This just in, Disney Adventures magazine will soon be printing brand new Muppet comic strips! The series will be drawn by comic book artist Roger Langridge. On Langridge?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s blog, he wrote:
?¢‚Ǩ?ìCurtrently working on: The Muppets! Disney Adventures Magazine are about to start a regular Muppets comic strip, written and drawn by Yours Truly. I have to admit this is a bit of a thrill – I realised only a few years ago how much of an influence the original, 1970s Muppet Show was on my comics work. So to be actually doing it is quite a weird feeling.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù (sp)
Of course, this is not the first time the Muppets have appeared in comic strip-form. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìThe Muppets?¢‚Ǩ¬ù was written and drawn by Guy and Brad Gilchrist from 1981 to 1986.
I should also add that I used to have a subscription to Disney Adventures, which I collected for the Bone comic features, by Jeff Smith. It made me into a lifetime Bone fan, so who knows? Maybe Disney is actually taking steps toward getting new fans as obsessed as us!
In any case, I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m sure we can all agree that new Muppet stuffs is good newses.
