About Frog
Frog was a writer and street vendor.
David Henry Miller (died November 2, 2024), better known by the nickname Frog, was an American writer and street vendor of self-published joke books in Eugene, Oregon.
Frog was originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, and was educated at Ohio University for two years before dropping out. He became well known in the local community for selling his books at the Eugene Saturday Market, the Holiday Market, the WOW Hall, the Oregon Country Fair, and on 13th Avenue. He wrote over 100 books and charged $3 for his adult joke books and $2 for his children's joke books. He was sociable with customers and was known for his marketing pitch phrase, "Have you ever seen the greatest joke book the world has ever known?". He wore a sign advertising his books and was accompanied by a rubber chicken named Squeeze that he allowed passerby to squeeze for free. Frog became a community icon in Eugene. He was voted by readers of Eugene Weekly as "Best Rabblerouser" in 2018. He was also voted as the "Best Local Visionary" in 2022. Several of his books are held in the Lane County History Museum. He died on November 2, 2024, at 76 years old. A plaque honoring his memory was installed on 13th Avenue on November 2, 2025.
