    [zombie voice]: Yes, my vacation on the planet of the brain slugs was wonderful. You should go there, too.

  3. Darlithia says:

    With the power of my antenna eyes I shall take over your little frog brain! Bwahahaha!

  4. chumblefuzz says:

    I love it, a frog in a tiny snail flapper hat! Too cute!

  5. katerpie says:

    Well, this is the first snail-on-eyeball action I’ve seen so far, so that’s gotta count for something.

  6. Julia2 says:

    Snail: There’s something different about this rock I climbed…

  7. Katti says:

    Was the snail just about to finish a 1000m-run?

  8. Aubrey says:

    Chumblefuzz – so that means that froggie flapper should be wearing its hat ‘cloche to its brow’.

  9. Suda Nim says:

    I’d say more like a 1000mm run.

  10. punkpie says:

    White’s tree frogs are so cute… I used to have a few.

  11. A thinker says:

    Oh my gosh! Amazing. Two slimeys, enjoying a friendly moment…

    And as a photog, I’m loving the colours, composische, and DOF on this one. A winner artistically as well as Cutistically.

  12. shanchan says:

    Wow, this may actually knock Jon Stewart off my computer’s background…

  13. layla says:

    you know–I never would have called a frog/snail combo cute.

    until today.
    that is too funny!

  14. Lora says:

    Just amazing!!!

  15. Lauri says:

    Oh, yeah, this is going on my desktop for sure!!!
    Soooooo cute!!!

  16. jaypo says:

    How stylish and smart! Aubrey, we’re waiting for your unsurpassable fashion commentary on this 1940′s remix…

  17. jaypo says:

    eeep! sorry, Aubs! didn’t see your above comment!

  18. trisha says:

    I have always wanted a Dumpy Tree Frog…I wonder if the hat is sold seperately!

  19. NebraskaErin says:

    I feel a childrens’ musical coming on.

  20. Wendy says:

    Little Miss Froggie McRibbet in her snail-like pillbox hat, a la Jackie O.

    Unbelievably, amphibiously sophisticated.

  21. ebee says:

    Snail:”Scuze me Mac, can you pull over here? I needta stop and get a paper, leave the meter running…”

  22. Kate says:

    Snail is leaning down, looking into Froglet’s eye, saying ‘H’lo’ :D

    ‘Bout time we had another froggie on CO. Rah.

  23. Subhangi says:

    EEEEEEE!!!!

    *PLODES*

  24. Dustbunny says:

    It’s an escargot chapeau!

  25. Alice says:

    I like how happy the little froggy looks with her little hat ^_^

  26. Aubrey says:

    Actually JP, this could be something Elsa Schiaparelli might have designed in the ’30′s. She was influenced by the Surrealists, and she would have loved this Dali-ng caplet.

  27. Lauri says:

    Lol, Dustbunny!!!

  28. Deb says:

    No way! :-D

    This photo is certainly inspiration for a childs storybook!

  29. Laurel says:

    Is that a French recipe book illustration?

  30. Monica says:

    Hmmmm…. “Froghat”….weren’t they a mustache-rock band back in the 70′s?

  31. jaypo says:

    Schiaparelli, yes! One of my favorites. Other favorite–Balenciaga.

  32. cool_catnip_buzz says:

    Monica

    ‘Froghat’ – Yes, they were… and their best known song is “Slow Ride” – kind of appropriate in view of this pic.

  33. Julia2 says:

    Laurel- [lol] Nooo! You’ve just brought up flashbacks of my days in the kitchen of a french restaurant.. the escargot preparation for hours at a time was awful, but serving frog legs? Now that left a permanent psychic scar..

  34. Aubrey says:

    Maybe instead of a snail, there was a peach?

  35. lurkertype says:

    Where, today, can a young couple go out and…

    This photo is a children’s book waiting to happen. “Frog and Snail”.

  36. CB says:

    Ooh, is that a white-lipped tree frog??? I havn’t seen one of those since I was Down Under!

  37. Daner says:

    “But what are we going to do on the brain slug planet?”

    *zombie voice*: “Nothing, just walk around for a while without a helmet”

  38. Allison says:

    I think I am obsessed with this photo. I love the way the frog’s feets are curled up and he’s like, “Ah, a head snail. Life is good!” and the snail is all, “Oooh, neato!”

  39. Brak_Silverbone says:

    Frogs are always stylin’! And hey, is that Snailio Inglesias??

  40. AuntieMame says:

    And I’ll bet this hat stays on in a windstorm, too. :)

    I love frogs. They’re so happy looking.

  41. Theo says:

    This is a new top-tenner in Theo’s C.O. Photo Faves. Just a damn cool piccy.
    Also like the blue barrel polar bear an awful lot.
    And that breakdancing hamster kicks ass.
    Sleepy puppy rocks my socks. (And I do wear socks.)
    Sittin’-up Scottish Fold Cat made mah Schmoop do Google image searches on “Scottish Fold Sitting Up” (try it, it’s fun).
    Otters otters otters, otters; otters otters otters otter & other otters.
    CO pwns CNN.

    Overall I’d say it’s been a darn good week here. And it’s all Meg, peeps; I haven’t had to post anything since Kimchee’s “Sup?” kangaroo. (That was fun, though. SCHNORF)

  42. alex says:

    one of the best and most unexpected pictures on this site.

  43. Aubrey says:

    Hat designed by: Escar-CoCo Chanel (for CO, exclusively).

  44. Redzilla says:

    Thanks, Daner! I was feeling like no one else was amused by the Futurama reference.

  45. michellemybelle says:

    Any Futurama reference is amusing – keep ‘em coming!

    This frog is ready for Ascot.

  46. Carrie - Hamster Defender says:

    thees is just the sweetest pictures… I love little green slimy things almost as much as fuzzy wuzzy things

  47. Muffles says:

    Très raffinée madame grenouille! Un chapeau par Escar-Co-Co! C’est le dernier mot, très chic!

    “We go now to ze horses in Deauville, allez!” (The Grand Dame sniffs, all haughty and shit)

  48. Courtney says:

    …what?

    *laughs helplessly*

    This is truly awesome.

  49. Mouse says:

    Excellent! Every year I write a story for my niece for christmas, and this year I was drawing a blank on story themes— and here it is. I can so do somthing with a snail and a frog. And maybe a turtle, then I can work in my favorite joke… What did the snail say as it was riding on the turtle’s back?
    .
    .
    Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!

  52. Enigma_Noir says:

    Perfect picture. Just perfect. My boyfriend likes snails SO MUCH and I LOOOVE frogs!!!

  53. fawn lust says:

    so cute i could die! ahhh, snails.

  54. tartuffesmom says:

    technically speaking, this babe is a White’s Tree Frog from Down Under, White refers to a patronym, not a color.
    nicknamed Dumpy Tree Frog (Mexican cousin),and Smiling Frog
    (for its wide grin). Latin name Litoria caerulea: because it turns light blue-green for tree top basking, and brown for under tree camoflage. I own two of them and they are docile and lovable.
