Early Muppets merchandise from 1966.

I didn't think the Muppets were that old. The original Muppet Show started in 1976. Sesame Street began in 1969...Rowlf was never on it except maybe as a guest cameo. Did they begin life as toys, or is this from some obscure British comedy? (does research)...holy cow...Sam and Friends started in 1955. Kermit began life as a lizard!

Or some Slim Whitman records.
And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him.

Henson and the Muppets made frequent TV appearances on other shows.

Rowlf was probably more familiar to more people than Kermit as he would appear on numerous variety shows and late night talk shows.

I had forgotten how completely over the top computer ads were at the time, especially compared to their actual abilities.

I once thought this would be cool to do, though with a TNG shuttlecraft. Then I thought about it a bit more, and realized I would look like a dumbass.

That said, I really regret not following up on that glass cockpit for cars idea I had back in the 90's. :(

Reminds of a Tales From the Crypt (or might have been Creepy or Twisted Tales) cover where a knockout dame is leading this line of men into what looks like a Southern bawdy house, but is actually a cannibal slaughterhouse. She's the Judas Goat. Can't find the image online, but its truly a classic.
