Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 04, 2018

If you have the figure for it, go right ahead.

Dress right, dress ! Unless it’s Dress left, dress!

I’m not normally in favor of heels, but I must say that he makes them look good.

Kapoor began providing a commentary on what they knew so far. Ms. Kastoria had not been present at a rather important engagement. All attempts to contact her had met with failure, so an officer had been sent to check on her at her residence. When he arrived, the residence had been sealed, without evidence of any third parties having been present. Their conclusion was that the death had either been accidental or the result of suicide by beaver, which, while somewhat odd, would not have been the most odd thing they had seen and within possibility. I was myself dressed in emulation of my dead mother, in honor of her love and sacrifice for the sake of my betterment. There was little of uniformity in our society, and we, better for it.

I will not be afraid of my government, he said. My government will be afraid of me!

But, his mother always wanted him to quit smoking, and this bothered him.

He does, he looks scary good (don’t look too closely at the ankles!). I love the pearls at the gloved wrist. Très chic!

Does this dress make me look fat ?

After getting a gander at her closet, he went to see Aunt Bea’s doctor to ask about her health. The doc explained that HIPAA rules preclude any disclosures without a waiver from the patient. After grumbling briefly, Dexter went home and dusted off his list of subtle poisons.

Too dark?

Mr Dressup goes to San Francisco.

Dexter, Norman Bates, and two others would get together every Thursday early evening for a card game of Contract bridge..

After years of meticulous and painstaking research it is my conclusion that one of five generic comments covers every Frog Applause™ strip:

1.      Don’t you people ever sleep?

2.      I don’t get it.

3.       Frog Applause™ is like quantum physics – understanding requires a thorough grasp of wave-particle duality and the Uncertainty Principle.

4.      The overlords aren’t gonna like this.

…. (and, if all else fails) …

5.      E=MC²*   (Oops. I mean …) Spork!

Such fine posture, mom would be proud. Dare I say the ensemble is begging for a floppy hat, and don’t forget to open the zipper on your purse so your little dog can breath. No, not that little dog, the other one.

Seems practical. But, as I know (let’s not say out loud how I know), unless Mom was a big woman, her clothes probably would need to be let out for her Big Strong Boy to fit in them. Especially when smoking his pipe or bong or hookah.

Nobody would say nay these days….
