Froggy Mag

11th March 2006 marked the birth of a new magazine. The magazine that all Singaporeans and frogs should not miss.
















On this very 1st edition, we challenge all readers to play a very exciting game of spot the difference between the fake copy (on top) and the authentic one (below). There are 2 differences altogether.















Just in case you can't get the answers, we'll be generous (since it's our very first edition) and give you the answer anyway.

1. "OS" on the top left corner has been changed to "IS". This is sooooo obvious.

2. "It's frog" on the top right corner has been changed to "It's free". The words are pretty small, so this may prove to be a challenge.


Most probably by this time, you're wondering why call the magazine "OS" and labelled with a "it's frog". This has everything to do with its founder. Introducing..... ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention..... drumroll please..... Mr. Onion Sua!

As you can easily tell, O.S stands for our big boss' name. Before Mr. Sua joined the ranks of the working class, he was known simply as Mr. Sua. Upon graduation, he realised that not having an English name was to his disadvantage as most tend to remember English names more easily.

In order to establish himself, Mr. Sua thought very hard of a name for himself. He thought about it for several nights.

"Think... think... think... come on.......... Eureka! I shall call myself Garek!"

Pleased with himself, Garek went around telling his friends,

"From now on, I shall be known as Garek Sua."

His friends went, "Huh? Why call yourself Garlic?"

"No, not garlic you idiots. Garek!"

"We heard you the first time. If you wish to be called Garlic, so be it. Big deal."

"Argh! I give up! I shall think of another name."

"If you don't want to be Garlic, then what do you want to be? Onion?"

And thus the name Onion Sua was stuck.


As for answering the latter part of the question, Mr. O.S is actually a frog. Look carefully at the photo below if you can't figure out why.

Our very first cover issue "finding your frog" talks about finding your frog. To find out more, get yourself a copy and read it. It's free. I mean frog.

Coincidentally, 11th March is also the birthday of Mr. O.S. Naturally, this calls for a celebration.

Little did he know that the peach was stolen from the adjacent table, and a very angry patron was storming around in search of his missing dessert...
