   Whooda thunk I would live long enuff to see that ?! Will the estate try to sue over unauthorized use of the likeness’s ?? I’m sure Terry got permission just like Steve (Pastis) does for Cathy. ;-)

   Thank goodness for laws that protect satyr!

   If Charles Schulz hadn’t gotten trapped in a 1950s time-warp, he might have drawn this himself. It’s hard to read 40- and 50-year-old Peanuts reruns and rembember that they were once considered edgy.

   BTW, ejcapulet, the word you want is “satire”. Unless that was satire and I didn’t get it.

   Satyrs are womanizing party animals. I don’t think they’re necessarily protected by law but many of them do seem to get elected to public office.

   A parody is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, or author, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation.

   Parody is by no means necessarily satirical, and may sometimes be done with respect and appreciation of the subject involved, while not being a heedless sarcastic attack.

   Although a parody can be considered a derivative work under United States Copyright Law, it can be protected from claims by the copyright owner of the original work under the fair use doctrine.

   When I searched the GoComics tags for “satyr”, Frog Applause is the only comic that popped up.

   sigh… what a litigious society we live in… my first thought was Teresa is gonna get sued, too…(is that correct grammar?) satyr, the curse of being quick and trusting your spell-checker…

    You know, Charlie Brown had a very spherical head. I think he could have modelled for soccer balls. But now Theresa has messed that up. Somebody should sue her.

    Who is Steve Pastis? His name is Stephan Pastis – not Stephen Pastis! The guy is Greek and his first name is Greek.
    And who is Terry? Or Theresa for that matter? Pay attention, people… before the satirical satyrs devour you.

    Do you do that often? ;-)

    Ray–I am not above looking up “satyr” in the tags for unwholesome purposes. I just thought ejcapulet was referring to another Frog Applause strip, so I looked it up. That’s all.

    Good grief! Charlie Brown’s parasitic head is staring at ME now. It’s freaking me out!

    Margueritem said, about 1 year ago

    Other people’s comics are fair game for parodies. Teresa has done several others, as has Mark Tatulli, of Lio fame.

    olivefoote said, about 1 year ago

    What other comic strips regularly do parodies? Gweedo mentioned Pearls Before Swine and margueritem added Lio and FA.

    Amazing drawing skill in this strip.

    What if Charlie Brown’s parasitic head had a parasitic head… and his parasitic head’s parasitic head had a parasitic head… and.. and… good grief.

    I wonder if Charlie Brown has a soft warm hat for his parasitic head this winter. I’m not very creative, but I think it’d be fun to make stylish and practical parasitic head accessories. Fun little hats for fun little heads.

    Poor Charlie Brown!

    No, no. Poor Linus! He’s the one in freak-out mode.

    Do parasitic heads make a squeaky dog-toy noise when you squeeze them?

23. 

    Gweedo Murray said, about 1 year ago

    Let me squeeze one ransomknotts and I’ll get back to you. In my haste to mention Stephan Pastis in my last post I neglected to attend the proper spell.
    
    Haikumiko, thanks for the parody post. The “womanizing party animals” are often a parody of the morality they put up in the press and on tv.

    Sloop: Then you’d have Erdnussbrot instead of Mandelbrot… ;^)

    Gee, ccdesan. Thanks for making me look those up!

    I made some Sloopbrot the other day. The birds and squirrels won’t even eat it.

    OMG, pained. Why haven’t I noticed it before?! You’re a freakin’ SMURF!

    Ha. I love today’s strip.

    Yeesh! Sorry! I’m usually better at spelling. I just couldn’t remember which was a lech and which was a joke! I blame sunspots.

    Sloop: My! You went even farther than I thought you would. Based on your comment…

    OK, what happened to the armedillo levitating over the cupcake that I commented on last night? I thought we had a rare Sunday cartoon.
