This is the famous, or infamous, page from the Froglandia reading primer that caused the 1954 furor. Many on the Froglandia Primary School Board and Mugwump Society held the position that this page wasn’t a reading exercise at all, but a reading readiness exercise, and thus had no business in the reading primer. Certain radical elements of the Board even went so far as to hint that there were elements of spatial relationships or even logic! Logic, of course, is strictly forbidden in the Froglandia Unified school system.
It is a trick question. Blue cow is standing on Pez Duck, and has crushed Pez Duck to death beneath her gigantic, clumsy hooves. Blue Cow will grieve, and be devastated by what she has stupidly done. You must help Blue Cow discover the accidental death of her friend, and then assist her in the process of overcoming her grief and guilt. Show your work.
Not sure the village could withstand Blue Cow. And, further, I don’t know that Blue Cow is one of the Good Guys, so I can’t give it an endorsement. Maybe Pez Duck is trying to escape a dire fate.
This way, Pez Duck! Break through the Fourth Wall and into freedom! All ducks are free in Froglandia!

Blue Cow has to join us out here to have a chance to find him. Can you see him, too?

Pez Duck is avoiding blue cow, and I won’t give him away.

Pez Ducks is easier found in a linear view off the bright lights of The Village. The blue c of w is taking by a b as c..

Say, is that the mother of Paul Bunyon’s Blue Ox? Or its girl-friend? Or maybe just a bum steer?
Looks Like Pez Duck is right of center, foreground.
You to your insurance agent: “My house was destroyed by a cow-flop.”
Insurance agent: “That’s a load of BS!”
You: “No, man, it was a cow!”
Agent: “Udder nonsense!”

What will Blue Cow DO to Pez Duck once she finds him? Will my help make me complicit in a ridiculous storyline?

It actually took me a while. No wonder Blue Cow can’t find Pezzy Duck — like Randy_B said, BC needs to have our perspective.

…this may not seem to have anything to do with Ryan Reynolds…
…but, believe me, it does…
…his Daredevil is dead on with the comics…
…probably DC’s least understood Superhero…
…I mean, you might not be able to milk Canada dry…
…but you can drink Canada Dry…
…until it is no longer a million lake swamp…
…but just a couple of dead pools of slop…
…meanwhile…
…in Froglandia…
…there are tons of different pez duck dispensers…
…(being one of Froglandia’s 14 favorite candy/toy combos)…
…Donald, Baby Huey, rubber, Daffy, sitting, duck duck goose, Lame, Yakky Doodle, Darkwing, Scrooge Mc, Huey, Louie & Dewey, Daisy…
….and half of the Froglandia suburb, Pezville is made from duck pez candies…

Y’know, ‘Frog Applause” is my ‘Far Side’. Many others won’t get this, and it’s not connected to today’s strip, but it is.

Awww! Come out come out where ever you are!
Pez-haps he wants them all to himself? Gasp!I spot the village duck, and he’s all quacked up about his Pez dispenser….it’s empty! He’s going LOON-y
Mean while, the blue moo-moo is trampling the village looking for his lost blueberry pie. His thoughts look up, to the MOON,
The villagers are in a panic…they don’t know what to do first….fill the ducks pez diapenser or send the blue moo moo over the moon….
What to do, what to doooo!

Oh what luck! I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill, but now I can’t shake that damn duck!
willie_mctell about 2 years ago
I see it quite clearly. It’s in front of a house on the bottom a bit right of center. I’m not sure how to tell Blue Cow.
ChukLitl Premium Member about 2 years ago
Pez Duck has gone into witness protection. Blue Cow better clarify her alibi.
