For all fellow muppet fans out there, if you haven’t discovered it already, go check out Ryan Dosier’s blog, The Muppet Mindset.

Ryan is just about the most dedicated muppet fan I ever came across. He writes interesting muppet articles almost on a daily basis. On Muppet Mindset, you’ll find the latest news on muppet TV shows, films, comics and other products. There are frequent interviews with key members of the cast and crew of various muppet productions. I for instance enjoyed  reading about Jerry Nelson recently. Jerry was part of the classic group of Muppet Show puppeteers, performing characters such as Floyd Pepper, Robin, Crazy Harry, Lew Zealand, and many many others. One of Ryan’s ideas is to make his blog an outlet for muppet fans to express their fandom through articles, fan art etc. Yesterday’s post was thus a humble contribution from yours truly.

The first torch runner is none other than Jonas Darnell, creator of Herman Hedning and one of Sweden’s most successful cartoonists.

Jonas chose J.Wellington Wimpy (Frasse), Popeye’s faithful hamburger eating friend, who were considered “too intellectual” for the animated series. If you like Popeye, make sure not to miss coming back to this great Popeye blog on a daily basis until christmas and check out the cool fan art. Yours truly will be represented in there somewhere with a super extraordinarily magnificent interpretation of…

With this piece of Nintendo humor (we love to make jokes about the things we love, right?) I’m actually applying for jobs at a number of game magazines. Are there perhaps magazines outside Sweden that would want to publish cartoons such as these? Please let me know if you know! And keep your fingers crossed for me that someone wants to pay me for my efforts! 🙂

For once, I’ll let you know what the Swedish text says: “After 10 hours of Super Mario Galaxy, Mario makes a sensational discovery”.
