"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 use my armpit. Less likely to come in contact with anything else…

But I can’t do that! I have buckets hanging from my elbows for when I eat watermelon!

@plight,
I saw your response from Sunday. Not to me, but to another. I have to say that I’ve always enjoyed Frog Applause. Most especially since it encourages thought and sometimes pushes the limit of what I find ‘comfortable’. But that is the thing about pushing the limit. Sometimes you push on over it. Sunday was such a day.
Who’se fault is that? After reflection, I’d have to say mine. Because I know ahead of time that when I go somewhere dangerous I run the risk of getting burned. Should I whine, cry, complain or be offended? Absolutely not. I just need to be prepared to occasionally see something I don’t like. And if I see it too much, stay in the light, where it’s safe.

Dypak, please read Teresa’s blog explaining what was in her mind when she did the cartoon. We all bring our own life experiences to things.
