i stumbled across this in high school and its always held a close place in my image collection.

wasnt sure where to post it, but if anyone is worth a discussion, how about jim henson?

for you younger peeps, he was the OG tim burton... pushing the boundaries of character design and medium use. so many wonderful moments from the muppet show, and its movies.

anyone have any fond memories of his work?

get your flu shots, kids!

Always remember, without Jim Henson, there would be no Yoda. For his creation of Yoda in the OG Star Wars alone he has a place in so many people's hearts.

i totally forgot... honestly, the first thing that pops into my head thinking of yoda is frank oz. did henson have anything to do with the wookie design?

Wow. You broke me with this. Thank you so much. Guess I needed it.

I had a waterproof bath time book as a child with Bert and Ernie in it… “Rubber duckie, you’re the one… you make bath time so much fun!”

This hit so hard and has me in search of lost time. Thank you 💜

I've never seen this before. It put me in a mood... Him and Jim Varney 😢. Childhood. Do you know any more about the artist? Can't find anything.

Thanks for sharing it.

i dont. i found this on a piece of paper ~1994, and then found it again digitally a decade later.

o0o0 thank you for mentioning jim varney, he was also a wonderful human whom i miss dearly

i still use 'vern' in my everyday parlance with coworkers, most think im old and silly, and im ok with that.

I know what you mean Vern!

Looking around at wikipedia, some classes at University of Maryland started building a sculpture in 1994, I wonder if a student there drew this?

Well I guess we're crying today, thanks.
