This, of course, is a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I’m thinking specifically of a line from the theme song used in the cartoon that started back in 1987 and ran for 10 seasons. I’m not sure if the line “heroes in a half shell” occurred in other variations (later cartoon incarnations, the original comic book series?) but if you caught any of TMNT for that 10 year span, you’ve heard the line.
The Brick Side: a web-comic for middle-aged, over-weight, karate-movie-watching frogs. And you!

I think you need to rename the theme, I count 14 frogs. And when my nephew was aboot 2 it took a stuffed ninja turtle’s strength to hold him down so he would stay in his bed and go to sleep.
@Siabur Nice. 14? I usually have an extra frog or 2 on hand when setting up shots in case I lose one while setting it up (has happened). Unfortunately, sometimes I get an extra one in there. Sounds like it might be a fun statistic to go back through all the 13 Frogs theme and see if my average number of frogs is closer to 13 than to 12 or 14. Then I could rename it the 13.125 Frogs.
You know friends do stop by once and a while. Maybe distant realitive is in town?
@Siabur. Good point. Why didn’t I think of that? Something like this, “14 Frogs? Well, of course, Spartacus’s mother-in-law’s cousin’s uncle twice-removed happened to be in town and got in the shot for old times’ sake.”
