Janken: (Singing) "There's a radish 'cause you kept repeating that your love was true, A beetroot for the time I said that I'd beetroot to you. Some shallots for the time I said I love you such shallot-- Some capers to remind me of what up to which we got. A turnip for the way you always used to...

Oh, the veggie puns are going to get a lot more esoteric than that. I hope people know what artichokes are...

It makes me very happy to see that Disney is investing the time and money to rebuild minor characters like Thog. So far, all the hints and things I've seen have given me a lot of hope.

I can't speak about BTAS, me being the kind of person who is bored silly by superheroes. I tend to look at anything involving the deeper workings of the mind, particularly dysfunctions, in a very clinical way. Sometimes I have to throttle back on that when writing Muppet fic, heh. That's why...

Cool, I'll check those out. Thanks!

In the idea I was playing with, Boober finds The Runt and leads him out of the darkness. Who is this? Boober doesn't want to tell Sidebottom, but Sidebottom persists. And soon regrets it when he finds out what a sad tale it is. Sidebottom doesn't do depressing, fun is his specialty! Boober...

The Runt: I originally planned to give this story a framing sequence. Sidebottom discovers, far back in the cavern of Boober's mind, a second alter ego, a silent child. This turns out to be The Runt, custodian of Boober's past grief and fear. I decided against it because Boober doesn't need...

redBoobergurl: Cool, someone actually read the whole silly thing! ;) Glad you liked it. Boober does deserve some love. He gets at least some in my later fics, if this is any indication. What is your story? I'd be interested in seeing how other people handled the future of the F5. I'd...

Runt Part 4: Safety By Kim McFarland ***** Matt led the small Fraggle into the Great Hall. It had taken them some time to get there, not because they had been very far away, but because Matt navigated by instinct rather than maps. Hs instincts always led him true, but often by long...

Heh, when you follow that logic, I guess it is pretty obvious. What can I say, I like taking quirky oddballs and giving them depressing backstories. Hmm, wonder what traumas are in Bunsen's background? Here comes the fourth chapter. There may be a fifth; something occurred to me last night.

Li'l Boober as he appears in (yawn) Runt. He's a little sensitive about those ingrown eyeballs of his. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to snitch his hat. He may be a weird-looking little kid, but check out that baloobius!

Boober as the baby in the film Eraserhead. It's a visual gag, based on how much the doll resembles that, er, character. The film is very surreal, bizarre, freaky, and also weird. To give you an idea of what kind of lasting impression it leaves, I took a friend to see it, and for a year...

Eraserboober: I bought a Boober plushie, planning to use him as a base for a custom doll, but when I got him this was the first thing I thought of. Good old-fashioned nightmare fuel. Note: This has nothing to do with Runt, thank heavens.

Runt Part 3 of 4: Trial of Tears By Kim McFarland ***** A small Fraggle wandered through the tunnels. He was old enough to have traveled alone through the caves near his colony's home. Now he was farther out than he had ever gone before. The tunnels were unfamiliar, and for all he...

Heh, thanks! I was wondering if it was obvious in the first chapter who this would be. I deliberately omitted any mention of color--it's hard to see correct colors by firelight, that's my excuse--and I haven't posted any of the pictures because they would be spoilers. Anyway, I'm glad...

Runt Part 2 of 4: Luck By Kim McFarland ***** It was late winter. The worst had passed, and although it was still cold and there was very little food to be had a sense of cheerful anticipation was spreading through the Fraggle colony, triggered by the sound of dripping water. The thaw...

Runt Part 1 of 4: Winter's Fraggle By Kim McFarland ***** In a small, dark cave, little more than a nook, flames danced in a fire bowl, illuminating the room with a flickering orange light. The fire bowl was made of clay, as wide as a Fraggle was tall and waist high. Inside, resting on...

Belfrya, heh. I get it. :) One thing I've been wondering about: how does the style of arms and legs I've been drawing on the Fraggles look? I like drawing limbs with a bit of shape, which is definitely different from the puppets, but simple tubelike limbs look blah to me. I like to...

The Count: Exactly, Penny Dreadful is more or less a Muppet Elvira, with a touch of Divine. Gonzo's Hobbit: Don't be sorry for Sidebottom. You're right on the nose; he shows up when Boober has been starving himself of fun. When Sidebottom doesn't make himself known, it's because he's...

Cool! One more follower! Soon I shall be able to take over the world! </OrsonWelles> "You Haven't Needed Me..." I wrote two chapters of Runt today, after which I did an illustration that has nothing to do with that story, or any other for that matter. Just playing with ideas. As of the...
