The Muppet Mindset

I had no idea it was Grover's birthday. I wish someone would've told me that before I wrote this article last night... Ah, well. I like this Muppet too.

Well... Remember my knowledge of these things comes from five years worth of running the dorms, plus Muppet Wiki's info.
So is okay misser Prawnidew.

Can you send these as MUP3's? Sure, I'd miss out on the visual gags, but at least I'd have the audio. And wasn't our fave fiend, that phantom dragon supposed to show up on the site/page as well? Although I do have to commend the Disney folks, taking a page out of their book (pardon the pun). This was probably inspired by the equally awesomely spooktacular Book of Spells boxset of 6 tarot card pins from their O-Pin Haunted House 2009 DLR Summer Festival event. Sure hope more clips are added though.

If I had them as MP3s I'd be glad to send them your way, Ed... but unfortunately I don't. I might be able to figure out a way to turn them into MP3s over the weekend... we shall see!

If I have time when I get home Count, I'll get them to ya'!

Thanks Shane. Would appreciate that, though I did get to listen to the clips thanks to a link Prawny posted in the Muppets.com thread.

BTW: If you have it, I'd also welcome the four individual birthdays mentioned by the Willard Scott Muppet when the Muppets took over the Today Show last year.
*Shameless nag to get one more for the 50 Muppet States album.

 

[Oscarfan]

I'll try to get that too.

I believe I am going to write an article for the Mindset. What to write about? I will have to make it good. It could count as my irst published work.

That was good. I have drawn some Muppet comics of my own. Some just one-page strips (sometimes using both sides of the paper), some longer comic books (though they are shorter than The Muppet Show Comic Book). Most of my self-made comic books are "The Muppet Show", using the same setting and format, and sometimes using only characters from the show (but then again, sometimes I use later characters, from JHH, MT, and others). I have also drawn a comic book much like The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, featuring characters from a variety of Henson productions in a big room. But usually if I draw my own Muppet comic I draw the characters from the waist up, rarely having them do things that would be too hard for the puppets to do without visual effects. And like The Muppet Show Comic Book, I usually draw opening two-page spreads, showcasing the opening archs (I think I did this even before the comic books were announced). But unlike the official comic books, I often have skecthes begin with Kermit or somebody else introduce the acts on-stage, I don't put sketch titles at the top of the pages, and these usually end with "goodnights" and comics of the orchestra, representing the closing. I feel that mine ar emore like the show itself, only without guest stars.

I'd like to show these someday, but can't. I don't have access to a scanner. I could put the pages up to my webcam and take pictures, but they might not turn out very well. Especially sicne they are only drawn in black and white.
