Frog Showdown

Frogs.

I love this illustration of an apparently cross, ancient frog standing off against his much more minute, modern-day counterpart, not the least of which because the big guy is characterized “as big as a bowling ball.” (Now that that phrase has reached popular status, I’ve got to stop referring to certain objects “as big as a ladies bowling ball,” as I often will.)

No, I mainly like the illustration because of the scale-establishing pencil thrown in there half-heartedly. I want to see the little guy grab it and use it as a weapon against the big guy; stab him in the air sac or something.
