Good manners are free. The frog’s patience may not be.

Ask Nicely features one magnificently unimpressed frog and a simple piece of questionable advice: “ASK NICELY. THE FROG MIGHT EXPLAIN.” Whether the frog actually knows the answer is irrelevant. Whether it feels like telling you is another matter entirely.

Rendered with the strange charm of an antique naturalist illustration, the oversized frog sits front and center with the expression of a creature that has seen enough, knows enough, and absolutely will not be rushed. It’s dry, weird, slightly threatening, and surprisingly relatable.

Created in the WOODCUT™ style of Hard Mode IRL, the design combines old-world engraved detail, aged ivory tones, and bold vintage typography for something that could have been pulled from a forgotten book of questionable folk wisdom.
