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

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.

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.

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.

An article so long that I would never read it, from my Cube:

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 wrote this hastily late last night, just to help disprove the stereotype that homeschoolers are more responsible.

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!

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!
