Well, ignoring the emotional tone for the moment, I am referring to your
frog that looks like mine, not to the whole comic. I have first
published Frogstein in a publicly verifyable way in January 1997, you
can verify that yourself in the dejanews archives.

Can you point me to accessible archives to prove that you drew that kind
of frog before me?

In spite of a call for evidence that I organized last year, there is no
earlier Frogstein, there was literally zero evidence brought forward,
and of particular importance, there was no independently verifyable
claim of an earlier Frogstein. (There was even an assertion from Colin D
who is particularly knowledgeable on the history of ascii art, that he
has never seen any of the 'steins before.)  But treat the above question
as a pure inquiry for the moment, I am sincerely interested.
