What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a two-panel film-still edit in which a painted frog face has been pasted over a long-haired figure whose hands are raised in contemplation. The subtitles read "After all, why not?" and "Why shouldn't I tell my dudes that it is Wednesday?," riffing on the "it is Wednesday, my dudes" meme and on a frequently parodied film scene. The underlying film is not identified here. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
