You know, I never bothered to count. @8^) Suffice it to say, a lot. It
started last Christmas when my girlfriend, knowing I'd eventually illustrate
the Plague of Frogs, ordered me 10 LEGO frogs on Bricklink. It took a few
more Bricklink purchases before I felt I had enough to do it right, though.

Not glue per se, but I do admit to "cheating". I used some sticky putty
stuff that is easy to apply, remove, and reuse. I felt a little bad about
breaking the "rules", but couldn't think of a better way to show frogs
clamboring onto people and certain surfaces that that just don't have studs.

The frog plague was definitely the most fun to illustrate. It doesn't
strike me so much like a plague as it does an annoyance. But who am I to
question Yahweh?

You're right, it's strage that the frogs are not in the pool. I thought of
putting some in there, but I would have wanted them to look partially
submerged or something, and couldn't think of a good way to do that short of
cutting a frog in two -- and that, to me, would be far too blasphemous.
Thanks for the comments. Hope you enjoy the rest of the new stories.
