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.
And I suppose Fozzie, the Argyle Gargoyle, a frog with distinctive pupils, and Dr. Teeth just happened to sneak onto the first page of Darkwing Duck issue #2, eh?
I'm loving this art. Your art is good with the Muppets, but it shines in the DWD comic. You have that style down pat. And as a...
The rule is, no photography anywhere at all, except for one doorway. I think there are giant Pinnocchio legs or something there. Everywhere else, no way. (I'd get out my camera phone anyway if I could get the photos off it afterward.)
The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta has a lovely, permanent Henson exhibit. Many original puppets are there, including Kermit, Dr. Teeth, Ernie, Rowlf, Bugsy Them, Jim, Big Bird, Fraggles and Nativity Fraggle puppets, Link Hogthrob, Dr. Strangepork, a Skeksis, Sir Didymus, the La Choy...
The Count, thanks, I'm glad you liked this chapter. I haven't read the fanfic you mention, but it sounds as if that author and I are dipping from the same wells. I got the guitar-playing busker thing from It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas (Sheesh, could they have made that title a little...

The Busker
by Kim McFarland
It was a dark and stormy night. It had rained all day, which was not unusual in spring. Business had been good for The Cafe, a restaurant in a town so small that it could get away with a title that unimaginative. A passenger train had...
Wow, this takes me back. I was in high school in the '80s, and I was a Pac-fan. Had the cards and stickers and stuff, drew the characters, even made dolls of the characters. I never could play Pac-Man worth a flip; I kept getting surrounded in the two loop st the bottom of the maze. However...
I just recently realized that a voice I've been doing since high school sounds much like Baby Gonzo. If I lower it a bit it's a match. It's rough on my throat, so I'll have to practice it a bit more to get it firmly under control.
Since I make puppets and costumes anyway, now I'm tempted to...
Here's part 2 of this series. Hope you enjoy...

Boxcar Gonzo

The alarm buzzed softly. The boy opened his eyes to darkness and squinted at the clock. 3:00 AM. He pressed the button on the top of the clock to shut the alarm off.
Tired as he was, he got...
So, either 100x100 thumbnail or link, no regular-sized inline images? OK, thanks.
Here's an image of the kids:

Thanks, glad you liked it. I have another ep finished, and another nearly done. There are more scenes in my head after that...
Cluck Kent? I hadn't thought about that, but I see what you mean. I haven't seen much Star Trek, so I don't know about their field trips.
I have an...
I've been writing a series to try to give Gonzo a backstory. Given how many contradictions we've seen, it's impossible to tie everything together into one continuity, and I'm certainly not trying to lay out a definitive history. I'd break my brain if I tried. This is simply my version of what...
RedPiggy: Thanks! It's fun to write warm, fuzzy scenes, especially with Muppets who are fuzzy and, we assume, warm.
redBoobergurl: Glad you liked the story! I didn't notice that Camilla was missing the first time I saw it, which was surprising, as I'm a flamin' Gonzo-Camilla 'shipper. I can...
The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta has a sweet Henson exhibit. There are examples of every phase of his career and the company he started, starting with Sam and Friends and continuing up to present-day projects. There's a video wall. There's one room dedicated just to Henson's...
I've found that doing decent impressions isn't only a matter of being able to mimic a voice and vocal mannerisms. It also involves acting. If you can act the part, put the personality behind the voice, then your impressions will sound much more real.
Myself, I can approximate a number of...
