wow thanks for the first ever kermit

That's not even the first Kermit. If you want to see the real first Kermit, here is a link to a story I posted on my weblog:

The First Kermit

Scroll down to the picture of Kermit and Sam that is "signed". The way you can tell the first Kermit from the one in the picture at the top of the article is that the original Kermit, made from Jim's mother's coat, isn't fuzzy. The texture of the material is smoother.

It's amazing the first Kermit has lasted so long. Guess that coat was made quite sturdily.

No they actually wrote that Wilkins' voice sounds like Kermit's, not that the puppet is Kermit.
