I've been reading a lot of Stephen King lately. That belongs in a King book.

It's actually kind of impressive how well the foam-rubber has lasted for... yikes, 40+ years.

Huh. I always figured the Froud family got involved by Jim tapping Brian for Dark Crystal designs and the rest coming along but it turns out it's because Wendy got a couple of gigs and was all "well if you like what I'm doing my parents are artists too". Neat.
Also this reminds me I keep wanting to do some stuff aimed at galleries so I can open up weird fortuitous chances like "part of the Muppet crew found Wendy's stuff in a gallery and showed it to Jim".

The Yoda puppet does not spark joy
These articles do, though!
