Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 27, 2022

That’s a mannequin, baby!

Welcome to the Negaverse! We have delightful retro paper dolls to take your mind off the frightening red sky with black stars!

Red sky at night,

sailor’s delight

and astronomer’s fright!

Teresa has found out how to detect dark matter!

You’re going out there a youngster. But you’ve got to come back a star!

What sign are you?

Can’t wait for the JWST to come fully online.

Stand well back. Her sky map has only sixteen standard candles.

thanks – same to you :)

Star light, star bright, how many stars will I see tonight?

Will there be enough light to play with my paper dolls? It takes time to cut them out and go around the tabs…a favorite pastime growing up in the 40-50’s!

For our next question, we’ll have to unpack our parallax kit.

Teresa, that dress is ever so slightly large for that paper doll. Brilliant art today, as is the case most every day.

Chew on this for awhile:

ASTRO = Refers to the Jetson’s dog

PHO = Refers to Vietnamese soup

TOME = Refers to a literary work

TRY = Refers to an extra point in football

(therefore, the only logical interpretation of today’s Frog Applause™ is …

Garfield is the anti-Christ.

(prove me wrong)

She removed her plaid paper dress and unseen undergarments but kept on her sexy black pumps, her white socks, and the gold ankle bracelet given to her by her doting uncle Ron.

Today, May 27th, is also

National Hairstylist Mental Health Awareness Day … but before you bow your heads in surprised empathy, know that today is also

National Grape Popsicle Day …!

One day though it might as well be someday

You and I will rise up all the way

All because of what you are

The prettiest star

Staying back in your memory

Are the movies in the past

How you moved is all it takes

To sing a song of when I loved

Prettiest star

.

The Prettiest Star, David Bowie

Insert tab A into slot B.

I was just thinking that they do not make greeting cards for this occasion and here your comic was! ;)

Twinkle twinkle

Stars don’t really look like that, unless you get hit in the noggin with a big stick.

What a co-winky-dink! I was only a few minutes ago posting an article over on that site about the Hubble Space Telescope and some of its galaxy snapshots! Very photogenic, BTW.

Now, don’t forget to fold back the tabs on your paper-cutout dress! We wouldn’t like any “wardrobe malfunctions” here on Frog Applause, which we all know is a very respectable and highly respected site!

My stars!
