"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)

I’ve never really liked the title of my strip. Like “Tom the Dancing Bug”, it was intended to be a working title only. Good thing “Blinded by Fireworks” wasn’t my working title.

I’ve always liked ‘Frog Applause’. What else would you want to call it?

Blinded by fireworks, killed by an over-zealous window cleaner.

I can’t think of it as anything other than Frog Applause. I’ve spent months doing riffs on the frog theme, after all :-)
A bear stood in the inglenook,
‘Cracker between his paws
He dropped it on his comic book
And blew up Frog Applause.

how about calling it “Emasculated by Ambidextrous Forest Creatures” that kinda says it all.

It’s too late to change the title now. And Frog Applesauce is a title several people have mistakenly called it, including one Gocomics creator. (A Google search of “frog applesauce” will reveal all).

A frog in a blender. (the first step to making frog applesauce)

For me, it’s that I’m always blinded by the fireworks. The love may or may not come later.

Fire that blinds. Works for me too.

One set of possible titles were: “Owl-Stretching Time”, “Bun, Whackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot”, “A Toad Elevating Moment”, “Sex and Violence”, “A Horse, a Bucket and a Spoon”, “It’s…” and “Baron Von Took’s Flying Circus”. It ended up as “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. I like Frog Applause. It’s nicely absurd, somewhat surreal and it stands out among all the other strip titles out there.

I could have fallen for “Bun, Whackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot”. In fact I would have paid twice my GoComics free subscription.
