In the confusion of the balloon dropping, Kermit does say "Whhaaaaaalookoutbelow!!!" in one long crammed together word, so I think that's where you're getting "Wocka Wocka" from.

Similarities to what?

Yeah, he was the best thing on that show. After the sensory overdrive provided by Bridget and Flav, Dave was a much needed dose of mellow goodness, y'know?

All I want to say is thank you for introducing me to a new word. Anathema will be my latest conquest at dictionary.com.

Whew! Thanks for the clarification. I was afraid we'd be having to notify his next of Kimp! (Insert sarcastic heckling from Statler and Waldorf here).

Wow. I dig your thoughts, Kimp, but watch out for irate replies from hard-core Muppet Babies fans. They don't take such dissention lightly. For the record, I was a "Babies" fan from their cameo in The Muppets Take Manhattan 'til the end of their run on TV, and whenever I need a fix these days...

I guess in jumping the shark terms, Muppet Babies took the leap once they brought Janice aboard as a pre-teenager and Statler and Waldorf as uncles. I think it's just a coincidence, but the downward spiral came after Howie Mandell left and Dave Coulier came aboard.

Well, after he hit it big with Full House, Dave co-hosted the America's Funniest Home Videos spin-off, America's Funniest People. That lasted a few years. Since then, he hasn't done too much that's caught the public attention that Full House did, but he's still working.

I know, that show rocked.

I've posted my artwork here on several occassions, but based on the suggestion of the ever-cool moderator Fozzie Bear, I'm actually posting a link to my website. On it you can find comic strips, comic books, commercial art, greeting cards, a photo gallery, caricatures, children's books and a lot...

Wow! Thanks for the professional shout out, Fozzie Bear (ironically, my pen name has been The Foz since the sixth grade). You're the man...er...bear!

Correct on both counts. Dave did a lot of voice work before his days on Full House. He started off voicing Mork on the old (and very brief) Mork and Mindy cartoon. Once Full House hit, he became an even hotter commodity in voice work with Muppet Babies (replacing Howie Mandell who left the show...

Thank you, Fozzie Bear. I'll follow your advice.

Please don't misunderstand me, I don't equate genius with "naughtiness" at all. I think the Muppets have always been works of sheer genius, no matter the decade, and it wasn't anything edgy that made them that way. All I was trying to say at the beginning of this thread was that Crank Yankers...

Good joke, muh man. Thank you for the info on the Greg the Bunny movie. I missed out on the TV series entirely, so this'll be a great opportunity to see what I was missing.

Believe me, I agree. Crank Yankers can't hold a candle to Sam and friends. All I'm saying is that if a modern comparison had to be made (and admittedly, it didn't need to be), I see Crank Yankers as the closest thing, for better or for worse. Ideally, the Muppets will pull something really fresh...

Here's my thoughts. Take 'em with not a grain but a two pound bag of salt, for they are only thoughts. When the Muppets premeried by in 1955 on Sam and Friends, I think it's safe to say they were, for the time, edgy. They were kind of violent, and definitely had a wild, going-against-the-grain...

If anyone's interested, there's a puppetry troupe (marionette, specifically) out of Detroit called The Geppettofiles. I haven't seen them perform, but I guess, as their title suggests, their pretty raunchy. Here's a link to their site: http://quicktofly.tripod.com/

I appreciate the attention given to my cartoon by everyone. But I also apologize for digging up a three year old topic. I hope I haven't stirred everyone up unnecessarily. More than anything I just wanted to share my Muppet-oriented artwork.

When the news broke back in 2002 that an HIV afflicted Muppet would appear in the South African production of Sesame Street, I was working as a staff cartoonist for a couple college newspapers in Michigan. A friend of mine who was editor on one of the papers told me he was going to write an...
