  5. Sweet contest. Favorite character is SkekSil from the dark crystal.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hi Cory, I'm a big fan of your work. Beaker would have to be my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  7. While I love and quote the Swedish Chef, I'm going to have to say that Beaker is my favoite muppet.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Heya Cory, Ralph the Dog all the way. :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Am I capable of limiting myself to a single favorite muppet? I'll pick good ol' Wembley today.

    Great looking work Cory!

  10. Statler & Waldorf... They both count as one Jim Henson character since you can't have one without the other. (Loved the Fraggles growing-up & I love your work with them! Well Done!)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Fozzy or Waldo. Is Waldo still around even? I'm not up to date on my Muppets canon.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh man so hard to say, probably either rowlf the dog or gonzo, but I have a special place in my heart for fozie too.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Aloysius Snuffleupagus!! Haha or Grover ;)

    ReplyDelete
  14. can't wait to see the published book

    ReplyDelete
  15. Boober! So great!

    Oh wait - I have gobs of favorite Henson characters, but from the Muppet Show, I always loved Rowlf - especially the punning doctor scenes.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I never win anything, but here goes nothing! I have some sketches you did for me in college. You misspelled my name. :) I ran across a picture of me and Justin waiting in the ER while your shoulder was located. As horrible as it was for you, I will never ever forget that day. I love your stuff, and maybe someday I will be able to afford it. Much love to Erin!

  17. You rock the Fraggles Cory!

    How can one choose a single favorite. Gonzo for now...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Great giveaway Cory! It's really hard to single out a favorite character, but I'd have to say Animal.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Uncle Travelling Matt said: "The magic is always there, as long as we keep looking for it... "

    Love your work! And I LOVE Jim Henson and all he has contributed to our imaginations. Can I choose a favorite film instead, where he has contributed? Because I have seen the Labyrinth about a million and then some times (I love Ludo!). Also the Swedish chef makes me laugh myself silly.

    Again, your work is amazing, and many of your prints are adorning my living room. Thank you for sharing stuff on this blog, and awesome give away x x x x

  24. I want this so badly.

  30. My 2-year-old just discovered "Fwaggles," and she's a big fan of your work. She'd love to have some more!

    ReplyDelete
  31. My fav Jim Henson character is Sgt. Floyd Pepper - when it comes to Fraggles, Boober is in the lead =)

    Though I have to say it's hard to pick just one!

    ReplyDelete
  32. OMG, i WANT this book!! where i can buy it?

    ReplyDelete
  33. You are too awesome! Fraggle Rock was one of my favorite shows as a kid - I loved Sprocket :D

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hmmm...I'd have to say Statler and Waldorf. I count them as one person

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have to say The Swedish Chef...sometimes you just have to go into Swedish Chef talk mode. Amazing job Cory!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Gonzo. He made me feel normal.

    ReplyDelete
  37. statler, not waldorf... He has been TOO mean to me.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I grew up with the Fraggles and your style suites them to a tee. It's almost as if they were made for you to draw. Simply gorgeous illustrations. I'll be looking for this book regardless if I win or not.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Does Mr. Bimble count?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Jim Henson will forever be a classic. I'm a huge fan of the Muppets as they were a strong part of society when I was growing up!

    Wonderful job on the book, and can't wait for it to come out!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hey Cory!
    My favorite Henson character(s) would be Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem (they count as one character, right?).

    My favorite Fraggle Rock character would be Boober. He's so superstitious & pessimistic:)

    Thanks for counting me in on the giveaway!
    -Will

    ReplyDelete
  42. Awe Geeze! I have to pick just one, huh? Ernie's great, but I think that Hoggle's personal journey resonates more.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Anonymous11:10 AM

    Ooh...a favorite by Jim Henson? I'm not sure I can pick just one. I do like Aughra from the Dark Crystal. But there are so many others, too!

    What a fun giveaway!

    Thanks, Cory!

  44. Gobo. Most certainly Gobo.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hey, man. I love your work and this book looks gorgeous. My favorite Muppet is one of the newer ones: Pepe the King Prawn. "I'm not a shrimp, okay." He did this documentary on the Weezer video they did a few years back, it was hilarious. You need to check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  46. My favorite character would definitely be the Swedish Chef. Especially when he makes doughnuts.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I remember watching this show with my family at nights. Some great memories so thanks for sharing this regardless of whether I get it or not.

    The most impactful work he did, for me, was the Skeksis from Dark Crystal and Frank Oz as Olgra.

    Man I love those!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I'm not sure which I'm more excited about. The chance at winning Fraggle art, or that so many people are just as excited as I am. As a long time Jim Henson adorer I'd like to send out a digital high-five to all of the other awesome fans on here!

    You all rock!

  50. Awe fantastic work! The doodle almost looks like it belongs on the cover page, awesome! As for my favorite character... The Yip Yip Martians! They were and still are my absolute favorite Muppets.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Love it!! Favorite Henson character has to be Mahna Mahna.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Animal for his drumming and lack of any inhibitions.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I liker Beaker, but the Bean Bunny is so adorable too.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Tough choice, but I think I'll go with Sam the Eagle. Especially the skit where Rowlf convinces him to sing Gilbert and Sullivan.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Beautiful artwork! Love seeing your pencils. Anyway... favorite Henson character? That's impossible. Let's just say the La Choy Dragon and let that spill into all others who came after. Cantus the Minstrel was always way cool to me too.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Rowlf the dog is my favorite, he's so classy and talented - I feel a special connection to the fraggles (maybe because my friends always teased me about being a fraggle for some reason - not sure why??) - love your work and thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I can't pick a favorite! If I have to choose, I supposed I'd pick Yoda. He's so beautiful.

    But I did have a crush on Grover as a child.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I also can't pick a favorite. Everytime I read another name I think, "Oh, that's my favorite!" Perhaps Cookie Monster. I would love to eat cookies like that. Or Gonzo 'cause he was a big weirdo.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Lovely! And my favouriiiite... I dunno I really like Kermit, is that cliche to say? Kermit in the reporter outfit.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Would love to win this for my Henson-crazy son. I think Uncle Traveling Matt is his favorite Fraggle but Honzo is his favorite Muppet.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I've always been a fan of Beaker.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Hi Corey - wonderful giveaway - and fabulous work! Too many favorites..but as a child, Kermit was tops! : )

    ReplyDelete
  63. So Awesome! I always loved Janice from Electric Mayhem.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I love the swedish chef, because he's hilarious and talks nonsense.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Cume-a here-a leettle-a cheeckens, get in zee pot while-a I enter zee contest! Bork Bork Bork!

    Can't wait to indoctrinate the next generation of Henson fans by sharing this with my daughter.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Gersh gurndy morn-dee burn-dee, burn-dee.... The Swedish chef of course :D

    Gosh, brings back so many memories :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. oh I love the Swedish Cheg; just thinking of him makes me smile. My maiden name is Baker and I have over 200 chefs around my home, so the Swedish Chef is my partner in fun.
