Wise AND cute! If only more of those kinds of dudes existed in real life, LOL.

This reminds me of a very old French movie in which Leslie Caron played a naive girl who had puppets talk to her, somehow she didn't realize that they were animated by a man who was in love with her. In any case, they are lovely.

The frog rocks! Kinda sorta reminds me of this frog "Freddie the Frog" from this wacky TV show Called something like "The New Zoo Review"- back in the 70s. Keep up the awesome work. I'm trying to hit deadlines the next couple weeks, so I probably won't post till closer to Christmas. Miss doing it.
