Description
This is a new comic strip I intend to draw called "Gorch But Not Forgotten." It's essentially an ongoing tribute cartoon to the lesser known or forgotten Muppets, with the cast of the old Saturday Night Live Gorch episodes as the featured players.

The plot is, King Ploobis and his brood have been out of work since their brief stay at SNL ran its course. Now they're doing whatever they must to turn a buck, while interacting with other obscure Muppet characters and occasionally reminiscing about the "good ol' days." Given that the Gorch characters were more adult than say the Fraggles, this comic will be a but more adult as well (as anyone who's seen my work will no doubt anticipate). But there's going to be loads of cool cameos and stuff happening that you wouldn't ever expect. I hope to surprise and entertain, myself if no one else.

Back in January of '06 I drew a Gorch strip that kicked off this long-simmering idea (in fact, this first strip is a re-tread of that original comic, though with far better art and more accurate depictions of the characters, in my opinion [link] ). Then a couple nights ago I watched the old Gorch sketches on the SNL season 1 DVD's, and the inspiration damn near drowned me. I was up all that night with swarms of ideas for the comic. I wrote them all down and, either until I run out of ideas or grow bored of the project, I'm gonna try to keep this baby going.

I'm going to post new ones as often as I can here on DA. It's not for profit, and it isn't with the permission of the Hensons'. It's just something I'm doing for fun, and if others get a kick out of it, all the better.
