The Great Muppet Alphabet (the sequel)

One of the most nagging issues I had with my original Muppet Alphabet was that there were some key players like Floyd and Scooter who didn't make the cut simply because of the first letter in their names. So I've decided to give them a chance in The Great Muppet Alphabet (the sequel). Or perhaps I should have called it The Muppets Take Lowercase Letters...

With the first Muppet Alphabet, I tried to stick pretty closely to characters from the original Muppet Show and original three movies (with the exception of Pepe). I've expanded this one out of desire and necessity to include Muppets from some of the more recent films, the Jim Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight, but it is still mostly focused on older characters. And, as with the first one, I still had to make some tough cuts. Sorry Sweetums, Marvin Suggs, the Snowths and George the Janitor (you just didn't look right with the smile of a small g).

Key: Angus McGonagle, Beauregard, Camilla, Doglion, Eric the Parrot, Floyd, Gary, Link Hogthrob, Inspector LaBrea, Dr. Julius Strangepork, Female Koozebanian Creature, Lips, Mahna Mahna, Nigel, Old Tom, Pops, Queen, Rizzo, Scooter, Thog, Uncle J.P. Grosse, Dr. Phil van Neuter, Walter, Blue Extreme, Youknow Bird, Zeke

The Periodic Table of the Muppets

A comprehensive depiction of many memorable Muppet characters from throughout the years (and some not-so-memorable ones as well). Each square represents a different character and indicates the primary Muppeteer(s) for that character, as well as the year and production in which the character made its debut. Borders align with hair/hat colour, background aligns with skin/fur colour, and colour of the abbreviated name represents nose colour (for characters with noses that is). The separate sections are based on the show the characters were either created for or most often associated with. The icons within each section are then organized by year of creation. Tweet

Marvelphabet

I'd long considered doing a superhero-themed alphabet but I'd resisted for a variety of reasons, including the sheer immense scope of the superhero universe and the fact that there were other similar pieces out there. Ultimately, however, superheroes and comics were such an important part of my childhood that I couldn't ignore them. So I added a bit of a challenge: I wanted to represent 26 heroes and 26 villains from a specific universe. I wanted to stick to their face and upper torso only (which meant, among other things, no wheelchair for "X" or extra arms for "o") Introducing.... the Marvelphabet: Also available in straight hero and villain versions:   Have fun guessing who is who.
