Or is it Carol of the Bulls?

ooooooh PETA better be not seeing this

Another pre-Bleeb comic…

I’m reminded of a Monty Python sketch.

The Bells of St. Mary on the Mouse Organ.

I heard “Jingle Bells” before I read the caption.

I wonder how it sounds. Also, don’t hit them too hard.

It must be a magical experience seeing so many twangers being plunked!

Poor frogs!

Shouldn’t that be “Carol of the Bulls”?

John and Bleeb must be taking some vacation time.

Those frogs appear to be missing their legs! Check the cafeteria menu!

It takes real talent to get a clear sounding ribbit from the frogs! Depending where it’s hits means a lot.

The kids were inspired by Michigan J. Frog singing and dancing to Have a Holly Jolly Christmas and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. [These frogs have not been so inspired.]

Toadily inappropriate!

Carol of the Bells is likely my favorite Christmas song.

So that’s where they sourced the frogs we dissected in my HS freshman year biology class.

Too painful for the little guy to watch?

It’s the Muppetphone!

After the performance, they’ll be serving frogs legs for lunch.

Ah I see why the dissection class canceled

Then one froggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say……………….

Budget cuts. They had to sell the bells for scrap to pay the power bill.

I actually saw a real performance like this done with a choir of actors dressed as students of Gryffindor and holding hand puppets that looked like big frogs. They performed at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. Good fun!

BUD…WISE….ERRRRRR!!!

Christmas carols always make me feel jumpy.

This should replace the barking dogs.

I hope Teresa sees this! FROG CHOIR

I would have used electrodes myself, but then I flunked Biology. :)

Gosh, I hope nobody croaked on stage!

At first, I thought they were eating ’em!

Great one John! Hilarious and totally unique.

His guy likes drawing recessive chins and snaggleteeth
