    Why Does Kevin Clash ave so little regualr muppet charcters?

    now that I re-read the release, this line does seem a bit un-henson: Kevin single-handedly created a phenomenon As no one, including Frank Oz, would ever take sole credit for ANYTHING. Usually, folks get to review this before it goes out, wonder if he did....
