Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
I wish the link weren't dead. I'd like to read this script. From the other comments it sounds like it wasn't very accurate in either detail or spirit, but I'd have liked to judge for myself.
And, heh, I love a good train wreck.
Heh, thanks. Boober's going to have to do another load of laundry after seeing that snowman.
Re Wembley's hair, Drawing it strand by strand would work if the inks were in color, but as it is it would make him a brunet. People would wonder if Convincing John had persuaded him to dye his...
Mewwy Cwistmas, little Fraggles! Or whatever Gorgs celebrate in the Winter. Junior Gorg gives the Fraggles a surprise. The big goof's heart is in the right place, though you'd have a hard time convincing Boober of that. This scene might take place soon after Trials and Tintinnabulations, or it...
Hmm... Boober has never shown disdain for food in any form; it just seems that he enjoys fine cookery. Perhaps he likes the challenge of making the perfect souffle. Sidebottom probably couldn't cook by himself because he doesn't carry any relevant mental baggage. (But when partially re-merged...
Actually, I do think of Boober/Sidebottom as a case of multiple personality. For one thing, they are co-conscious; both are aware at the same time, yet they think along separate tracks. Boober is not always aware of Sidebottom's presence; at the end of "Boober's Dream" he has to ask if...
*laughs* Actually, that explanation came to me pretty quickly. I'm one of these types who reads every issue National Geographic cover to cover twice. I can discuss genetics, physiology, environmental pressures and balance, and so on for hours. Retconning Fraggle peculiarities took very...
Thanks. And, yeah, Wembley does look a bit young. I tried aging him forward in sketches, and he stopped looking like himself. So I'm going to say he's got that Benny Hill quality; he'll always look boyish. Maybe he's there to counterbalance Mokey, who always looked middle-aged to me.
I have...
Wow, thanks! Heh, drawing Fraglings is fun.
Speaking of which, Pebble Pox Sucks. Janken's childhood memory from Trials and Tintinnabulations. Yeah, Janken used to suck his thumb. I won't tell if you won't.
Wembley would be a good parent, I think. He's no genius, but he's got a good...
Thanks, guys! I'll write more Fraggle stories if more come to me. That seems likely, as the characters really have come to life for me, and when that happens they tend to go on their merry way, having adventures and leaving me to write down what they do as fast as I can.
I'm a little...
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the story! Before writing this I watched the entire series beginning to end in the space of about a month, so it was fresh in my mind.
As for writing more, I never plan to, but then stories pop into my mind. At the moment I'm wembling on whether to finish Masks...
Trials and Tintinnabulations
Part 3: When Boober Howls

I've grown a little leaner
Grown a little colder
Grown a little sadder
Grown a little older
And I need a little angel

Trials and Tintinnabulations
Part 2: The Plague Fraggles

The next morning, when Janken awakened he wished he hadn't. His headache had intensified, and he felt weary and sore to the bone. He opened his eyes, then closed them again, wishing the world to go away...

It was a long Monday evening at the Muppet Theater. Over the weekend they had...
Hi ho. Here I am again, up way past my bedtime, posting my first Fraggle Rock fanfic. It's a three-parter, and I'll be posting it over three days, with the last chapter going up on the Winter Solstice. Which is probably a big giveaway as to what it's about.
A few program notes: this story...
Thanks! I normally concentrate on facial expressions, but I can't do that with these two. And, yeah, Sidebottom can be a bit of a brat, but he does have a valuable purpose: to give Boober a swift kick when he starts getting too repressed. :coy:
Yyyyyyep. :smirk:
The He-Man/She-Ra Christmas special is an amazing mess. One of Orko's pratfalls sends him to Earth in a rocket. He is found by a couple of children, all three return to Eternia, and they have adventures that make no sense at all with the "Manchines." The kids teach Orko about The Meaning of...
Awwwww.
A friend of mine, an animator for Squidbillies, animated his proposal and popped the question in person in synch with his cartoon self. This is at least that awesome.
