Aaaand back to the frogs.
This one’s just a good old-fashioned “what the hell could the story behind this art possibly be?” strip. My brain went in a few directions that didn’t make sense before settling on this one. I think I actually made good use of the wiggle-lines in the art.
In case anyone doesn’t get it, here’s a Wikipedia link and a link to what may or may not be the original poster.
I like to think the frog went on to star in “Never Give Up.”
MRS. SHOEBOX’S ASSESSMENT OF TODAY’S STRIP: *Unnecessarily-evil-sounding cackling* Okay, I did NOT see that coming.

Bringing the playpus in is the perfect touch.
I know what it’s like for the platypus
you’re a mammal, so you get all the animosity from jealous exotherms.. but you don’t get any of the benefits of the so-called preferential treatment mammals supposedly enjoy.
Ok, so what the hell is the plural of platypus anyway? Platypi? Platypusses? Platy Hearst?? (Obscure Simbianese Liberation Army reference there). And what do you call a group of them? A herd? A troop? A plaque? What is a young platypus called? Cub? Chick? Platitude?
See? You raise far to many questions by bringing platypi…platypusses… Whatever into the equation.
@Paul: I say we go with “polypus”.
It’s “platypuses”, since the word isn’t really Greek but a modern invention in English. And they don’t live in groups, so there’s only a joky name: a puddle of platypuses. A young one is probably called a “pup”.
It follows that a young platypus, being half bird & half mammal, would be half chick and half cub…. Thus a baby platypus must be a “Chub”.
Michigan j. Frog had a hard time finding work after the WB network went out of business.
i typed in “parti” to get the webcomic up, and it listed it as “frog hanging”. gives a new perspective on seeing the cartoon, even on a 3rd time……..
