"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

INTERVIEW WITH J.C. DUFFY. PART 1
ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº ººº
Teresa: Are you up-to-date on your immunizations?
Joe: Everything but hoof and mouth disease. My hooves are killing me.
ººº
Teresa: What is your favorite dipping sauce?
Joe: Zesty Ranchero.
ººº
Teresa: Who’s your favorite Stooge?
Joe: Even though Larry and I grew up in the same neighborhood (MANY years apart, of course), my favorite stooge is Curly. And my favorite patsy is Lee Harvey Oswald.
ººº
Teresa: What’s the name of the street on which you first lived?
Joe: Philip Street. (Right around the corner from Larry!)
ººº
Teresa: Do you have teeth? If so, what color is your toothbrush?
Joe: I have almost all of them. I just schlepped to the bathroom to get my toothbrush. (This interview is beginning to frighten me.) The brush is a two-tone job, kind of a yellow ochre plastic, with grey rubber wrapped around it at key gripping points. I love my key gripping points.

You could be right, little one. Adversity can give one more empathy towards others.

It’s when people want something that they turn nice.

Sometimes when the chips are down, my key gripping points are all I have.

Teresa,
I got a GoComics account just in the nick of time to say thanks for the interview.
My key gripping points are still tingling.
Olivefoote,
Philip Street is in Philadelphia. But for some reason there’s no plaque (yet) on my childhood house.
