San Diego Comic Con is coming to rock the bay-area next weekend starting on Saturday, July 20th. Comic Con is a hub for all things geek culture, so of course there will have to be some Muppet presence there. Last year, Super Grover 2.0 and Eric Jacobson appeared, and this year our friends at ToughPigs.com have been great enough to gather all the relevant Muppet panels and events in one convenient place! Check out their post and find out what Muppet-related fun you can see (or what you'll miss) at San Diego Comic Con this year!Speaking of Eric Jacobson, he recently sat down for an excellent interview with CNN to showcase the movement of Sesame Street puppets--from penguins to Anything Muppet kings. The video below features tons of puppets, Eric being awesome, a cameo from Matt Vogel, and some delightful Grover ad-libs. This is not to be missed!
A week ago, Acme Archives and Dark Ink Art released the outstanding and beautiful "Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem" prints from our good friend and James Carroll. The print was released in three stellar variants--and would you believe that all three variants are still available? Yup, you can still get the standard green, "Rock Star Red," and "Purple Haze" prints for just $60 each. What are you waiting for?! Get to rockin', man!

Keep Muppets and freaky-deaky conventions as faaaaaaaaaaaar away from each other as possible! Worlds collide.
ReplyDeleteJoe, will you cut that out? I honestely don't see why the Muppets can't be at a popular culture convention. I mean, they had there own one-time convention back in 2001.
