The Muppet Show Book

Enjoyable oversized TPB , from 1978.

Why buy this book?
Well, because the show:

"has brightened the life of millions, (235 million worldwide- Time Magazine) confused philosophers (632, including 83 Chinese, 46 Dutch, 38 Patagonians, 2 Americans, and many more), caused population explosions among pigs, frogs, bears, and other fauna, and baffled visitors from outer space (5- unidentified)...

Now Brings You
a priceless record of the first two year's shows, rendered in the form of fine art as befits the significance of the international event...(Tell your friends)"

I was both too old to love the muppets, and too young. (Just at that age when I thought things like the muppets weren''t cool, and before I embraced my second childhood.)

Included with the book is "Kermit's Christmas Diary", several pages which look to have been torn from a magazine. The Diary is cute, but the paper it was printed on has darkened,  which made the books first pages also dark. But, hey, the damage is done, and the drawings are cute, so I  left it there.

Look for this book in the media section.
