I had a children's story book with images like th (yes, BD! It was papyrus not paper) these all throughout.

I bet our French Canadian friends just love these :shut: I'm sure your ancestors drew pictures on stone Expat since they lacked photography.

"Thank you for the bullfroggy card reminding that Xmas is December 25th! One of my other friends sent me one with anthropomorphic goosestepping iguanas claiming was on the Fourth of July!"
I saw a quartet of real, taxidermied bullfrogs posed as a mariachi band in an antique store for a fucking decade. She and I learned "just don't look at that shelf," because, whoa, it was far more horrible looking than it sounds. The day it was gone was the day I finally decided to take a picture of it. Part of me is disappointed that I didn't get it, most of me is glad that the thing isn't haunting my website.

I don't find the frog motif that weird. Then again, I grew up watching a TV show called "Andy's Gang". It had a puppet frog, which would appear after Andy (Andy Devine, aka Jingles from "Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok") would urge the studio audience of noisy kids, as well as those of us watching in our homes, to yell "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!".

Thanks for that link; when Pasta came out in that clip, he reminded me a little of Tim Curry. I don't remember having a Froggie, but I was the proud owner of a Captain Midnight Secret Squadron decoder ring! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvKlqMjfk1Y

While we're still on the subject of frogs, there's a plate on a shelf in our hall bathroom that has an impression of a frog on it. We visited the studio of a roadkill artist in Vermont who specializes in making pieces utilizing various roadkill carcasses she acquires. We didn't ask her where she gets them. Her name is Marion Waldo McChesney and she's known as "The Pawlet Potter". She might be worth a story of her own. Check out her work here: http://www.vtweb.com/waldo/roadkill.htm
