Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

we've never had much reason to articulate this before a.i., but a reason we enjoy literature, art, music, etc. is that we know it is one human mind trying to express something fundamentally human and otherwise inexpressible to another human mind

It ends w/ Belafonte consoling Fozzie & a performance of "Turn The World Around". The message, & its resonance, remains undiminished... “Do you know who I am Do I know who you are See we one another clearly Do we know who we are” Belafonte would later perform this song at Jim Henson’s funeral.

Two things about this 1989 appearance by Henson on the Arsenio Hall Show. It again shows how loose & un-precious Jim was performing live (Rowlf was his first breakout star character), but note that he put Rowlf’s right arm in a sling, because there was no one with him to perform it.

Not to harp on it (totally to harp on it), but I go back again & again to how strongly the notion of a support system of like-minded weirdos factored into the resonance of The Muppets. I’ve had plenty of long, dark nights of the soul, & this scene is a touchstone for me...

And we also have Lew Grade’s belief in Jim Henson to thank for both THE MUPPET MOVIE & THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER. I think of this often - about how important simple, straightforward belief is vital to a creative spirit. Belief in yourself, but also others’ belief in you. (See: THE MUPPET MOVIE)

This sketch perfectly illustrates an aspect of Fozzie’s character that is both defining & almost wholly ignored in modern material. He throws himself into his act, 1000%, & desperately wants it to work. He hopes that finally, FINALLY, it will land. But, if it doesn't, he’ll keep trying. 1000%.

"Tonight, I'm just barely making it. I don't know...sometimes, it's very difficult." The real test for me about whether a project *really* gets the potential of the Muppets & their emotional breadth is whether it would be comfortable with - &, in fact, embrace - moments & performances like these...

Which brings me to another clip that highlights THE MUPPET SHOW’s brilliant intersection of character & showmanship, as the backstage drama spills into a sketch & launches a musical number featuring guest Loretta Swit. (And brill puppeteering: Note Kermit’s wink. SO MUCH ACTING.)

Comedy can come from the simplest of gags, if there’s confidence to commit. It doesn’t have to be bombast, or a major production number. THE MUPPET SHOW could do big comedy and small comedy, but, importantly, allowed itself room to breathe in service of the comedy, even with a slow-burn gag...

And because I can’t help myself, I want to leave you with what I hope is a lasting appreciation, or at least piqued curiosity, of the artistry behind the art - Particularly after you’ve watched that previous clip of Kermit dancing to “Happy Feet”, as performed by Jim Henson...

I care because I’m a nostalgic fool who connected with these characters, & remain frustrated that they’re untended when there is still plenty of reason to do so. Was THE MUPPET SHOW perfect? No. Nothing is. But when it hit that sweet spot, it operated on a full spectrum of emotion.

You may think me foolish to spend so much time trying to parse why these characters were able to become a *global* phenomenon 50 years ago only to be barely relevant outside of a barely managed IP today, with a body of work largely unknown to modern audiences, but this is why I care...

“It’s like a funny Eugene O’Neill story...” There was a richness to the characters on THE MUPPET SHOW, infused with a relatability & humanity that welcomed audiences to connect to objects of felt & foam. You could feel the show’s emotional investment & responded in kind.

This is all to say that my chief concern about the Rogen-revival of THE MUPPET SHOW is that it will favor slick over shambolic, polished over poetic, & do comedy without character. The Muppets are a cast to be written for - Not inserted to service a joke. It’s not about gag density, but if you care.

Or just strip that back to a single character & set piece & let the performance take it away. What comes out in this performance, of a tune that is not a well-known Top 40 hit, is Jim Henson’s affection for it. His affection for it transfers to the audience. It welcomes an audience in...

Muppets comedy doesn’t require a huge production budget. It also doesn’t have to be cranked to 11 to deliver solid comedy beats *if* you can deliver them through strongly defined characters. You can watch this & instantly know & laugh at these character types in a sketch...

Look at the density of visual gags & performer “business” in this MUPPET SHOW number, and all of it elevating the central musical performance. It also is comprised entirely of one-off characters for just this bit. But it radiates effortless fun in a way few modern Muppet bits do.

But I can't explain to someone who has no interest in art why someone would want to use specific artstyles, nor why someone would find that appealing. I love art from people who have something specific to express and to experience the feeling and texture of what that art evokes.

Screenshot from The Seance of Blake Manor showing a ghostly woman in red making "shush" gesture

Screenshot from Mundaun showing a room in the grandfather's house, all of the textures are hand-drawn with pencil.

Screenshot from Slay the Princess showing the princess looking all sad eyed, the player character's scaly hand is holding a dagger, probably for slaying, who knows?

Screenshot from Stories From Sol: The Gun-Dog showing a stern looking blond woman, the text reads:
