Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 31, 2009

Yes, you’re back, HOORAY!

I have only one other comment: Recreational handcuffs!

Someone had best pay the price, lest we all become accursed! Or branded.

i thought you might have gotten yourself into trouble with that crack about dean doozie.

and once again … leave the balls alone!

I’m looking and looking and looking, but I find no typo in the second panel! Somebody clue me in, please.

I knew it! there was no way anybody could go a whole year without referencing “flaming Viking Death Ship.”

The Viking Anti-Defamation League lawyers will be calling. Right after they pillage & rape select parts of England.

I will give you an “A” for todays’ strip, oh wait, you have one too many now.

about time Grace showed up again… surely you know some of us live for a slap from Gracey after we agonize over posting a pithy comment….

Ha! Very good, wndrwrthg, you found it.

And Teresa, it isn’t a punishment of the “victim” enjoys it.

And welcome back! A day without “Frog Applause” is a day without heavy fog. I do love the strip and the blog. Truly.

I bet it wasn’t Bill who did that, Teresat. You almost misleaded me into beleaving you.

flightsuit: the typo is in panel 3, not 2 (see the blog). “Mislead” should be “misled”. Welcome back, Teresa.

I’ll take a walk doen the garden path, if you please. Happy New Year’s to all

I will now spend most of 2010 searching for the frogapplause secret handshake. Most. The rest will be finding frog applesauce. Which is how I got here.

Frog “Applesauce” got you here? I don’t understand, but I want to!

Oh, it’s probably just the British spelling.

Rats!! Bad toothpaste?

Ah but there is nothing left to pillage in england since the primeminister got through with them.

Oddly, the’s four things I was not worried about. Thanks for making my paranoia list longer. Now I have to get rat-proof pants.

The “Turning Up The Volume” pic in the blog is certainly interesting - as a certified and licensed D.O.M., I immediately recognized one of the most controversial Playmates, Elizabeth Ann Roberts, who was 16 when the photos were taken for her Playmate shoot (this one here today was included in the pictorial) and 17 when the mag was published (January, 1958 issue). This particular shoot and slight trouble for Hefner caused a strict adherence to an 18 minimum age thereafter. She actually had a note from her mom giving permission for the posing.

Joe Doty’s head is probably shaped like this: http://tinyurl.com/yehnch6
