It was part of the photo guide of the DVD's bonus features.

Oh yeah I've heard of that book, is it any good?

That's an awesome picture, MBM, thanks for posting it! I'd never seen it before either.

Anytime Skye. ^_^

Any other photos of Richard there? Sweet.

The book...eh. The puppets are pretty much for kids to make, like shoeboxes and spoons and stuff. No foam. But it's pretty nice.

I believe there's two other photos, one where he's holding up Charlie Muskrat and the other can actually be found here, don't know if you saw it before, of Richard acting "nutty" with the squirrels:

There's brief video footage of him in the credits of the behind the scenes documentary of Emmet Otter. The performers are in a line with their characters filming a scene. It's hard to tell why, but at one point Richard gets out of the line, ducks under the camera,and goes to the other side. Then it cuts to a few seconds later when he's getting back in the line. You can't really tell what's going on, but maybe they were just testing the camera and perspective.

OMG! The Muppets - A Celebration of 30 Years! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend! Find out what Scooter's favorite part of Muppets is!

Hah thanks so much for posting that picture it's great. ^_^

Ooooh. Interesting video. How do you find these things? Awesome. You know if they show the Muppeteers?

In the 30th Anniversary special? No it's purely a Muppet affair (except for a cameo by Jim at the end, so cute!) I used to have this on tape years ago from Nickelodeon. Ugh, WHY did I tape it over?

Yeah I love that picture too, lol, no problem!

At one point, I think Kermit said, "I don't know who this Jim Henson guy is, but I know he's had his hand in a lot of things around here." Great, great line.

It's a lot of fun to see the characters from all the Muppet productions mingling with one another - but were the Gorch puppets invited?

That's a good photo you posted, MBM. Richard is clearly enjoying himself there - and he and the others look very ninja-esque, peering out of the trenches in their black hoods and tunics.

And you know, I've always wondered something - whenever the team did a sketch involving rabbits, did they ever start reciting the "Killer Rabbit" sketch from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail?"

Yeah the sheer amount of characters in the special is astonishing! And I love all the old footage like commercials and Sam and Friends. Even when I was little I found that fascintating (and any behind the scenes stuff).

R: Uncle Kermit, what's your favorite part about the Muppets?
K: Well you know, Robin, there are times when the Muppets aren't funny.
R: Yeah but I always figure that's the writers' fault!
K: Heh, well I really mean the times where we don't try to be just funny...
R: Ohhhh
K: And I think maybe those are my favorite parts (He sounds like Jim there to me)

And the Monster/Eating/Explosion montage, crazy! And the big ending, they weren't afraid to be corny and meaningful in a good way.

Yeah I don't think the Gorch characters are there, or maybe I haven't seen them yet. Are they owned by someone else? ::shrugs:: Poor guys, where's the love for adult-oriented Muppets? Hehe

Hehehe, "What behind the rabbit? It IS the rabbit!"

Oh, can't you just see that happening on the set of TMS?

And I'd visualize them using the psychopathic-looking Bun-Bun Brother puppets - I think they appeared in season 4, but I'd have to check.

Jim: (to Richard Holloway): Of course, we could try...

(blood-curdling scream comes from the Muppet trench, along with panicked cries of "Run away! Run away!")

(Jim goes to investigate)

Jim: (chuckle) Boys, stop attacking each other with the rabbits.
Steve: Oh, man, I didn't get to attack anyone!
Richard: Yeah, and we haven't done the Holy Hand Grenade yet!
Dave: That's right...can I be the one to throw it?
Jim: Later, all right?
(the others toss the puppets aside and head off)
Jerry: (gruff Scottish brogue) I warned them but oh, no, oh it's just a harmless little bunny...
