I Want To Believe. Wocka, Wocka, Wocka!

Fox Mulder meets Fozzie Bear. You know? It totally works. I think Janice, the guitarist from Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem would make a good Scully for him. (Fozzie Mulder by Amy Mebberson)

Maybe You Can Hire The M-Team

"In 1972, a crack vaudeville unit was sent to off Broadway by a theatre court for a joke they didn't tell. These Muppets promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the Tony Awards they survive as Muppets of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The M-Team." (The M-Team by Amy Mebberson; link via Comics Alliance)

Muppet Babies Meets The Wire

Another awesome Wire mashup from Warren Ellis's REMAKE/REMODEL challenge, this time imagining Bubbles as Fozzie Bear Scooter, Brother Mouzone as Gonzo and Kermit as Omar Little. (Wire Babies by Felipe Sobreiro)

And, because it really does seem a perfect fit, the cops of The Wire in Police Academy, by Mike O'Dwyer.

Muppets + Mythbusters = Muppet Busters

Seeing Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as Muppets makes me wish the Muppets were still on air as a weekly show. Looking back it was the Muppets and Sesame Street that introduced me to the concept of pop culture mashups and parody. (Muppet Busters by Dane Ault, via Comics Alliance)

Miss Piggy And The Elders

Art is just coming alive for me since coming across Hillary White. Her latest, Miss Piggy and the Elders based on Artemisia Gentileschi's Susanna ei Vecchioni. I'm like all cultured and stuff now.

Sesame Street Anatomy Lesson

I'm hoping Cookie Monster is shocked and not hungry, because if he is, this lesson will not end well. The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Bird by Hillary White, based on Rembrandt's The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. (Link via Super Punch)

The Muppets Name Etymology

I never realized that The Muppets were so well categorized as demonstrated by Jeff Rubin and Caldwell Tanner's venn diagram on College Humor. Though I can't believe any human is called Elmo.  (Link via The Daily What, by way of John Farrier.)

Muppets Kick Ass

Where is the new Muppets Show? This is the sort of parody we need to see!
Muppets Kick Ass: Green Ass, Hit Pig, Blue Daddy & Red Prawn, from the always talented pop culture mashup artist James Hance.

C Is For Chewie

Pop artist James Hance has a "new exhibition of new and classic works by James Hance - Muppets, Fraggles, Goblins from the Labyrinth, Goonies, Superheroes, imaginary friends and childhood idols come to life (not literally, that would be terrifying) on canvas, for one night only - come enjoy a visual and audible feast for your misbehaving inner child!"

Saturday Morning Glory - Doodles From the Naughty Step is showing in Jacksonville, Fl., this Saturday, so I don't know how many of you could actually attend, but hopefully some of the prints will be on display at his site.

I don't know if c is for chewie is part of the show but his latest painting, Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem is.

That 90's Show

Pop artist Glen Brogan's piece, As Days Go By, for a 90s themed art show for the Autumn Society. Wow, what a strange mix of pop culture: Jessica Rabbit, Earl from Dinosaurs, Space Ghost, Egon from Ghostbusters, Kermit from Muppet Babies, Hulk Hogan, Carl Winslow from Family Matters wearing Darkwing Duck PJs. No idea what is sitting on his butt or the TV, though I'm sure its obvious to others.
