Frog and Toad meet Throg


 Some of my earliest memories are of my father reading Frog & Toad stories to my sister and I before bedtime.  Even as a kid, I had an appreciation for the beautiful illustrations that those books had.  I can still remember my father's deep voice saying "Chugarum!" as Grandfather Frog.

A tale such as this sounds absolutely ribbiting!

What Anon647 said! But, this morning's brilliant cover raises an interesting question: if Frog and Toad became costumed crime-fighters in Gotham City, would they drive a Batrachian-mobile?

Okay, you did it to me again- you made me laugh out loud. Congratulations.

My younger brother was into the Frog and Toad books when we were kids. I had a tendency to read anything that wasn't nailed down (and some things that were), so of course I read them all.

never saw Frog and Toad, but they look like "regular people". Now, if they met Howard the Duck....

I can just see the word balloon on real-world cover: "Come, my friends! Let us celebrateth Cinco De Mayo by drinking some mead (with flies in it)!"

Or even the Pet Avengers!

Now, for a slightly more serious question: has there ever been a Beta Ray Throg?

I'd rather see Beta Ray Throg and Godzilla double-teaming the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man!
