Thanks again, all, for the kind words. And yes,
When you Wish Upon a Frog is now

It's been a crazy couple of years in general, so hopefully this was a bright point for you as it was for me.
And since you know I love irony, here's a little bit I found in one of my early posts that you might appreciate:
In order to keep this timeline from spiraling into a 500-page epic that I and many readers don’t have time for, I will keep things fairly constrained butterfly-wise.
Yea, about that, past me...
I wonder if he used his actual Muppets or just generic fuzzy monsters.
Generic fuzzy monsters of the type he doodled in the margins of everything.
I know you didn't plan for this post to be the last, but I think it's great how Book I starts with Jim trying to find a way to gain more creative freedom by entering a big cooperation and ends with a him using his own money to help someone retain their creative freedom from a big cooperation.
A happy little accident so to speak
It also starts with Bernie helping Jim find a new path to creative freedom and Jim paying it forwards. And Book II begins with the Henson Children and what they're up to.
Happy accidents indeed!!
I'd love to see what Lisa Henson is doing at Fox for instance.
Speaking of which...
Wow, what a day to *finally* get caught up! Only took me... Just about this whole awful year.
This has been an excellent timeline to read, the Where The Wild Things Are really hit home & I straight up cried halfway through.
Can't wait to see what's in store!
Glad you made it,
@MightyXRay, and just in time to catch the next bus!
I hope to see you all in Book II!
