Well folks, things are not good out in the real world at the moment. The fascists have taken power again. Global warming is out of control. Southern California is literally a fiery hellscape. LGBTQI+ rights are at risk. Reproductive rights are at risk. Heck, all of our rights are at risk. Incoming tariffs are about to make things a lot more expensive. School shootings are still a common occurrence. All of our favorite social media apps are imploding before our eyes. Oh, and the Nazis are back.

Today on ToughPigs, we’re so excited to share another one of our favorite Muppet fan artists with you. Amanda Conrad is a senior illustrator at Hallmark, and she’s created dozens of different character illustrations across all sorts of franchises in her signature, extremely cute style. Of course, that means Amanda has also illustrated the Muppets on several occasions, and I adore every one of her pieces.

Statler and Waldorf are so old, I can’t imagine them playing a video game. Not even Pong. So I was a little surprised to see that they made an appearance at The Game Awards. Okay, not that surprised. Those geezers would show up to any show with a balcony, especially if it’s ripe for heckling.
