    Autograph authentication please

    I'm a little puzzled by the inclusion of Karen Prell. I believe that at that time she was working for Pixar, and the only character she performed that was eligible for a figure was Yolanda the Rat (in MTM).

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    Scooter is coming along. Rather, his wardrobe is. Lookit that jacket! Is that utterly snazzed-up or what? Even if it's pinned together because I haven't put the fastens on yet. Still to do: shoes, socks, and a belt of course. Gonna resize his tongue and throat because I made them too...

    Original Jim Henson creation..unused??

    Hmm...speaking from nothing more than a gut feeling, I'd be disinclined to believe that this was a Henson puppet. The face looks smushy and off-putting, and the eyes don't focus well. The fur doesn't seem to be neatly attached to the skin, and in this picture the fur looks haphazardly...

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    You're preaching to the choir. If course it would be good for them to release the rest of TMS! Thing is, the people in suits haven't seen fit to do so for whatever good or bad reasons they have. Sending a response to a web form (or signing an online petition, or E-mailing someone, or anything...

    Original Jim Henson creation..unused??

    You could paste in a link to the page showing your creature. I guarantee you'd get more response than asking people to jump through a bunch of hoops.

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    Ahh, slacktivism. Gotta love it. Disney is not your parents. You can't nag and nag and expect them to give you what you want. Disney is a business. They will release seasons 4 and 5 on DVD when and only when they think it's a good move. When it will have the greatest impact, promote the...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I saw it again today, and it occurred to me that the Baby Boss looks like an infant Danny Trejo.

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Pshttt. Gonzo has been with Camilla for decades. That biz about Gonzo dating multiple chickens (because he couldn't tell them apart) was left behind when TMS ended. They just wanted to spread the stereotype that featherosexuals are promiscuous.

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    Perfect? Get outta here! I've learned not to expect perfection from myself 'cause I won't get it. But I can do pretty darn good, which is what I'm shooting for here. If I can make a puppet that looks just like Scooter to all but the really intense Muppet nerds I'll be happy. At least I wanna...

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    Thanks! I've had so many false starts with this guy. I made 8 or 9 foam skulls before I got the shape right. His first pair of glasses used two halves of a ping-pong ball as lenses. I had to make another pair using a smaller "dome" for the eyeballs, as I didn't want him to look like he had...

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    Progress is happening... The puppet itself wasn't that difficult. The costume, however, is proving to be a beast. I thought it'd be simple altering a pair of toddler shorts for him. Hah! He ain't shaped quite the same. The shirt he has on is a tester, sewn out of some scrap I had on...

    Happy Birthday Slackbot!

    Thanks, guys! I haven't done anything birthdayish in real life, so seeing these greetings really brightens my day. My present to myself is...a week off work. Every year I take a week of vacation for my birthday. A whole week of sleeping in! Eee! And tomorrow I'm going to a showing of The...

    I love being able to make obscure references like that and having people get them right away. I don't love this: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/charming-and-review-proof.57570/

    Happy Birthday Slackbot!

    Thanks! When I checked my E-mail this morning I saw a note from my father, who is a symphonic musician, with an iPod movie attached. When I opened it up it was him playing Happy Birthday on a saxophone while wearing Groucho nose glasses. If you wondered where my odd sense of humor comes from...

    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Thanks, guys. Glad you liked it. The Count, do you really want me to revisit The World In Which Kermit Had Never Been Born? The two short stories I wrote in that continuity were pretty icky. I don't know that anything else I wrote in that continuity would be any more pleasant...

    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Growing Like a Weed By Kim McFarland ***** It was a warm spring morning. The gentle, even glow of the Ditzies suffused the caves and passages of Fraggle Rock. It would be hours before the Gorg Sun shone down the well and into the Fraggle pond. Janken Fraggle, hearing the sounds of morning...

    Happy Birthday Slackbot!

    Awww, thanks! Actually, my birthday is tomorrow; I got some birthday nummies today from coworkers because half the office is out on Fridays. I love peanut butter and chocolate! Bring it the heck on! As for my age, I'm 2E. I'm glad you like my fics! Keep yer eyes open; I just may post...
