Reality Check by Dave Whamond for January 15, 2023

The Great Muppet Bake Off

Ralph is hoping Jim will drop a cookie

That would have been really dark if he removed oven-roasted bird.

Is Frank Oz there somewhere, too? He’s the (original) one who voiced Cookie Monster (when Jim Henson was still alive).

Maybe Miss Piggy should have been his wife?

There are many people who died to young, but he is one of the first i think of.

Kermit, I prefer a warm pan to a luke-warm pun.

Must be a flashback?

Awww☹️ He’s gone now but the program lives on! My kids were fortunate to watch Sesame St from the beginning‼️

I wonder if he ever did that!? I mean they basically are just skinny oven mitts that talk. And that would have been great humor.

And for some reason, now I want cookies!

… and cuppy cakes! ツ

Thanks, Jim. For everything.

I liked the old guys in the balcony and the drumming Muppet, “Animal” … COOOKIES

RIP Jim!!!

This comic reminds me of a song, “Never Trust a Puppet” by Heywood Banks. You have to wait for the punchline at the end.

I see dead people.

Too bad he can’t anymore.

Really a brilliant strip – pity we lost a brilliant man…

Too soon?

At home with Jim ‘n’ Jane. Jane Nebel Henson worked with Jim on “Sam and Friends” and ran the show while he was away. She was a fine puppeteer and collaborator in her own right. Brilliant people both!
