Abstract

The single issue of the Bullfrog which was published no longer exists. It is purported to have been Summerside's first newspaper. Allegedly, the Bullfrog was a single sheet and only one issue of it was ever published because, following the first printing, a stranger walked into the printshop and sat down on the paper's only inkslab. He walked away with it sticking to his clothes; thus, no further issues of the Bullfrog could be produced. The Bullfrog was devoted to "literature, travel, fact, fiction, politics, geography, poetry, fun, history, art, fashion, romance, humor, wit, love, courtship, matrimony, or any other man".

Frequency: Unknown;

Date: Sometime in the 1850s
