Frogs on Kaiser Rolls 1975
Early FrogBurgers before the invention of the FrogBigMac on the poppy seeded bun.
FrogSub 1975
Frogs on rolls weren't enough so I started slicing whole loaves of French bread. I was now living in California to teach at UC Davis for the Bicentennial Year. This loaf was a press mold of a loaf of San Francisco made sour dough French bread.
Frogs on Rolls 1975
Before frogburgers came along, I put my frogs in fixings on these unseeded rolls. Like the bagels, they were sliced when half dry and then the fixings were put on. As in all the frogfood, nothing is hollow, everything is solid, just the way it should be. These are life sized.
FrogSub without Cheese 1976
While in California, I had two bake sales during December of 1975, one at the Candy Store Gallery in Folsom and the other in the Hansen-Fuller Gallery in San Francisco. All these early rolls, subs, candies, and other frogfood items were made for these bake sales.
FrogBurger with Cheese 1977
The first burger, often called a FrogBigMac.
FrogHotdog 1978
A bun was made and when sufficiently stiff, it was sliced in half, and then the frog and fixings were added. Frogfood always looks best when you pretend you are a real cook with real ingredients and proceed to make your treat.
FrogTaco 1978
One of the three FrogMexican foods. A taco shell was made and allowed to stiffen, then a frog was added along with a big dollop of wet clay slip. Then beans, olives, tomatoes or lettuce could be added. To top it all off, leather hard clay was grated onto the top. The glaze really helps it all stay together.
White Bread Sandwiches
While I don't personally eat whitebread sandwiches, especially with frogs, I have never found a good way to make whole wheat bread. And I don't plan to continue the search. I've just broken up my bread mold and I don't plan to ever make another.
Two FrogSub with Bacon 1977
Frogs on Rolls 1976
A very common example of FrogArt. Many frogs would make themselves into rolls on weekends and then have these ceramic snapshots made to remind them of their artistic gesture of the moment.
Tall Stack 1976
An excessive Frog on Roll, the forunner of the Frog Dagwood Sandwich of later years.
Sub Sub 1979
Low puns are inevitable and always appreciated by the "Funk Artist". I had made lots of things in tubs, floating things and bathing things, but this pun was so ultimate that it ended the series!
