Frogger… a classic classic.

Don’t get hit by a truck!

log 100 = 2

What are they doing?

Did they cross some traffic before they go to the pool?

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

Watch out for the trucks….

Frogger!

So where’s the traffic?

Must be Tom Brady’s log

We have a Frogger. The original stand-up arcade one. It came from a hangout somewhere in Kansas City. It is pretty beat-up but still works fine.

It took me a second to realize they made a Frogger video game in the pool.

How to get banned from a public swimming pool.

Just add gators, otters, and female frogs and they have the set.

I can see this happening in homes nationwide (well, the ones where they read FoxTrot):

“Hey, Dad, what is this strip referencing?”

“It’s, um, er, uh, I think it’s a video game of some sort – I’ll ask your grandpa (gets on the phone)…hello, dad? What’s the reference in today’s FoxTrot? … What’s “Frogger”? … No buttons? Was there a second joystick, like in Robotron 2084? … One joystick? What kind of a game has one joystick and no buttons? … Okay, but besides Pac-Man? … What’s a Make Trax?"

Next they will recreate Pac-Man and gobble each other’s dots

“What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs

Rolls over your neighbor’s dog?

What’s great for a snack and fits on your back?

It’s Log, Log, Log!"

Pitfall rules!! Love the throwback, played that game all the time.

Is this another jab at Tom Brady?

George: Oh, I was unstoppable. The perfect combination of Mountain Dew and mozzarella. Just the right amount of grease on the joy stick.

Jason, that’s what you get for always making him Luigi!

Tom Brady does ninja stuff now?

Cute! Brings back fond memories of the Hasbro Frogger my siblings and I played (late 90s/early 2000s)

Playing Frogger, i see…

I loved playing Frogger when I was younger even though I was always getting Splatted by the trucks but it was so much fun and I could play for a long time.

Crossy road or frogger?

New American Ninja obstacle course?

Frogger

Hang on, didn’t they have sinker logs in higher levels?

A Tom Brady log?
