Another thing I would do: I would make a deal with whoever owns the distrbution rights to the 1980s comic strip and release a book or two of every Muppet comic strip, in chronological order.

Sounds like a great idea, minor muppetz! I would buy that book. :big_grin: I guess we have a lot of that on Muppet Wiki, but having a physical tome with nice glossy pictures still beats out internet in my opinion.

I have my idea. What if Scooter was kidnapped and tied up by the evil Uncle Deadly. And the guest tried to find Scooter in the disney studios.
