[Beauregard]

Something I didn't mention is that I love how you set this out too. Nice captions etc. Thought I'd mention that.

That was so cool Vic. I love all your work even if it's not finished or didn't come out to look like you wanted it. Thanks for sharing those with us. That was cool. Keep up the awsome work.

The Gonzo idea reminded me of the combined Kermit/Fozzie from The Great Muppet Caper

Slanderous Junk Weekly – Issue 2

I guess I didn’t realize it when I created the first four issues of “Slanderous Junk Weekly”, but this publication would afford Fleet Scribbler the perfect employment, so the story from here on out is that he’s moved up the corporate ladder from snotty journalist for some unknown newspaper in the 70’s to Editor-In-Chief of the nations biggest Muppet gossip magazine here in the 21st Century. Feel free to use that in your fan-fics! Anyway, this second issue was really made to give the frog some vindication for last issue. Besides, how often would I get the chance to use Jessica Alba in a visual? Hubba-hubba!

Muppet Central Morsels

• The "Bear Header" isn't intended to be offensive in as much as it is a look at how silly these types of magazines can be, but basically that's my sense of humor and "poop" in big letters cracks me up.
• Have you noticed how out of place and corny the background looks? It's supposed to! It's a jab at the lame work gossip mag designers do, and as I'm in the business, I can tease if I want!
• If you haven't noticed by now, the "price" is a running gag in every issue.​

***More info you may or may not feel the need to read!***​

Excellent as usual Dave! I love the look you got on Piggy's face! I wouldn't want to get in her way right now! I found the statement by Bear to be quite humorous, I find that kind of humor to be quite funny! Great job! Looking forward to the Christmas visual next week!

 

[The Count]

You know... I'd like to get the particulars on both issues of Slanderous Junk Weekly.
Looking forward to all of the next four visuals planned.

Christmas and New Year's for obvious reasons, to see just who's at the party.
Jim Henson the Legend... Oh, that'll be a fitting tribute. If and when I get my figure display readied, I have the figures from TMS and SS to do a similar tribute gathering photo.
Muppet Movie Parodies: Mean Girls... Now that's the one I'm looking forward to most, especially to see who'll be there and how the girls will be depicted. For some reason I'm picturing Mokey, Janice and/or Prairie as the bodacious bad girls.

Anyway, keep postin' and we'll keep reviewin'.

Muppet Movie Parodies: Mean Girls... Now that's the one I'm looking forward to most, especially to see who'll be there and how the girls will be depicted. For some reason I'm picturing Mokey, Janice and/or Prairie as the bodacious bad girls.

I normally try not to post between visuals like this; but Count... you just totally nailed that visual and NO ONE has seen it yet! The only one you left out was... well, I probably shouldn't give it away, but when I read that, my jaw dropped!

At any rate, I should also mention I've been meaning to do full descriptions of the visuals, so I'll just do the two issues of SJW now:

Slanderous Junk Weekly 1
Overview: Features Brad Pitt and Miss Piggy on the cover, reporting on their new love affair with the headline "PIGGY AND BRAD!?" with the sub-head "THE FULL SCOOP ON THE SWINE'S NEW SWEETIE". Below that features three pictures tied to the main story of Kermit, Link Hogthrob and actor Matthew McConaughey posed as Piggy's past parteners with the additional sub-head "PLUS: HOW DO HER EX'S FEEL?" with the intended joke that Piggy "gets around"; most notabley with McConaughey who was voted "Sexiest Man Of The Year".
Additional Stories: Another image features Bert with the tag "FASHION ALERT - STRIPES ARE IN!"
Inside Header Gag: The very top of the magazine (like most magazines) features a bar detailing additional stories within the magazine. This one features a head shot of Wembley with the headline "THE FIVE MOST INFLUENTIAL FRAGGLES".
Price Gag: In a yellow burst on the page where the price is supposed to be features the text "NOT WORTH SQUAT!"

Slanderous Junk Weekly 2
Overview: Features Kermit with a very new and slightly odd looking muscular green body, topless in blue jeans with the headline "KERM'S NEW BOD GETS HIM A NEW BABE!" along with a picture in frame of the stunning Jessica Alba with the sub-head along side reading "JESSICA'S GOT HER NEW FROG FREE FROM HIS BLUES" with another frame of a furious Piggy just below with the sub-head along side reading "AND GUESS WHO'S GREEN WITH ENVY? BYE BYE BRAD!"
Additional Stories: Another image features Beaker with the tag "BEAKER - THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND"
Inside Header Gag: The very top of the magazine features a head shot of Bear with the headline "I POOP TOO MUCH AND HAE TURRETS".
Price Gag: In a yellow burst on the page where the price is supposed to be features the text "WE SHOULD PAY YOU!"

Aw... Thanks Dave.

Muppet Mean Girls, one missing? OK, I guess that goes to the one leading lady everyone always thinks of... Camilla? No, seriously, will wait for it with relish. And maybe some mustard and sauerkraut... But I digress, or, er, digest.

SJW... That's so funny...
Issue 1: So what'll they call themselves... Briggy?
Issue 2: OMG, that's probably the more muscular Robot Kermit from Muppet Magazine I found in Muppet Wika's entries... The price tag line's funny also.
I only hope you won't rue the day you made these should Ru pop in and see the sleazy tabloid covers. Though it'd probably serve as fodder for her main opus, Kermie's Girl...

Anyway, great stuff, look forward to it all.
