Why is the last word of the cartoon spelled incorrectly?

• The cartoonist made a mistake.

• It is to show that the frog can't spell or talk properly since he is not human.

• It is a pun or play on words, by having the word 'toad' in it.

• He is nervous because of the women, so he speaks incorrectly.

• The author wants us to fix this mistake,
