"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)

Me, too. –Oh, by the way, what was her name?

I think he’s a widower.

FLS - that was brilliance. A more apt comparison does not exist. I challenge anyone to top it.
I should really stick to Quigmans… I can see that were I to read this strip I could easily come unglued.

Experience, what you have left when you have forgotten the name.

if you are too busy
to write,
just wave
at the moon
reflected in seas of seasons,
tales of blood upon sand.
I knew you before
either of us remembered
and
am gobstonished; the remote
won’t change channels
in one’s heart.

Maybe the “her” he’s talking about is a dog, the one he used to walk with on the beach.

I don’t miss HER. I miss all my stuff. (She took everything).
weedersea said, 5 months ago

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting,
If I could hear her heart softly pounding…
Only if she was lying by me,
Then I’d lie in my bed once again.

Sad no matter who he’s talking about.

Teresa: I haven’t seen you posting anywhere lately. Is everything OK?
Nozzi said, 5 months ago
I believe she’s waiting for you across the oceans, like my beloved.

The next line is, “But my aim will improve.”
olivefoote said, 5 months ago
Yeah. When is the last time Teresa commented? Other than her blog, she’s silent.
olivefoote said, 5 months ago
Unglued? The 5th fleet? I don’t understand those comments.

Yeah, Risitas, isn’t it a shame when someone uses a genre that has an amazing amount of versatility to do more than go for a cheap laugh? Oh, wait, no it isn’t.
