Don’t pay his “hotel” bill.

Take a look at the audience.

This made me flash on the animated Yoda in the first chapters of Star Wars. I told someone, “He didn’t even look real!”

Oh noes. Not Jimmy again.

It ain’t over until the fat frog croaks.

Wait, Jimmy’s a Muppet? Kermit’s cousin maybe?

Kermit wishes he had Jimmy’s fan base.

Best Ever!

“I always dreamed we’d make this strip.”

“Those weren’t dreams, those were nightmares!”

why no turtles at the show ?

I think Kermit was on Summer vacation that week. (Remember Summer replacement TV shows?). Also…at first I thought the author had broken the puppet theme. Then, I quickly remembered…oh yeah, Muppets!

Tuff crowd…

GRAND SLAM

Obviously, Statler and Waldorf don’t care any more for Jimmy than they did for some of the other acts on The Muppet Show.

Oh goodness not Jimmy the frog

“Why do we always come here?/ I guess we’ll never know./ It’s just some kind of TOR-ture/ To have to watch the SHOW.”

“What was your favorite part of the movie?”“I liked the part with the Alamo.”“But that wasn’t in the movie.”“That’s why I liked it. WHA-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.”(From “The Muppet Movie”)

“Nurse, there’s something wrong with the TV. It’s on.”- Statler and Waldorf watching the Muppets on TV in “Muppets Tonight” (1996).

“Don’t blow the impression by being funny,” they said to Rich Little on his Fozzie Bear impression.

And let’s not forget their singing debuts in “The Muppets’ Christmas Carol”.
