That's right, folks.  In response to a flood of requests SmedleyCorp™ will soon release FrogTogs™, a new line of clothing inspired by Froggy the Gremlin's personal style.  Froggy has been involved in the design process every step of the way.  Said the rubber gremlin, "Hiya, kids, hiya, hiya.  SmedleyCorp™ has really hit the mark on this one.  Kids young and old have long known what I've always said, "I'm so pretty, I am, I am."  I've gotten together with them to bring you FrogTogs™.  We're proud of the line.  SmedleyCorp™ has built quality in at every step of the manufacturing process. It features the well known jacket, vest, shirt, gloves, and shoes you've all come to love." 

Look for FrogTogs™ at your favorite mass market retailer.

cool, do they come in plus sizes too??
I'll buy your FrogTogs if you buy one of my hammocks. Only 89.95 plus shipping.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Sep 21, 2007, 8:22pm EDT
The local SprawlMart just made FrogTogs™ a greenlight special! Hurry! Supplies are limited! Only 100,000,000 pairs of gloves left!

If you're lucky, a prince would turn into Nippy. No prince is as cool as he is, except for maybe Prince.
Did that make any sense? It did before I wrote it...
Anything has to be better than Gatherwear, and this seems way better.
The prince thing: You're welcome to try. Others have failed but that doesn't mean it won't work for you. A kiss on the cheek is fine. You're welcome to try other methods but I don't believe they'll get different results.

Ina, could we work out some kind of barter deal? I think we could get Froggy to endorse your hammock line.

Just in time for the Christmas shopping frenzy - perfect!
Oh, Kris, I don't wear much purple. He plays the guitar better than I do and has more hair. It's easier than a lot of people think to tell us apart.
JaZilla, The Store Sep 21, 2007, 8:55pm EDT
Does the double-breasted vest come in my size, in black?
SmedleyCorp™ will soon have a comprehensive size chart available. We can guarantee that most species of mammals, many reptiles, and (of course) amphibians will be able to buy these garments off the rack. If the line takes off made to order may become possible.
Madame Donna C. Sep 21, 2007, 8:59pm EDT
You will be hearing from my attorney about this one.
Layla Morgan Wilde Sep 21, 2007, 9:17pm EDT
I'll take a dozen. Do they fit cats?
Lydia O. Sep 21, 2007, 9:32pm EDT
I want the shoes. My feeties get so damp in the morning dew...can I get a discount if I buy two pair? :)
Lydia O. Sep 21, 2007, 9:33pm EDT
you know, the jacket IS in my color...give me two of those, too.
Jo C. Sep 21, 2007, 9:45pm EDT
I like the vest. Does it come only in red? Also, how do you get your tongue that particular shade of red? Do you use tonguesticks? My son has told me about these but i thought it was just a rumor - unisex tongue makeup. I'm sure you'd know whether it is truth or rumour.
Michael the #2 Ninja Kitteh Sep 21, 2007, 9:51pm EDT
I like the FrogTogs but I am concerned that you may be sending the wrong message to impressionable children. My understanding is the tha lower button should never be fastened. Is this just for jackets, or are you promoting communism?

Additionally: one cannot but to help notice the size of your feet. Is it true wat they say?

If you would prefer to consume your satire unlabelled, don't forget to tell Gather about it by forwarding this article and all others on this subject to abuse@gather.com (because they're abusing satire), support@gather.com (because free-ranging humor deserves support) and feedback@gather.com--BECAUSE THEIR MICROPHONES SHOULD ONLY SHRIEK. This announcement brought to you by your owners at the Feline Minority Party!
Are these manufactured in Swabia?
Debbie G. Sep 21, 2007, 10:27pm EDT
A must have!!
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Sep 21, 2007, 11:00pm EDT
Question!

