Muppet Babies #13

Marie Severin's cover for this 1987 Star Comics entry sets the playful tone perfectly: baby Kermit, dressed in a deerstalker cap and Sherlock Holmes-style coat and clutching a pipe, peers out from a soap bubble with a suitably serious detective's frown — "Kermlock Holmes" is on the case! Floating in the surrounding bubbles are baby Miss Piggy, Foozie, and Gonzo, each tossing off sudsy puns about being washed up and having a bubbly personality. With Laura Hitchcock writing "The Strange Case of the Missing Mermaid Costume" and Severin handling pencils, inks, and colors throughout, this issue is a warm, witty treat for fans of the beloved characters.
