Spot the Frog daily strip sample

Spot the Frog is a charming comic strip that welcomes readers into the sweetly funny, beautifully drawn world of a lovable little frog and the two-legged mammals who fascinate him. Created by Mark Heath, Spot the Frog appears in newspapers worldwide, including the Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press and Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

In Spot the Frog, readers learn what Spot already knows: that life is a glass that's always half full. And, if you're a small green frog, that's just the right size for a dip. Spot is an exuberant frog who sees a sink full of dirty dishes as a pond to splash in, and a lamp as something to bask under. Karl, Spot's human friend, is a laid-back guy who looks out for Spot in a grandfatherly way. Karl is thoughtful and accepting as you'd have to be to welcome a frog into your home.

"Many comic strips feature edgy characters", says Heath. "Spot the Frog is more whimsical, with a sense of the fantastic. It's about innocence and wisdom and the complete appreciation of what you have". Heath was born in 1960 in New Hampshire. He has worked in restaurants and retail stores, motels and a cabinet factory. He sold his first cartoon in the early 1980s, and his second several years later. Since then, his pace has improved. Heath is a freelance cartoonist, science fiction writer and greeting card designer. He is the author of Drawing Cartoons (North Light Books, 1998). Heath lives in Rhode Island.
