Source – Long story short a mom in the UK ordered what she thought would be a Frog and Toad t-shirt for her 3 year old son. You know, just some wholesome, cute, literature based clothing with which to attire her offspring and perhaps spark in him a lifelong interest in reading. Nothing controversial or exciting about this situation right?… WRONG! What arrived in the mail was indeed a child size Frog and Toad shirt. However, the shirt also boldly stated “F*ck The Police” beneath the image of the two reptilian compadres of undefined friendship. Check out the photo below.
The shocked mother took things in stride and did what any good mom in the internet era would do: She put the shirt on her kid, snapped some pics, and immediately posted about it on Facebook. We here at WildCasa are glad she did because now we’ll forever have the silly image above to laugh about.
This situation made me realize that I have not thought about Frog and Toad in ages (since I was a little kid reading their books) and it led me to thinking about which character pairs would make up the Mount Rushmore of animated duos from my childhood. Here are my thoughts and feel free to chime in in the comments section with your top duos:
- Bert and Ernie – These OG’s from Sesame Street are a truly impressive duo. From famously singing about bathtime and rubber duckies to inexplicably remaining roommates for 20+ years without either dude ever getting his own place, these guys are legends.
- Marcy and Peppermint Patty – I have no definitive answer as to why Marcy calls Peppermint Patty “sir”. It’s very, very confusing.
- Linus and his blanket – That kid was a warrior for openly battling anxiety and depression way before it was socially acceptable. Shoutout to his blanket for always having his back – both literally and figuratively.
- Garfield and lasagna – Never forget that, as Lil Wayne so wisely taught us in his lyrics, “Real G’s move in silence like lasagna”.
