Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 09, 2021

What should I call it? I hate to be rude in an emergency.

No parachute so I’ll call a paramedic.

AND, what’s the magic word?

I’ll call just as soon as I take all the money from your wallet as payment for calling an ambulance. By the way, what name do you want me to call the ambulance when it gets here? Fred? Hector? Zippo?

I will phone a rescue dog. So shake not stir for a bonding dog. Is that number 007?

“Have an accident?” “No thanks, just had one!”

Damn, all I have is my lawyer’s number on an old match book cover.

Re Siobhan Reynolds: The justice system seems more interested in allowing individuals to further their careers by grandstanding and witch-hunting in search of promotions and glory rather than justice.

Rub some dirt on it. Walk it off.

all good things to those who wait

Well, it takes time to scroll down, only to discover you need help! I already called 911 and they’ll be be here soon….whaaaat happen? I can run down to the Froglandia Bath Mat Factory for anything you may need….RX, slippers, robe, toothbrush, paste, comb….I find they always have everything that’s needed when one is in the hospital….I’ll call you when you get a room and come right over with your “stuff”!

Well, since you didn’t prompt the obvious joke by saying call me an ambulance, I suppose I could call for help.

What’s the number for 911?

Looks like he had a long way to go and a short time to get there …!

Happy Day to all you Mommas out dere …!

He’ll need water for bed head hair. The sirens along with a fire truck, the ambulance has to know the different jellys to use.

…the empty space takes time to comprehend…

…so don’t yell…

…Acme medical doesn’t belive in cellphones…

…or condescending cb radios…

…but help is on the way…

…I am going to make a print out of this…

…[not really]…

…and draw a life saving helicopter…

…and maybe Superman…

…or maybe Baker Mayfield…

…all is suddenly all good…

…happy Mother’s Day…

Less negative space for more context.

I’m waiting for your master to pull that long line attached to your head and drag you out of sight, out of mind, leaving a nice, clean, empty cartoon frame….

Da Blog: don’t get me started on “pain doctors” … although they do seem to be somewhat caught between a rock and a hard place these days. The rock being the law, and the hard place being health insurance requirements. I have other “issues” regarding “hoops” the pain docs make you jump through, the time that’s wasted, and how they organize to milk the system they set up among themselves, but some other time … I have an ambulance to call …!

…I wouldn’t call this Frog Applause a car wreck….

… let alone an ambulance…

…some would say it was a not so subtle call for help…

…but you can’t help someone that won’t help themself…

…I know…

…a terrible thing for a doctor to say…

… but did you see Jebus help himself?…

…(eventhough there is a national day for that now it seems)…

…I mean…come on…

…this is America…

…you’re supposed to take what you need.. .

…and take what you don’t need…

…to sell to someone that might need it later…

…where are your ethics?…

I never could play right field. I was always out in left.

The missionary postion and trying to ride no less.

The 5 minute ambulance ride costs $3,000 and the paramedics get $15 an hour.

Teresa – lots of white space in that panel.

You could have included a PSA for the Froglandian Board of Tourism and Surveillance Picklery.

Do better.

Is he looking for the subliminal?

Poor Frogbert.
