Froggy Ball Explained

Froggy Ball (sv|Grodan Boll) is a character from Kalle Stropp och Grodan Boll which is a series of Swedish books, radio shows and movies created by Thomas Funck. He first appeared in a radio show in 1954. The character disappeared around the early 1960s, but made a comeback in 1971 in his second radio show named "Veckans tisdag" which is Swedish for "Weekly Tuesday".

Froggy Ball appeared in comic books from 1955-1960 which were drawn by Nils Egerbrandt.[1]

In the late 2010s, Froggy Ball became an internet meme. The character was appropriated as a symbol by the Swedish far-right in a way that is similar to how American comic character Pepe the Frog was appropriated by the alt-right movement.[2] [3]
