What a disgusting opinion.

Screenshot of a post by Ryan Roe that says, “You should be here more often posting things that aren’t screenshots of disgusting opinions! Then my feed will be nicer!”

I like that Kermit credits himself as the writer and then credits each of the Muppet Performers by name as the performers.

Cover for the audiobook version of Kermit the Frog’s book ‘Before You Leap’.

Have you heard that I’m starting a classic cartoons podcast? Recordings have begun, and I should have a trailer up within a few weeks!

This Thanksgiving, recast the holiday with Muppets but keep one human.

A frequently shared cartoon of Sesame Street characters gathered to eat Big Bird for Thanksgiving, but in Big Bird’s place are the Muppet cupcakes. The caption above reads “I finally remember what Zoom meetings remind me of.”

I gave everyone at Friendsgiving a numbered Sesame-themed decorative train car. They tried to pose for a nice photo with their cars and predictably fell to pieces laughing. It’s much better this way.

Six people (Nova, Gav, Kate, Richard, Moomin, and Lucy) laughing and holding little Sesame Street decorative train cars around a messy folding table in a small room.

I’m sure at some point I’d previously considered that this title was likely a reference to the band going disco, but it really hit me like divine revelation just now.

I did this, quite nervously, in front of Jim Henson’s daughter Heather. Dog, what have you done? Thanks to @louie.bsky.social for the video!

I’m still promoting this podcast episode because I’m very happy with how it turned out. Hear all about Jim Henson’s birthday celebration in NYC and much more on the latest Great Muppet Fandom Panel!

ToughPigs’ Great Muppet Fandom Panel cast: Joe Hennes (ToughPigs Editor), Richard Michael Gomez (Artist/Puppeteer), Tori Schmidt (Muppets No Context), and Gav (his own thing).

Continuing my tradition of rushed, rough Muppet sketches for Muppet fan birthdays, here’s one for @ktlyn.bsky.social - it’s an attempt at Little Bird, because that happens to be the only character I could think of in the moment. Happy birthday, Katilyn!

I revisited the first two episodes of ‘The Muppets’ (2015) today for the first time in ages. I’ve found that it remains my favorite TV show from this group of characters. What a joy!
