1	A webcomic created by Tropers/NewtonTheNewt. Frog endures his friend Newton's crazy sense of humor and awful puns. Wise Old Bullfrog, a self-proclaimed philosopher, and Angry Betta, a bitter Siamese fighting fish support the strip as recurring characters.

3	The first season introduces these four characters and ''develops'' them, for lack of a better word. There's no storyline; it's a [[NotableGagPerDayWebcomics Gag Per Day]] comic.
