I am always intrigued by the Twitter tweets and Facebook posts that get the most likes. On Friday, I was surprised to see that my tweet on sketching Frog and Toad had gotten the most likes of any tweet I've ever made. Here's the sketch I made:
I created it after seeing this post that someone else had tweeted:
And then I fell down a rabbit hole looking for information about which Frog and Toad book contained that image. I'm almost sure it's from Frog and Toad Are Friends. I got to see other delightful images from the books and made another sketch:
The next day, I had a vision of creating a series of sketches that combines Frog and/or Toad with other beloved characters from childhood stories. Here's one I call Frog of Green Gables:
I thought it was slightly disturbing, and not just because I couldn't get the hat right. But I also thought it was funny and charming in an off kilter way.
Will I do more in this series? Will there be a Toad Longstocking? Will I send Frog and Toad to a little house on a prairie?
Stay tuned!
