[pastelmuppet]

So far….4 out of 6 mayhem members became the center of attention for their week of appreciation in the Muppets 70th Anniversary!

We missing the good doctor and the fluffy yellow boi!!

As Polly Lobster has just been announced after Floyd Pepper, who do you think is gonna be the next member of the Electric Mayhem to get its recognition?

**NOTE: I won’t be drawing Floyd until I get both Teeth and Lips dates and number placements before I do a drawing similar to Janice/Zoot/Animal piece like dis!!**

Enjoy this throwback to Zoot's week of Muppets 70 - this actually got featured on the official Muppets Instagram in early November! (Yes I absolutely freaked out about it)

It was a fun challenge to experiment with the rendering of this piece under the time pressure of getting it out there in time. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out - I was really happy that a lot of people liked it over on Instagram, so hopefully Tumblr enjoys it too ^_^

(Also, the flower on his jacket is supposed to be a chrysanthemum - if ykyk).

on One hand I'd love for muppets mayhem to get a second season because there was so many unexplored stories and hinted bits but on the Other hand i feel like they'll make one of the Mayhem straight and really that'd be the end of it for me

ITS ZOOT WEEK YALLLL

Since I’m here…..

Well well well where do I begin with the sax man of the week?? 😊💙🎷

Zoot holds a very special place in my heart; he is the main reason I became a huge muppet fan. He is a reason that I have became a huge electric mayhem fan for life from the past 9 plus years since middle school in 2011. Rock on brother!!! Love ya brother!!!

I always loved how stylist zoot is! he's got like, unbelievable amounts of swag that is surpasses time. his fashionable wardrobe is underappreciated methinks

RIGHT?!?!! Look how sharp dressed this man is. Timeless yet fresh, effortless yet immaculate

yo muppet fans meet my oc

pepper teeth!

she is the child of dr teeth (yes he still doesnt commit to this lmao...). shes a tired teenager, loves 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music and movies. she is like a big sister to animal, she plays rhythm guitar, violin, and piano. she absolutely adores the beatles and billy joel, she likes david bowie, simon and garfunkel, sam and dave, dean martin, frank sinatra, bruce springsteen, and bob dylan. she loves walter very much. they got together after the 2011 movie. she believed walter in the muppets most wanted and she sometimes lovingly makes fun of walter's height. she doesnt have the healthiest relationship with teeth, once again, teeth doesnt commit to shit. she, even though hes eepy and shes high all the time, views janice and zoot like her parents. she likes floyd, lips, and animal. she cries over the beatles' yesterday, let it be (dont question it-), Get Back (the documentary), over the matter of trust: the bridge to russia billy joel 1987, this is the time, tomorrow is today, and so it goes, and blackbird. yes. uhm. anyways. i love pepper, shes my baby

The brother in laws 😊

Please have some unfinished sketches :)

Comic 1

Lips : Weird AL came from the clouds to talk to you?

Floyd : Yeah man! It was freaky as shit!

Comic 2

Lips: Actually Floyd the moon is very much real, and there are still astronauts still going there to this day.

Floyd : pfft you really should stop spreading false truth around Lips, if that even is you name. 🤨

Ok I feel like their relationship with one another would be straight man and jokester in a way. Like I don't want to say that Lips is the "smartest" out of the band;but his page in the muppet wiki book does say that he gives lectures at a college, and we see him reading a lot in the 2015 series. Also in that show where Zoot had asked if the moon was real or not Floyd said "Ain't no real moon. Not since the 70s." And it seemed that Lips was about to say something before Scooter walked in and interrupted.

So this brings me to an aspect of their character dynamic I think they should have. Floyd would say something stupid about conspiracies and Lips would back it up with factual evidence. Just for Floyd to tell him that he's spreading miss information and that its not ok.

And I'm not saying that Lips hates Floyd or dislikes him. No they're good friends. But I do headcanon that Lips does tolerate Floyd and Janice's relationship even if he doesn't think his actions make him a good fit for Janice.

Odyssey's Story Chapter 1 💜

( This story is Sfw, for the most part so read at your own will, but keep in mind this story is on the mature side of things, you have been warned ⚠️ )

Odyssey Starlett. What a name, too bad no one knows it. It's almost like she never existed, which is strange because she knew she was real. Or was she? Odyssey is not her name, but before she got the job as a backup singer for Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, she didn't go by anything else, well unless it's Kermit handing out checks; then she'll hear her "birth name." Things were good for Od; everyone got along with her. She even did a guest role on The Muppet Show back in the '70s when she was in her 20s. Things did change for her leaving, her family behind after seeing Kermit put out a flyer for "Groovy backup singers, Bring some soul and spirit to Muppets House band Dr. Teeth ATEM." She was so happy that she dropped everything and went; she would have never met Dr. Teeth and his lovers if it wasn't for her quick thinking well maybe still but it wouldn't have been in that lifetime. She could still picture the first time she met them.

