All Muppet fans ought to be following the series --- you can even sing along to the musical numbers! I'm lucky enough to be illustrating a special issue of the Muppet Show right now.

Of course, with a show in Providence this weekend it might be put aside for a bit. For a related dino-link, check out the Nova's <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/microraptor/program.html">Four-Winged Dinosaur</a> episode.Shelli Parolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02192215252971416130noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084825255564359602.post-12034026724966316022008-09-26T17:41:00.000-07:002008-09-27T09:37:17.040-07:00They're back?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbGzIyhTbx7qIB-gMuSmhDHb4DfsV9TCdDrhIszv2H_8xlFJ-kMW7okFgFGZ_cB64CrzH5O4B9jA1Ft0Hv-BzYqJqMh9qSQur8S0vL8mKLn3tp2X1Ff17qUnNx21iQaISiSxLCKu9Q9Y/s1600-h/dinos.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbGzIyhTbx7qIB-gMuSmhDHb4DfsV9TCdDrhIszv2H_8xlFJ-kMW7okFgFGZ_cB64CrzH5O4B9jA1Ft0Hv-BzYqJqMh9qSQur8S0vL8mKLn3tp2X1Ff17qUnNx21iQaISiSxLCKu9Q9Y/s320/dinos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250496704222286050" border="0" /></a>So I'm working on a new book, and thought I'd start posting about it in my new blog. I've been meaning to make another kid-friendly comic, and thought dinosaurs would be a great theme. The main story is a <strike>modern</strike> prehistoric take on the tale of Sysiphus.

Above is Pachycephalosaurus --- although I'd say the drawings only 75% done. More to come!Shelli Parolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02192215252971416130noreply@blogger.com2
