Bear in mind that Boom still has some Disney properties licensed, the classic Mickey and Darkwing Duck and such, so how much they can say may be limited for wanting to maintain a good relationship with a business partner.

I asked about the book at the Boom panel at ECCC, and got a no comment. As long at it’s “we can’t talk about it” rather than “we’ve lost the rights”, I figure there’s hope. But with a new Langridge book from Boom on the way I don’t know if he could do it even if the rights are resolved.

This turn of events is certainly disappointing for those of us who love Langridge’s Muppets. It is a sadly fitting bookend (temporary, I hope) considering that the book was inspired by Muppet Show material he did for Disney Adventures that got canceled before most of it could be printed, and which also sat in limbo for years. It’s one of the pitfalls of working with big corporations’ licensed characters, and one reason I’m happy that he’s going back to his own concepts–as much as I adored his Muppet work.
