There are few cartoon characters with a history as strange, short-lived, and oddly profound as Michigan J. Frog. He’s the top-hatted, cane-swinging amphibian with a voice that could fill an opera house and an attitude straight out of vaudeville. Though he only starred in a single classic cartoon, this frog left an outsized impression on animation history—and even became the face of an entire television network.
