I wasn't sure if I was going to post this picture or not, but here's a tribute drawing to Jerry Nelson of Marsupilami and Maurice meeting the Count. It's made by BuddyBoy600.

Wow! That is a cool picture! I do remember that when I saw "Manny's Land of Carpets" a few more times earlier this summer, I recognize Jerry Nelson's voice when he announces Bubba's Burger Barn, Manny's Land of Carpets (sort of), and other things. LOL! Okay, so he is a silly creature but gosh I really know that voice. He will be missed!

A haiku from the S.H.E. :

Country folk singer
Musician to the Muppets
Rocker to the core!

The one underlined is meant to be screamed.

Perfect description of Jerry, covering all aspects of his music and personality in three short lines. You're great at these.

I read this blog almost every day but never posted until now. I wanted to post this news before someone else does. Like everyone else i was very sad to learn about Jerry' Nelson's passing. But its great how many tributes there are out there to him right now. I found a very starnge one on a comic I read called "The Lost Side Suburbia" on GoComics. It is also a childrens book series and I bought two of the book on kindle last month. In the current story on GoComics Jerry Nelson appears as a kind man who is helping the main characters fight an evil thing called the bogey. It even mentions his daughter Christine and has lots of other muppet mentions. The Jerry Nelson character actually appeared before the realife Jerry Nelson even died. The author must be a muppet fan because I read two of the earlier books and there were muppet mentions like Fozzie being in jail with other comedians.
