Before the internet had a frog, a kid stacked green bricks and a red scarf. That build is the first frog tied to Matt Furie.

$FROG
The first frog associated with Matt Furie. Built in 1984. Seen again in Feels Good Man. Pepe and Toad came later.
FROG 1984It was never Pepe or Toad first.
This is the animal: brick-built, scarf on, pond-born. A real frog from Matt Furie's world — before Pepe, before Toad. The photo is the proof. The ticker is $FROG.
Movie proof
Seen again in Feels Good Man.
Video proof: Matt Furie stood next to The Lego Frog in his movie Feels Good Man. Same frog. Same scarf. Same origin.
Then Pepe and Toad
Pepe and Toad took the world. Fine. They still were not first. The Lego Frog was already in the room, staring down the lens.
The photo returns
Matt stood next to The Lego Frog again on film. The prototype hopped back. $FROG is that animal, on-chain.
