What could be more serene than two country bullfrogs sitting at the edge of the pond reducing the mosquito population? Well, you’ll find out in today’s comic.
I’ll probably get some crap for this, but I simply love the Three Dog Night song “Out In The Country.” I have lived on some farms in my life and spent more time then I care to remember watching the paint dry at one of my Grandmother’s farmhouse. But, the country is very peaceful and some of the best star gazing is done in a freshly mowed field where there are NO city lights at all and you can see what seems like the entire Universe. Now that’s worth the boredom!
I dedicate this comic to anyone who’s had to spend a weekend on a farm and found themselves bored out of their minds!
Edit 2011: A little Rory Gallagher by suggestion. Rocks hard man…

I’m quite aware that I’m 2 1/2 years late with this comment – but I think this strip should be re-titled Bullfrog Blues.
I mean – check out the sheer raw power in this performance.
That’s one hot tune, man! Thanks for linking it! I had forgotten about Rory… been too long since I rocked him on the old turntable!

okay i know this is like 6 or 7 months late but dude I LOVE THREE DOG NIGHT and im only 20!
Better late than never! This actually posted in February of 2008… so it’s more like 3 years ago. But, I’m glad you’re reading the archives and enjoying the comic!
Three Dog Night had a place in my collection. They weren’t the first albums I’d pull out, but one needed “make out” music too and the girls loved Three Dog Night.

woops i saw the date on uhenninger’s comment hahaha i was just surfin around when i saw Treading Ground and found it hillarious, wanted to look for similar comics and found his link to your site. i love finding awesome gems like these hidden in the web. BRANDY was the first song i ever heard from three dog night. dad’s fault. I LOVED IT! anyway, continue making this comic man! it is funnyyyy!
okay heartbreaker alert… i was just informed brandy wasn’t sung by three dog night…. but by the looking glass. :|:|:|:| at least they still get credited for just an old fashioned love song
“He said Brandy, you’re a fine girl. What a good wife you would be…”
That damn song was played NON STOP in its time and I quite hate it for that reason alone. It’s not a bad song, but when it’s played every hour on the hour for weeks on end, you get a little sick of it.
And indeed, that was a Looking Glass song and I believe their only hit.

The frogs should gang up on him and pee on his hair just as he peed in their pond and his school used their fellow frogs for biology class revenge hahahahaha.
