    In February, 2009, Blade editorial cartoonist Kirk Walters launched Frogtown.

    Frogtown is a slice-of-life cartoon about the little things in life. It features a down-on-his-luck father, Scooter McFlak, who recently lost his job, his marriage, and his home. Scooter decides to pack up his belongings and move with his son, Mikey, out of Miami and back to his hometown of Toledo to live with his father, Jack McFlak. 

    When Scooter and Mikey show up at Jack’s door life changes for everyone in funny and sometimes touching ways.
