Review of
The Muppet Show Comic Book,
by Roger Langridge et. al. ISBN 9781934506851
Five out of five stars
The charm of the show is captured in graphic novel
form
This graphic novel
is in essence a Muppet Show rendition in comic form. The main characters are
presented in sketches that are absurd yet maintain the quirkiness of those
unforgettable personalities. The two old men hecklers in the balcony pop up on
a regular basis to give their caustic comments on what they have just seen.
The Muppets are
in the wild, aboard a spacecraft, in a science lab, under insurance audit and
dancing in a ballroom. The longest running story is where an insurance agent is
trying to determine for the formal records what kind of creature Gonzo is. It
is not an easy task, for how do you define the undefinable.
Truly unique
characters in the history of entertainment, the Muppets are some of the best
characters ever created. Each one is a work of genius, and there are so many.
