I just saw the underwhelming version of Gonzo drawn by new Muppet comic book artist Langridge reported on the Muppet Newsflash. (Click here, he's in the O) I wanted to see how many artists here would interpret the character. Please feel free to post drawings past and present and even puppets...

They are kind of creepy aren't they? :D But seriously, my issue is more about balancing the creative freedom of the artist rather than giving a blank check to do whatever he wants. Someone mentioned on the other blog that it isn't evident that this guy even likes the Muppets very much. They...

There's a passionate debate going on over at Muppet Newsflash about the new comic book news for the Muppets. I will let you go over there and read the information for yourself, but I did doodle a little over the proposed art that was over there. Man, Gonzo is uuuuugly. I hope the artist goes...

...don't get me started on Happy Feet 2! It's funny how many people commented about Gonzo's "freaky thing for chickens" when I had the poser displayed in the store. It's something that everyone seems to know. I like that. :)

All chickens look alike to me. Does that make me an anti-poultrist (word I made up for another term that likely exists)? :o When I was a little boy my parents took me to a farm and a chicken pecked the twinkie I was eating right out of my hand! Evil chickens I tell ya! However I find...

Um...do you have her? I suppose the close-up photograph makes her appear unflatteringly porous, but anyone who's got this Piggy knows it's the best one they did and a fantastic one at that. In fact many fans wanted extra ones of her without the set. Palisades fought hard to get the Muppet...

If you are a fan of all things Muppet yet haven't been collecting their stuff for long I do suggest the action figures. Some of the characters will be very hard to find at a reasonable price like Zoot, but others are out there and are fantastic examples of the characters. Here is a picture taken...

Clifford is a Jim-era Muppet that first gained exposure in the Henson Hour television show in 1989. That will make him 20 years old next year! Many people consider the post Muppet Show characters to be new ones, but in perspective Pepe is on his way to 13. What makes old or new? I guess that's...

Why not just merge this thread with the many others on the issue? I still like their poster. I'm wondering what images from the film actually gave you nightmares? So you haven't actually seen the film? :confused:

Now I'm even more upset. How many new ways are they going to release the same material? :mad:

As stated and now restated: The copyright wouldn't transfer, but a company might find it difficult to collect payment or awarded damages from one company if they allow others to behave exactly the same way without consent and do not prosecute. The behavior of misuse of the material would very...

I dug him out and snapped a picture for a size comparison. Click here to see Gonzo and Rizzo together.

What you are referring to is a small 2-3 inch Muppet action figure from Palisades toys. That was an red and green industry Christmas exclusive one as well. That accounts for the expense. Here's a picture of the prototype. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Rizzo_Action_Figure and a better idea of what...

On the contrary, I think it is important to voice these issues now so that more Muppety content isn't released this way. Could you imagine Disney pulling a stunt like this with the last season of The Muppet Show on DVD? Feedback is important. Hit should be made aware of this situation. Still...

My Gonzo had Marty Feldman eyes, but it was such an easy and inexpensive fix. It is outlined in this site's Gonzo review, but basically you just scrape off his pupils with your fingernail, wipe up the excess adhesive with rubbing alcohol and replace them with your own black felt stickers. Sheets...

Could a deal have been struck before the convention. I just hope this presidency doesn't begin with a bunch of crummy hearings. :smirk:

I think he will probably choose a well-liked moderate Republican or two for lower-level cabinet positions. Any cabinet position is a big deal and it shows a cross-party willingness that has been missing for a while. I think McCain of years past would be a good fit, but I'm not sure about current...

I hope they understand why this is. It's this sort of marketing cynicism that is killing profits for these products. Sure, there's some quick cash, but there would be more in the long run with current and future offerings if Hit and others would just be level with their customers. There seems to...

I didn't say lose, just *weaken* or a copyright holder could have*less* of a case against an offender's *past deeds* if others were permitted usage during that time without legal consent or legal recourse. The person or company holding the copyright is the chief enforcer. A copyright holder...

There's now the Secretary of State position open. It seems like it will be either Bill Richardson or Hillary Clinton. I have always found Richardson an intriguing figure of the people instead of the usual brand-name politics where the politician steals the limelight from real issues and...
