Further Information on Lack of Frogs

   For two years, Doc Barbara has been concerned about the disappearance of frogs from her pond and even went so far as to hire a male model pin-up to encourage erotic amphibian activity. As you can see from this photo of a frogless pool, she has been unsuccessful, though the goldfish at the back looks suspiciously fat and well fed after a long winter.

   However, some progress has been made in tracking down the cause of the problem and a sighting of our alpha individual with his leg bandaged, obviously by an adoring female, has suggested to our heroine that he could be indisposed for a while. How the injury was caused remains cloaked in mystery but members of the local W.U.G. (Women's Undomesticated Group), long famed for their detective abilities, have offered to investigate. Meanwhile all we wish is that Froggie gets back on his feet and performs with zeal and gusto.

NEW EPISODE IN FROG SAGA

   Our regular readers (who increase daily by geometric progression) and who follow Doc Barbara's activities with avid interest, will recall that she used a sex-symbol model to encourage the reluctant frogs in her garden to mate. They were moved by the photo which showed that, after a night on duty, the pin-up creature was completely exhausted (see June issue).

   Here we show an unexpected result: Froggie seems to have found an inamorata of his own and has clearly taken pity on the bandaged ankle of the beloved. However, he seems to be taking the ethic of courtly love a little too far by playing himself the distant and unobtainable role usually attributable to the lady.  Doc Barbara informs us that she will discuss the matter with him before the Spring and we all hope that this latest development will improve the worrying situation in her pond.

Reporter from the Brynbuga Beagle: I just can't wait!!! This is a matter of utmost amphibian importance. Does the beauteous lady have a foot missing? How does she hop? An easy conquest I'd say.
