"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)

as usual, all MzD seems to “cartoon” about is sex sex sex…

See Barack - your stimulant check was too much, even for yourself.
Next time, just pass out some green tea to all citizens and tell them to go out and get to work. Even you could do that.. Reel work tired you out and then you can sleep just fine.
Try catching a 87 pound Amberjack and see how well you sleep. Thats reel work. Or for some its just recreation.

It explains why there is no more “Sex Applause”.
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago
Plus, we are all out of condoms. Green tea is better birth control because it helps you stay awake and know what you are doing. and if you can’t support your children - DON”T HAVE SEX!!!!!!!!! And if you don’t have marriage to a person of an opposite sex, you can’t have sex. You can only have fornication or adultery. And you can’t reproduce with like kind so the alledged genetic mutation will die off anyway.
But lying is just as bad. So is not keeping sabbath. Not tithing is not even mentioned in the first ten. Pastors - get off that broken record and get to the basics.
Can that sex discussion get applause? Probably only from Reggie White, but he’s resting now.

Does he normally sleep on rooftops?
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago
Good place to be: on the rooftop - don’t go back into the house and get anything before you very carefully climb down the fire escape.
Jumping is not a safe option.

Emet is very funny…for a nincumpoop…
SQUIDBREAKER said, 5 months ago
Thanks - I aims to be funny. But what was with the insult? Oh, roll playing. Yes, the captains tend to insult the employees, because they aren’t afraid of becoming unemployed.
Only if they own the boat.
olivefoote said, 5 months ago
Your comments are hard to follow, EMET. What are you trying to say? (Also, are you genuinely a poor speller or is that just a part of your I-aims-to-be-funny act)?

olivefoote: Probably typos mainly. But REEL WORK is funny as in reference to FISHING. Not sure what it has to do with the cartoon, but it’s funny.

Thanks Teresa!! I’m feeling a little “misery loves company” myself today. :)

Teresa, I’m sorry to read that sickos influenced you to change your style.

A word to the would be wise: Calling yourself Johnny Big Gun will not make women automatically swoon at your feet. In fact most of them will start laughing as they walk away.

Asleep in perfect blue buildings,
Beside the green apple sea,
Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby,
Try to keep myself away from me….

Read a bridge book.
You won’t be able to stay awake!

Do you know many insomniacs, Teresa?
Prolagus said, 5 months ago
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
(Leonard Cohen)
