The Muppet Show

review 1: It was good and pretty entertaining, much more adult than I expected! I'm referring to the stories and underlying themes here, not any explicit adult contents - we're talking about the Muppets after all :)Love the poems and the rhymes. Love the puns - please read every single line, even the fine print. You might miss out on some because there's so many puns going on. Love the sometimes existential questions posed by some characters, especially Kermit, the thoughtful one of the bunch.Definitely adding this to my list of comics to follow.
review 2: It's hard to explain cartoonist Roger Langridge's exact accomplishments on this book without sounding like one's over-praising what he's done here. Essentially, this is just the original Muppet Show, represented as a c... moreomic book (four individual comic books, actually, collected into this trade paperback). What's so remarkable is that the Muppet Show was, of course, a television show, and thus shouldn't really be transferable to the comics medium, but Langridge manages it, essentially be putting on a one-man version of the show, in which he constructs the sets and puppets himself, writes all the material, and then performs all of the characters himself, using only paper and ink. The end result is completely true to the show, completely true to the comics medium and, somehow, completely true to Langridge's own particular style. Even if one doesn't appreciate the source material, this is still a work to be held up and admired from a craft perspective. less
