The Muppet Show Comic Book: Meet The Muppets (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
There is only one word to describe this book: delightful.Langridge captures the warmhearted zaniness of the Muppets as only a fan could. Each voice is pitch-perfect, each action is right on target. I despise the character design (too angle-y and impressionistic), but the writing more than makes up for it. My biggest fear as I started the comic was that it wouldn't be funny, but it's just as hilarious as an episode of the TV show. As a lifelong Muppet fan, I give this book my wholehearted approval. As a fan of the Muppet Show and Graphic Novels, I thought I'd take a chance on this new series and I'm so glad I did. The writer does an excellent job of capturing the unique humor of The Muppet Show. I would argue that the humor is slightly more adult than the Muppet Show used to be (not in content, it just takes a certain age to get some of the jokes), but that doesn't really bother me. The only thing that is a little off putting is seeing Fozzie give the occasional toothy grin or a few other slight reminders that this is a comic and the Muppets are not puppets like I'm used to. That is very minor though and if you like the show at all, you really should give this series a chance. It is cheap online and represents good value for money. Mostly importantly, you'll be reminded of a great show that puts most contemporary kid's and adult's entertainment to shame.
