I'm Just a Little Guy

How to Escape the Horrors and Get Back to Dillydallying

  • Charlie James



Are you burned-out, exhausted, and tired of hustling? Do you ever want to throw your head back and scream “But I’m just a little guy!”?

Are you burned-out, exhausted, and tired of hustling? Do you ever want to throw your head back and scream “But I’m just a little guy!”?

In this adorably illustrated gift book based on comedian Charlie James’s viral “Little Frog” sketches, Paul Bog is here to show you a softer, sillier, sunnier way to be.

Meet Paul Bog the Small Frog. He’s just a little guy. He likes to frolic through the meadow, collect trinkets, and sunbathe in the nude. You should be more like Paul. Within these pages, Paul Bog walks you through a day in his life and shares advice on how to navigate modern existence, including:

  • Avoiding Burnout: “For every hour of work I do, I spend three hours staring at a still life painting.”
  • Finding a Therapist: “If you’ve already tried speaking directly into a wishing well to no avail, I suggest talking to a wise old owl or a professional therapist (interchangeable).”
  • Saving Money: “I cannot save money for the future. The future is too unknowable. I can, however, toss a little coin into a nearby wishing well and hope for the best.”
  • Anxiety: “My only advice for limiting anxiety is to spend fifty to ninety percent of your life supine near a large body of water.”

This hilarious and charming guide to the “little guy” lifestyle will inspire anyone who wants to slow down and muck around.
