As a framing sequence, I liked the various game permutations. It reminded me of “Mornington Crescent”.

“Halfway Down the Stairs” charted at #7 in the UK.

Skeeter’s anonymity is a result of Disney’s approval process. Not having been a fan of Muppet Babies, I quite liked her “new” persona. I especially enjoyed the LaChoy dragon’s cameo!

@Roger: I don’t have it in front of me, but I think they actually say her name TWICE at the end.

Wonder if we’ll ever get an explanation. I’m still going with the theory that there was some kind of trademark snag with the Muppet Babies rightsholders that got ironed out by the time the last issue hit. Timing seems a bit too convenient, though.

Good review! I really enjoy the Muppet Show comic. I’m not sure that Robin or any of his relatives were the the family reunion part of issue #6, though. While they certainly were the focus of the comic, I thought the family reunion reference was the reveal on the final page.

Also, Skeeter’s full name is used once in issue #7 when Scooter is reading a letter from her at the end of the issue. I am curious as to why that’s the only time it’s used in the storyline.
