Interviewer: So Professor Jenkins, you say frogs hear through their legs?
Professor: Yes, indeed they do, I’ve proven it through my experiment.
Interviewer: Could you describe your experiment, sir?
Professor: Why yes, of course. First, I placed the frog on the floor and clapped my hands, and the frog jumped. Then I cut off one of its hind legs and repeated the process, and again it jumped. Then I cut off its other hind leg, but this time when I clapped my hands, the frog did not jump. Therefore, prove positive that frogs must hear through their hind legs.
the original was a New Yorker cartoon with a frog on the board and humans looking at a menu – and the sign says “Try our frog legs” – https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=kmPsLS5M&id=3906B717190C20FA9AD77F5EB59CC0A71406A071&thid=OIP.kmPsLS5MnUEzSvjxb5pyQgHaIA&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fi.pinimg.com%2foriginals%2f67%2f62%2f49%2f67624952ec5e5028cb3320cb281bd01b.jpg&cdnurl=https%3a%2f%2fth.bing.com%2fth%2fid%2fR.9263ec2d2e4c9d41334af8f16f9a7242%3frik%3dcaAGFKfAnLVefw%26pid%3dImgRaw%26r%3d0&exph=1125&expw=1041&q=new+yorker+frog+leg+cartoon&simid=608028938163716571&FORM=IRPRST&ck=9271A6920D7A4B0074D360C9FF9D4690&selectedIndex=1&ajaxhist=0&ajaxserp=0

I feel like I should applaud myself for getting this one. Deep and meta.
Love the leaping waiter in the background!

A reversal of the classic NatLamp comic. Wonderful! I don’t remember seeing it in 2019.

Poor guy! He couldn’t object … he didn’t have a leg to stand on.

The frog waiter leaping in the background saves this macabre strip.