Will Frog Togs work for lizards? We have precious little frogs here but, lots and LOTS of lizards...
Erin P. Sep 21, 2007, 11:04pm EDT
Be careful about lead. I hear that's a real problem in the marketplace nowadays. And will these be made domestically or overseas? That could make a difference in their popularity, you know. HA, Americans just don't go buy frog-themed items without first making sure they're supporting their own! Oh, they do? Well, then, carry on.
Jo C. Sep 21, 2007, 11:19pm EDT
This has nothing to do with the topic but I thought it might brighten someone's day to know that one of my articles was actually at number 7 yesterday, one about Goodwill opening "books only" stores, also know by some as "bookstores". As a sometime bookseller (no, I'm not posting a link), I had some opinions. Apparently, it got some attention.

So articles can make it close to the top of the Gather "Most read" list. Anyway, I was heartened.
Jo C. Sep 21, 2007, 11:20pm EDT
Does that count as threadjacking?I read every word of your article and hope I learned the right way to do it. If not, tips would be appreciated.
Erin P. Sep 21, 2007, 11:53pm EDT
I have NO idea what "threadjacking" means. Someone spill it.
Eliza C Sep 22, 2007, 12:00am EDT
the frog looks a little bit like Wind in the Willows to me.........

hope Smedleycorp is ready for a Disney lawsuit.
Lydia O. Sep 22, 2007, 12:07am EDT
Erin, threadjacking is taking over someone's thread to talk about something else. Nippy wrote THE definitive article on it--I appeared as Featured Muse. There's a link to it on one of Jane's articles. :)
Erin P. Sep 22, 2007, 12:20am EDT
Thanks ever so much. I greatly appreciate your help. I will have to go check that out.

In all fairness, though, some people lack the ability to stay on topic. Don't hate us because our brains are moving too fast and we like to share. :)
Jo C. Sep 22, 2007, 3:42am EDT
Another off-topic comment: Thanks for posting a comment on my article about our sick cat. It was truly a comfort. I know I can't change a thing about the situation except hope she pulls through this strange ailment.
Aniko   Sep 22, 2007, 4:42am EDT
Sleek, classic ensemble. A true gentleman's choice.
Marilyn M. Sep 22, 2007, 7:48am EDT
Back on topic. Are these frog togs made of plastic? I think that would be such a cool look.
Lydia O. Sep 22, 2007, 7:58am EDT
I think that's an excellent question--and if they're plastic, are they stretchy plastic? Because that's going to be important for those of us who are quadripedal. I would like plastic for winter, I think. It's warmer, and it cuts the wind and precipitation.
Ada D. Sep 22, 2007, 9:32am EDT
Is the coat made of threadjacking?

I'll have to hop on over to the MassMarketStore and check these out.
Muffy Westheimer Sep 22, 2007, 10:03am EDT
I'll take one of those red ones. Who knew that Gather was a place to buy outfits?
Wally Stevens Sep 22, 2007, 10:35am EDT
I note the four digit, three fingered gloves. They look uncomfortable. But the rest of the line--mahvelous!

Somedays even Big Guy Boxers are too constricting. Your look seems even more open.
Ada D. Sep 22, 2007, 10:57am EDT
"More open" as in the total lack of pants made popular by the Disney/Donald Duck mode of (un)dress? I can see how that would be popular with the guys, at least in warm weather.
Dan Walter Sep 22, 2007, 12:27pm EDT
That's GREAT NEWS!

I wonder what I can get for this Hobbit?

If I were a rich frog...

It is cute, but not my cup of tea.

Sara S. Sep 22, 2007, 4:03pm EDT
Would it be possible to custom design a FrogTog evening gown? It would be just the thing to allow me to outshine Ursi at this years Swabian Snobbery Ball.
Our design and marketing teams have been meeting to discuss new products. Of course Froggy is involved. Exciting things are on the horizon.

People say I look like a frog. Weird face, big stomach, skinny legs. I guess I'm in.
DIANE D. Jan 3, 2008, 10:56am EST
LOVE IT!
