Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 04, 2023

A little kindness goes a long way sometimes. I think of myself as a kind person. I’m the first person to chase an orange from a paper bag that breaks, first person to give up my seat for someone who probably needs it for physical reasons (pregnancy or age). What’s wrong with being kind? If it makes me a wimp, so be it.

Hey, zebrastripes. What did you do to get into today’s strip?

Every little bit helps.

But you’re going to take 39 words to not mention it.

…Republicans want Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House…

…his kindness of looking the other way…

…or behaving like the other way really happened…

…when all he had to do is speak the truth…

…showed us all that there is a kind of kindness…

…of not taking one for the team…

…but letting the team take one or two or three…

…I mean looking the other way on rape and murder are cool…

…but don’t be a snitch…

…the boys were so proud of him that they were were knitting him a scarf & mittens…

…after all the Stitches for Snitches program was a little nicety for forgotten people just like Jim…

I wasn’t going to mention it. It was the zebra in the room.

No kindness is ever worth forgetting.

In sports the team can be called for unsportsmanship and penalized appropriately.

Excess celebrating is one.

In biblical, a parable, The Good Samaritan. My father followed this trait more than once. On the other hand, don’t give a panhandler to much spare change. They may buy liquor abundantly and poison themself. Wear a halo carefully.

“(It may have meantsomething to)”…a really large kite?…a zebra?…someone who was too shy to step out in front of the kite once and for all?…Gale to see herself used once the kite was in the sky?

The smooth path is unremarkable. Melting boulders with vinegar to allow elephants passage, that’s how you get a mention in the history books.

Forgotten small kindnesses sometimes accrete into lasting relationships. That’s how come the zebra bombed today’s strip. They missed their pet hang glider.

A string of small kindnesses makes for a beautiful pearl necklace of life.

Wowsers, I’d like a nut, hot almond Joy for something subliminal Alex. What is Ehat on eba

Any kindness is worth remembering and savoring the polite gesture….just remember….you can’t change the stripes on a ZEBRA‼️☺️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

worth it

Dead Pope Hammer? What’s next? The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?*

* That’s your (evidentiary) cue, @Sisyphos

Hardly worth mentioning, but a zebra holding up the boogie boarder’s sail might make a nice filler for the evening news … a good teaser for “Film at eleven” …!

( or click bait )

Kindness. The iced skates of life, providing smooth sailing over the cold harsh reality of life.

A zebra and a sail are vital to appreciating this.

Wind-skating is such a small kindness to a non-skater.

But, the thing is, the tagline was “like a giraffe on roller skates.” (Not a zebra on ice skates; the interloping or photobombing zebra is more suited to his rôle as Zeeba Neighba in Pearls Before Swine.). This line was used, as every tadpole knows, by Lisa Howard on her (now defunct) blog during the ’90s, when she was known as a co-star in TV’s Highlander (whence the line originated from “Dr. Anne Lindsey”) and in Gene Roddenberry’s Earth: Final Conflict as “Col. Lili Marquette.”