1975 NYC, they needed someone to help sing backup for a skit. "I can't believe this is all you could find for the number?" Kermit belted out.Well, sorry boss, this is all on short notice," Scooter said defeated. "Good grief" was all that Kermit could get out before a purple-haired and felt puppet comes up to him almost towering, looks at him. Kermit looks up, trying not to gulp. "Sorry there Mr. Frog, but I wanted to try, I swear I won't let you down... please, I won't," Odyssey said, feeling her heart down to her ass. Kermit sighs and looks Od up and down; he smiles a bit and stands by Scooter. "Let's see what you got Ms. -" "Starlett, Odyssey Starlett, sir."

Kermit: Let's see what you got Ms. Star, let's see if that last name suits you.

Odyssey felt her heart stop, but she swallowed her fear and started to tap her high heels and snap her fingers. Kermit looks at her in amazement; he whispers to Scooter to grab the Electric Mayhem. Scooter says a quick "On it, boss" and dashes off. Odyssey starts to sing "Stairway to Heaven" but shorts it to where she skips a lot of the instrumental bits. Odyssey doesn't notice, but The Mayhem has set up behind her; Dr. Teeth gets ready on his keyboard, and Floyd and Janice already chimed in. Zoot waits for him to chime in, and Animal lets it loose on the beat drop. Kermit looks at the rest of the casting sheet, and he throws it away. Odyssey finishes up to her surprise; the band and her are drenched in sweat from feeling her energy. Animal startles Od with an "AGAIN AGAIN AHahahaha!!" Odyssey turns around and sees the Mayhem, and she faints. Luckily for her, Dr. Teeth stretches out his arms and catches her. "Woah there, ah-ahaha, someone got too excited," The doctor said with a belly laugh. The rest of the Mayhem was a bit more concerned for the purple puppet. "Oh, poor thing," Janice said in a soft voice. "I think someone got overwhelmed by the power of the Led Zep," Floyd said, leading him to wheeze laugh. Zoot stands there and looks at Od. "They look a bit purple." "I think they are always purple, Zoot." "Oh, then they look fine to me." After Floyd and Zoot's little back and forth, Od starts to wake up. " Look! Look! they're up! " Janice said trying to not startle odyssey. " W-what what happened " by this time Dr teeth put her closer to his chest while the mayhem surrounded her a bit and Kermit looked worried. " you blinked out for a few seconds there Purple hahaha " The Doc said in his cool and calm manner. Kermit dashes to them " oh good grief... you okay? "  " their fine now green stuff... " Floyd looks at him rolls his eyes. " oh did you eat today or drink water ? " Janice said pulling out some snack from their shared bag. " Oh haha... yeah i just forgot to eat breakfast no biggie haha... " Kermit calls over scooter " hey scoot order breakfast again Breakfast sandwiches from the deli down the road please " Scooter nodes his head " anything specific boss? " Kermit looks at Od " do you have any allergies ? " Od wipes her eyes " i-- don't eat pork so no pork bacon ill take a turkey and cheese with ketchup salt and pepper " scooter nodes at Odyssey and dashes off  //// 

Odyssey drafting off to space looking up at the ceiling. they're on the floor, filled with pillows they share with the Mayhem. Janice doesn't believe in mattresses so they all sleep on the floor, most of the time animal sleep on their own human size doggy like-bed. When Od is the only one at the house they sleep and nap in animal's bed. Od gets out of their thoughts by Dr Teeth walking in with some breakfast and their coffee." Hey there Afros haha " he grins showing his golden tooth. God Odyssey loves The Doc's features all of him up and down, Before Od could drool over one of their lovers Floyd pops in to treat Od. The three of them joke and laugh a bit than the landline rings.  Dr Teeth picks it up , his smile turns to a frown, he goes back to a small grin Floyd and Odyssey look at Teeth trying to figure out the news before it is said. Before they could get a guess out the Doc hangs up and looks at them. " we gotta go to the theater " Od and Teeth watch as Floyd groans and sighs as he gets back up " Nah, hell man today was our day off " " well Sarge now its our day back on, come one Janice and Zoot is already there "

FLOYD: “What do you think?”

ZOOT: “Ten to one the pig wins.”

The Muppet Show Book, 1978. A great image. This page immediately precedes the ones where Kermit wrestles with Granny.

I know we keep joking about the resemblance between John, Joe, and Wembley from "Fraggle Rock" and Beeker from "The Muppets" (and still find it funny I noticed the Wembley resemblance to John as a little girl) but I can't help but wonder if Jim Henson did model Wembley after John. He was known for doing this especially with the Muppet band Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as Dr. Teeth is based off of Dr. John. Animal is a variety of 70s rock band drummers. Sgt. Floyd Pepper is a shoutout to both the Beatles and Pink Floyd as he's pink. Janice is both named after Janice Joplin and is modeled after Carly Simon. Then Zoot is based off of jazz saxophonist Gato Barbieri.

So back to Wembley he was created in 1983 for "Fraggle Rock" and named after Wembley Stadium.  The show also said Wembley was a Fraggle word meaning he's indecisive and doesn't like choosing sides when his friends fight or make anyone mad or sad. He's the youngest of the Fraggles and the kindest. Lives with his best friend Gobo, always wears his banana tree shirts, and loves to sing and play the drums even though he's very nervous most of the time. He's the only Muppet too on "Fraggle Rock" that can move his eyes so he can roll his eyes or make faces quite similar to John and Joe. LOL :) No wonder he was my favorite on "Fraggle Rock".
