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!

Happy Pride month to all the gay folks who should still be with us but were lost to AIDS. So many of them had (and continue to have) huge impacts on the world, despite their lives being tragically cut short.

Since this is primarily a Muppet blog, I wanted to take a moment to talk about Richard Hunt.

Richard Hunt was a gay man and a fantastic puppeteer who started working with Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, and company in 1970 at age eighteen and joined the cast of Sesame Street two years later. While working with the Muppets, he originated the characters of Scooter, Beaker, Statler, Sweetums, and Wayne, but also became the primary performer of Janice and is responsible for the flower child personality she is now known for. He was also known to be a fantastic singer.

But maybe most importantly, he made so many people happy. According the book "Of Muppets and Men" by Christopher Finch, Hunt "seems to get more unadulterated pleasure from performing than anyone else in the organization. When he is not working on camera, he is apt to have Scooter or Beaker or Janice -- anyone -- on his arm for the purpose of entertaining... He makes the crew laugh, jokes with the guest star, clowns for the shop personnel. He is one of the chief reasons for the loose atmosphere that exists around Studio D despite the pressure and the slow pace that are endemic to television production."

Hunt died at age 41 due to AIDS complications. The Muppet Workshop made a panel for the NAMES Project AIDS quilt in his honor. The Richard Hunt Spirit Award is presented every year at the Sesame Street wrap party to the cast member that best honors Hunt's generosity and dedication on set.

Rest in peace Richard. Thank you for the laughs and the smiles, and happy Pride 💛

I finally finished my new huge illustration based on one my favorite show, The Muppets! Jim Henson’s work is one of the reason I’m drawing now and it shaped my taste in movies or stories. This illustration is a little tribute to his gigantic creative work 💜

The illustration will be available during Thought Bubble convention in November!

[Image Description: A four-panel comic of Susato Mikotoba and Haori Murasame from The Great Ace Attorney. Susato is sitting on a ledge against a wall, reading a book. Haori is leaning against Susato, her legs splayed to the side. She had her arms around Susato, and is resting her head on Susato's shoulder. A small heart is drawn above them. Haori raises her head as she asks, "…Susato?" Susato looks up from her book and replies, "Yes?" Haori continues, "I've been thinking…" She turns away from Susato, blushing, and raises her hand to her mouth in thought. Quietly, she mumbles "this may be odd, but…" and then continues in a normal voice, "You're sort of like if a pretty boyfriend was also a very handsome girlfriend." Susato looks at Haori in surprise, her cheeks turning red. Haori mumbles again, "Did that make sense?" Susato turns away from Haori to cover her face with her sleeve, blushing even harder as she squeezes her eyes shut. Haori leans on Susato's shoulder and asks in concern, "Ah! Did I say something offensive!?" There are yellow emphasis lines and question marks around her head. Susato replies in a jagged speech bubble, "N-No!" Above Susato's there is an arrow pointing towards her labelled "Happiest she's ever been", as well as small hearts floating around her head. End ID.]

Haori voices her thoughts, and Susato experiences some gender euphoria <3

help i can't stop making these

it's important to note that while some are in the same category, their motivations are different:

•pepe is being annoying on purpose but bean bunny is just a lil shithead

•piggy thinks sweetums is annoying, stat+wal just want more space in the car and sweetums is the biggest, and also the bit of sweetums always getting left behind on road trips was too perfect for this

•rizzo has the good snacks but refuses to share. swedish chef has... food? and is very enthusiastically offering it to his friends but nobody has taken him up on it

•electric mayhem only plays bangers, don't get me wrong, but in my head sgt pepper was playing "Fugue for Frog" (muppet show S1 last episode i think) on repeat to annoy kermit and the rest of the band was vibing until kermit flipped

thank you i put way too much thought into this

(i found the chart template on google so i don't know who made it but pls lmk if you do)

Small tribute to the late, great Richard Hunt

It's so weird grieving for a person who didn't even exist in your lifetime, but inspired you and millions of others

RIP Richard Hunt, he would've been 72 today

Happy birthday
