I named my dead frog for earth science class (when I was in Jr. High), dissection after Michigan J. Frog, so I guess it's an indirect homage to this.truthbetoldradiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322252026214252000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-4576447741249414982011-09-29T20:39:26.674-07:002011-09-29T20:39:26.674-07:00Hey Mardi -- I visited CCAD a couple of years ago....Hey Mardi -- I visited CCAD a couple of years ago.

And with dialogue no less! This was an enjoyable cartoon and marked the return of Michigan J. Frog even before he was named that. Hampton was hesitant about dissecting frogs before, but having his frog come to life and sing and dance (and he's the only one knows about it) made him all the more freaked out! A fitting testament to the late Earl Kress and Don Messick.Acme Girlhttp://toonsntunes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
