I've been very busy the last few days and the frog has also been hopping around a lot.
That's why I can only show the pictures of the last few days today

Funnily enough, when I was looking for a picture frame in the attic yesterday, I found this print of a frog that I made in 2013. Very fitting for Frogcember

The Frog (1908)

A film by the pioneering Spanish film director and cinematographer Segundo Chomón. With his innovative use of early splice-based tricks and a penchant for optical illusions he is often compared to the slightly earlier Georges Méliès, and indeed has been dubbed "The Spanish Méliès" by some. Though the similarities are clear, Chomón departs from Méliès in his variety of subjects and his use of animation, an art form he played a key role in developing. In this surreal short a sprightly frog circles various come-to-life fountain tableaux, as well as a giant version of itself, an enormous head being drenched by water, and some multicoloured fire thrown in for good measure.

Illustration from “One Hundred Fables of Aesop, published in 1903 by Percy J. Billingshurst” Artist unknown

Do you know the story of the frogs and the king?

It goes back to a fable by Aesop and goes something like this:
(freely retold)

*In earlier times, the frogs lived a carefree life in the ponds and pools. But their boredom led them to approach the god Jupiter with loud cries and ask for a king.
When Jupiter laughed at their request, they intensified their cries even more. The benevolent Jupiter took pity on the naive frogs and threw a thick old stick into the pond, causing a loud splash that frightened the frogs and drove them to flee.

After the frog community had regrouped, one of them stuck his head out over the water to recognize the new king and called the others over to look at him. They approached, some timidly, and greeted their ruler. But when they realized that the new king was lifeless and made only of wood, they jumped on him and trampled him underfoot, again asking the god to give them a “real” king.

Jupiter then granted them the stork, which killed them one by one. In despair, they cried out in tears: “O god Jupiter, help us or we will die.” Jupiter replied: “Your inappropriate and impulsive pleading has brought you this king, whom you must now endure, since you rejected the good and gentle one.*

btw. I think this fable is somehow pretty topical - don't you agree?

False prophets

"Frogs emerging from the mouths of humans and beasts are a well-known symbol from medieval illustrations. They stand for false prophets who want to mislead people."
