Muppet Babies #24

Marie Severin's cover for this March 1988 Marvel issue plunges baby Kermit and Miss Piggy into a Wild West adventure, the two riding a rocking horse through a desert landscape complete with cacti, a bison, and a band of toy-room cowboys and Native American figures — while a wide-eyed Kermit wonders aloud, "Are you SURE it's only our imagination?" Baby Fozzie joins the chaotic fun in the background as scattered nursery items like a baby bottle, blocks, and a crayon remind us this frontier is entirely playroom-born. Billed as a "photo-comic adventure" and tied to the story "The Mild, Wild West!", this issue captures exactly the cheerful, imagination-fueled spirit that made Jim Henson's Muppet Babies such a delight.
