Papa Piper's Day


Sam Hell (Roddy Piper) is forced to father kids in Hell Comes To Frogtown (1988).
Human kids that is, but the frog Arabella (Kristi Somers) wants him to fertilize her.


Gluey from Face Like A Frog (1987) may have been the inspiration for her.


I'm surprised Frogtown wasn't mentioned in A&E's recent Biography of Roddy.
They Live (1988) was and they said he wrote his famous bubblegum line from it.
Speaking of which, I got this figure of Roddy as John Nada made by NECA here:


In real life Roddy was a proud papa of four kids.
He even made his son Colt a main character in this comic book:


Sadly it's out of print, but this newer comic starring Roddy is available here:


Roddy was wrestling's #1 villain, but he was a good guy in real life.
These quotes from his Biography prove it:

"Best part of my job?
When you come with your daddy, and your mommy and you're all excited.
We can put a smile on a little boy's face -
that's the greatest reward a guy could ever have in his life."

"Any jerk can have a kid, it takes a man to be a dad."
