face visited 2x/week. Now she’s lucky if she gets one day of “facetime” per month. Last I heard, Grace got fed up and cancelled her subscription to “Frog Applause”.

    LOL! Tell her to unbunch those undies, and come for a visit.

    On occasion I’ve considered canceling Frog Applause, but then Teresa will make fun of some other comic strip and that keeps me going for a few more weeks or months. But I’m really waiting to see more on the heart-rending subject of child abuse. As I recall, two very poignant strips is all we’ve had, and those a long time ago now. Up to it, Teresa?

    pschearer: Please write to me privately at shoecabink at yahoo dot com. There are a couple of things I’d like to share with you. Other readers interested in this topic, feel free to contact me as well.

    The installments that pschearer referred to ran on 03-11-07, 04-29-07, 10-07-07 and 04-26-08.

    Non-Pro users can view them by entering the tag: series in progress. Remember to click the green bar above the strips for the next strip. The strips will appear newest first, so you’ll need to click back to see the first strip in the series.

    So does Frog Applause only appear on Gocomics, or is there a different version for every newspaper (or website) that it appears in? (Or did Teresa simply advertise Gocomics in several newspapers, also a possibility.)

    A quote (too good to waste on Dick Tracy) by GoComics reader Grokenstein:

    “I don’t care if anyone respects my opinion, or if anyone likes my tone. I’m here to vent and get some giggles, and I always get what I come for. The little “pro” icon doesn’t make anyone’s opinion more or less valid than anyone else’s, but of course you’re free to touch yourself while fantasizing that it does.”

    Sloop-

    Answer me this: What professional comic strip creator would seriously take advice or criticism from someone who isn’t even willing to invest $0.08 a day to pay them for their work?

    That’s $0.08 a day for PRO to support ALL professional creator’s whose work appears here. No PAY, No OPINION! You and Grokenstein are NUTS! It’s like criticizing your elected officials but refusing to vote, somehow believing that you have some RIGHT to criticize them and be taken seriously.

    This is the dilemma of the textbook schizophrenic.

    I'm pro, and I agree with Grokenstein (as quoted here by sloop).
