Down To The Wire

Yes, my LOYAL FOLLOWERS, I'm nearly there after a LONG, LONG pregnancy! This baby co-created by Mookie and me is my biggest creation yet! Of course, in the Muppet World, you never know exactly what you're going to get. It/she/he might be finger puppet for all I know.

But I do know this: muppets take three times longer to conceive, incubate and birth than you humans, so it's a pretty big deal to get pregnant when you're a muppet!

I don't know if you can see my maternity wear very good in this photo, but it says "Born To Be Wild" in gold, and this is what I want: a wild and free child!! With human freedoms being curtailed all over the place, maybe we muppets will save the day with our "under-the-radar" actions. We're actually smarter than we look. Well, most of us anyway.

Hey, if any of you are pals with Stephen Colbert, tell him I want to be on tv with him too. As I sat here all bulged out with baby on board, I was so jealous of Big Bird and that old trash can grouch showing up on The Colbert Report! I think Stephen and I probably share the same genome, at least by the look of his one ear.Have you noticed it? I'm sure we're related. Stephen, are you listening????
