   Dear FA Friends of Rotifer Thalweg

   I have sad but familiar news about my son Rotifer. He was reading today’s cartoon while watching an old rerun of Captain Kangaroo and saw back to back ads for Chef Boyardee and SpaghettiOs. The pepperoni reminded him of pasta, then the ads sent him over the edge. He bought a case of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and disappeared in the Little Italy section of Pulaski County, Arkansas.

   We found him, had ANOTHER intervention, and he agreed to go overseas for more treatment. With the help of pasta addiction specialists we located clinics in Spain (he hates Paella) and Morocco (who knows what they eat in Morocco but he probably hates that, too) that treat pasta addiction. When he dries out (and with any luck) he’ll be back posting comments her again in a couple of weeks.

   Sincerely,

   Dear Teresa

   Some people dream of seeing their child’s name in lights above the Great White Way.

   People rarely dream of seeing their child’s name under pictures of spork-related cutlery on The Flog.

   (but this does ease the pain of dealing with his pasta-based addiction)

   Sincerely,

   Rotifer’s Mother

   Dear Teresa 

   Thank you for using your cartoonistry to remind us, “It’s mighty nice to be important, but more important to be nice.” 

   Sincerely,

   P.S. Those two nice gentlemen are just friends, right?

   Dear Ms. Burritt

   May I offer a gentle correction to an today’s entry on the Flog?*

   That was MY Top Ten list, not my son’s (as I recall he was on a spaghetti bender the entire month of December 2016 and wouldn’t have known a keyboard from a hole in his head the size of a bread basket).

   Sincerely,

   Rotifer’s Mother

   Oh dear. If Rotifer sees this he’ll wear the numbers off the Olive Garden Pasta Pass “someone” (I’m looking at you, Teresa) got him for Christmas.

    Dear Ms. Burritt* 

    This concerns your recent entry on your new/old blog thingy and your request for comments about jumping or jiving or some such regarding the FA™ archive.  

    When the Research Department at the Frog Applause™ – Rotifer Thalweg Gocomics Appreciation Society (“FARTGAS”) was helping me prepare for the Frog Applause™ 10th Anniversary Extravaganza by digging deep for interesting words and phrases coined or sampled by FA™ over the years, I believe we did read every FA™ all the way back to its inception (including that now famous reference to “snail caviar”). 

    Speaking of “digestible proportions”, we (the royal “we”) have boanthropy, which required us to take frequent breaks to graze in the back pasture. Therefore we did not do this all in one sitting.  

    Unfortunately, all the research notes were destroyed when Rotifer’s stash of illegal untaxed Italian sourced pasta self ignited last year, and we can’t locate the notes to provide you with the exact dates of any FA™ strips that were referenced in the FA™ 10th Anniversary Extravaganza. 

    Sincerely,  

    Rotifer’s Mother
