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

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

4 chumblefuzz 12.14.06 at 5:15 pm

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

5 katerpie 12.14.06 at 5:15 pm

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

6 Julia2 12.14.06 at 5:19 pm

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

7 Katti 12.14.06 at 5:26 pm

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

8 Aubrey 12.14.06 at 5:36 pm

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

9 Suda Nim 12.14.06 at 5:36 pm

I’d say more like a 1000mm run.

10 punkpie 12.14.06 at 5:37 pm

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

11 A thinker 12.14.06 at 5:37 pm

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 12.14.06 at 5:41 pm

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

13 layla 12.14.06 at 5:43 pm

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

until today.
that is too funny!

14 Lora 12.14.06 at 5:55 pm

Just amazing!!!

15 Lauri 12.14.06 at 5:56 pm

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

16 jaypo 12.14.06 at 5:56 pm

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

17 jaypo 12.14.06 at 5:57 pm

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

18 trisha 12.14.06 at 5:59 pm

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

19 NebraskaErin 12.14.06 at 6:13 pm

I feel a childrens’ musical coming on.

20 Wendy 12.14.06 at 6:24 pm

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

Unbelievably, amphibiously sophisticated.

21 ebee 12.14.06 at 6:35 pm

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

22 Kate 12.14.06 at 6:44 pm

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

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

23 Subhangi 12.14.06 at 6:46 pm

EEEEEEE!!!!

*PLODES*

24 Dustbunny 12.14.06 at 6:48 pm

It’s an escargot chapeau!

25 Alice 12.14.06 at 6:57 pm

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

26 Aubrey 12.14.06 at 7:11 pm

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 12.14.06 at 7:14 pm

Lol, Dustbunny!!!

28 Deb 12.14.06 at 7:34 pm

No way! :-D

This photo is certainly inspiration for a childs storybook!

29 Laurel 12.14.06 at 7:44 pm

Is that a French recipe book illustration?

30 Monica 12.14.06 at 7:49 pm

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

31 jaypo 12.14.06 at 8:04 pm

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

32 cool_catnip_buzz 12.14.06 at 8:19 pm

Monica

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

33 Julia2 12.14.06 at 8:26 pm

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 12.14.06 at 8:41 pm

Maybe instead of a snail, there was a peach?

35 lurkertype 12.14.06 at 9:35 pm

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

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

36 CB 12.14.06 at 9:45 pm

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

37 Daner 12.14.06 at 11:15 pm

“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 12.14.06 at 11:16 pm

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 12.14.06 at 11:44 pm

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

40 AuntieMame 12.14.06 at 11:48 pm

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

I love frogs. They’re so happy looking.

41 Theo 12.15.06 at 12:09 am

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 12.15.06 at 12:18 am

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

43 Aubrey 12.15.06 at 12:43 am

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

44 Redzilla 12.15.06 at 1:33 am

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

45 michellemybelle 12.15.06 at 2:04 am

Any Futurama reference is amusing – keep ‘em coming!

This frog is ready for Ascot.

46 Carrie - Hamster Defender 12.15.06 at 4:09 am

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

47 Muffles 12.15.06 at 2:36 pm

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 12.15.06 at 4:21 pm

…what?

*laughs helplessly*

This is truly awesome.

49 Mouse 12.15.06 at 6:49 pm

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!!!!!

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

53 fawn lust 12.18.06 at 12:03 am

so cute i could die! ahhh, snails.

54 tartuffesmom 01.03.07 at 5:39 pm

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.
