I don't mean to get nitpicky, and I'm not doubting that he's a real Fozzie, but even taking into account that the foam in his nose seems to have disintegrated, he doesn't look like a first season Fozzie to me. First season Fozzie had those big fabric folds at the corners of his mouth, which...

Sorry, this just reinforces my opinion from when I saw it in person at the Con. I hate the way Kermit, Bunsen and especially Gonzo look. (I thought Gonzo looked like a bird before I read Frogboy's comment). The others I just don't like. This gives true meaning to the old adage "Don't judge...

Yikes! That Fozzie is freaky! Was that a prototype that was never screen used? Fozzie never had a nose with nostrils, at least that I ever recall. :p

Actually, there are two official pantone colors for Gonzo's nose. The one that is essentially blue goes on the "snout" part (the section that actually sticks out from his face) and the other one, which a purplish color, goes everywhere else that is exposed foam (except his lower lip, of course...

Thank you all so much for taking the time to write and for the lovely sentiments! You've helped make this a special day! :p

All the props, costumes and vehicles from The Muppet Movie were auctioned off in a public auction about 6 months after the film came out. I got three puppeteer chairs with tilting backs and casters that were used during filming. I paid $90 for them ($30 apiece). A friend of mine got the trick...

Very cool! That's great to know. Thanks! :p

Hi Coco, Welcome to the board! Do you know what's become of Burr's puppets? Are they in a museum or something? Was Once Ernie :p

I searched all over the internet one day and couldn't find anything from it. The only mention of it on Boom Studios website is a picture of someone's homemade Kermit puppet holding it up in his mouth, but then you can only see the cover, which is a photograph. I don't even know when the...

Sorry, I was bashing it based on actually SEEING it. I didn't like the artwork in it. Everyone else is entitled to their own opinion when it actually comes out, but I wasn't speculating. I saw it. I didn't read it, so I'll reserve comment on the writing, however. :p

It's definitely in the planning stages. Dave Goelz mentioned it to me at Comic-Con. Whether or not it will actually get shot or what the plot is, I don't know. :p

To cross pollinate a thread... Why can't the comic book art look like these drawings? :p

I searched and I searched and I couldn't find anything on the internet showing the art from the preview book. Even the Boom Studios sight doesn't mention it, except for a picture of someone's homemade Kermit puppet holding a copy of the book so you can see the cover, which is a photograph...

Wow, I only kinda glanced at it, but I'd say it looked kinda similar to the Fozzie Bear drawing in that link, only maybe even a bit weirder. Not so much like the "Pigs in Space" drawing. I remember Kermit being especially odd-looking, in a sort of underground comics style, with his head all...

I saw the preview book at Comic-Con and I'm sorry to say I hated the artwork. They wanted $5 for a small preview book, so I didn't buy it, otherwise I'd scan a page and show it to you. I wish they had gotten Dave Alvarez to draw it. He was doing some Muppet comic strips on his own and I...

You are absolutely right about the kids on Barney. I always thought Sesame Street had a knack for finding "real" kids, while Barney had these phony show-biz kids that completely overacted. :p

That's the way they all act on those tween shows. Notice the "performance" of the character "London". That kind of way-over-the-top overacting just drives me up the wall. It makes Jim Carrey look positively subtle by comparison. I don't even know where this style first cropped up. It...

Ah, I was wondering if anyone was going to bring this up. That was my first reaction. The direction on this show was terrible. Obviously by someone who had never directed a puppet show. The cuts were so quick, you couldn't even see the puppets. (Well, what can you expect from a director...

The real Cookie Monster's eyes are put on with tiny screws. When you see him in person, if you look very closely, you can see the slot in the screw. But if pins work, then there you go! :p

I don't have one, but I've seen them. I'd be afraid a lint roller would pull off the flocking. A swiffer might work, or an air can to just blow the dust off. :p
