Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 23, 2018

Nothing’s sure, but debt and taxes. (after B. Franklin)

Foxy Cry Baby

Clearly the biggest problem here is that the fox is self-aware. Quel horreur!

The first panel tells us the long and the short of it…

and it will probably fail the short arm inspection…

I’m grateful that we were told that this is a fox. I can’t say for sure if that would have been my first guess.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, stoats can be a meal.

There’s a burgeoning field of animal psychologists, but I don’t know if they make den calls.

Try The Primal Scream by Arthur Janov.

As long as you have those cute pointy fox ears, you are okay by me.

Sweet!

(even if the fox isn’t actually running)

Behold … the elusive, sketchy, and schizo tiger fox ….

I wonder if that Hendrix song would have been as popular if it had been called “Vulpine Lady.” Yeah, give us some, vulpine!

Perhaps one of your parents is a stout?

I guess we have finally learned what the fox says. Pretty anti climatic.

Wandering through tall weeds isn’t helping you..

It’s probably all in your ancestry, my whiney fox friend. Your legs are too short. That’s the real essence of your existential angst. And, what’s more, I think Sister drew you that way on purpose, to draw out your distressed debt resolution dialogue.

Art made smart. Punchy payoff. Or. true Lame….

Another alternate-reality instance of fox news.
