Riding My Own Coattails: A Very "Special" Christmas

[libertina]

As promised, here is the yuletide-themed Muppet extravaganza I drew when I was 10, courtesy of mister-punchy who is now in possession of the original. I can't very well explain why I changed the Polar Bear Hunt sign from "7th Annual" to "16th Annual" on the second draft and made the grisly inclusion of slaughtered bear carcasses, or why the disembodied rifle is

Not to mention that your shows far more artistic and storytelling talent. But seeing as I've barely progressed as an artist within the last 25 years and you're, well, awesome at drawing, I genuflect before your Muppet renderings.

Oh, man. That is absolutely priceless. there are so many fantastic details I don't know where to start.

I think my favorite bits are the fact that Janice is getting a present (I know she's in an "open relationship" with Zoot and Sgt. Floyd, and she's enough of a free spirit that I imagine she'd be down with a little interspecies experimentation, and Kermit's not the kind of guy to let his one night stands go unacknowledged) and the positively homicidal Swedish Chef about to cleave Camilla in twain.

Hee! I like how Fozzie keeps saying, "I'm not a polar bear!" and no one seems to be listening. :)

And isn't that just a metaphor for life, really?
