#SAM THE EAGLE

I've slowly been chipping away at drawing scenes from that imaginary Muppet retelling of the Princess Bride, figured it was about time to share what I've drawn on Tumblr!

Set of 12 "Muppet Show" buttons produced in 1977 in the UK. They were also sold at the Muppet Stuff store in New York City. The manufacturer is unknown; the only marks on the buttons say, "HA! 1976-77"

Muppet Casting Rules

Because you can't just do whatever you want when you're casting the muppets.

Rule #1:You get ONE Human celebrity actor to play a character. This can be a main protagonist, a villain, a joke character, whoever fits best, but you only get one TRUE "celebrity" guest.

Rule #2: You may have multiple celebrity cameos, but their characters must appear only once and then never again, otherwise the celebrity counts as your one true celebrity role.

Rule #3: You may have two additional non-celebrity human actors to play roles where necessary. Generally this should be one man/boy and one woman/girl, but gender is a construct and this rule can be flexible depending on the roles in question.

Rule #4: Muppets should not be cast as multiple characters unless it is a story where two roles are traditionally played by the same actor (ie, the wolf and the prince in Into the Woods). Each muppet should only have one character in the story that they play.

Rule #5: The exception to rule number 4 is Miss Piggy, who may play multiple roles (as she does in Muppet Wizard of Oz) if the roles all make sense for her to play. This is both because she is really the only female muppet of note, and because, let's face it darling, she has the range.

Rule #6: You get ONE Unique Muppet per show. This should only be used once all other possible casting options have been exhausted, but an original muppet may be designed in order to fill a role that's particularly difficult to cast with current existing muppets and the One Celebrity and Additional Humans have already been used.

Rule #7: Background characters can be a mix of human and muppets, the ratio is dependent on the story itself. However, background characters are only really worth mentioning in the case of musicals, when discussing ensemble pieces.

Rule #8: Finally, any and all of these rules are in fact breakable if the end result is funny enough to justify it.

I forgot how wild "a Muppet Family Christmas" special is! Had to draw my favourite moments, the whole thing was delightful!

Sam's reaction was so genuine it made me laugh!

Good Omens if it included Muppets: A Thread (Part 1)🧵

-Crowley & Aziraphale are the only humanoid characters, nobody can replace them😌

-Sam the Eagle as Gabriel: This is the ONLY option

-Rizzo the Rat as Michael: idk it just feels right

-Pepe the King Prawn as Uriel: I can picture Pepe threatening Aziraphale in season 1😭

-Statler & Waldorf as Ligur & Hastur: No other options😮‍💨

-Gonzo as God: Specifically Gonzo from a Muppet Christmas Carol

Part 2 in my next post🐍🪽

Muppet Pride & Prejudice

This gave me and the bestie a wonderful hour of fun. As per tradition, Darcy should be a human. We think Elizabeth should be a humanoid muppet as well.

Any fan of Muppet Christmas Carol knows that Gonzo is the perfect narrator and he is still allowed to be, but only in character as

Bingley: Jane:

Mr & Mrs Bennet:

Kitty/Lydia/Mary: Miss Caroline Bingley:

(Mary is the frog, in case that wasn't clear)

Mr Wickham: Mr Collins:

Lady Catherine de Bourgh:

Gonzo/Bingley as the narrator keeps trying to pull focus back to what he sees as the "real" story, but it's just Gonzo and Camilla in split screen staring out of rainy windows.

Also, Scooter should be every servant/footman/messenger/carriage driver. It's clearly just Scooter with costume changes, and he gets more and more exasperated as the show goes on, complete with a late entrance due to being half dressed.

A 3 page comic for @muppetpridezine, and I am able to share the full piece now. You should be able to still get merch from the zine over at https://muppetpridezine.carrd.co , iffin you're interested and wanting to donate to charity.

I am going to tear a Disney executive apart with my bare hands if they keep treating MY muppets like filth under their greedy corporate shoe.

The Muppet Show

Season 04 Ep 19 - Lynda Carter

In honor of "Wonder Woman" Lynda Carter, Scooter buys a mail-order course on how to be a superhero. Soon a crowd of Muppets are wearing silly costumes and reading Invincibility Made Easy. Meanwhile, Miss Piggy appears as "Wonder Pig", and battles a giant chicken.
