I wanted to experiment with creating a comic out of a single piece of paper, a fold-up comic, as an exercise in creating something that size, challenging myself to make a comic in that specific format. I decided to make the comic about Frogby, seeing how much people seemed to respond to him whenever I shared my Frogby illustrations with them. People seem to love Frogby and it makes me so happy because I love that little frog, too. When I was making him out of clay, I was just trying to think of something I could easily sculpt as a beginner and decided on making a little frog dude.
I first described Frogby as having vibes of like Gumby’s nephew or something and I think that’s probably the best description, still. He’s just a cool little frog who loves seeing the world.
I hope you’ll take a look at the mini-comic, it’s available to download and print your own copy on itch.
