The Muppet Show: The Comic Book #11
In "Muppet Mash: The Curse Of Beaker," Dr. Honeydew's latest invention—a giant Beaker robot—runs into trouble with power surges, sparking chaos that even knocks out Piggy's hair. Meanwhile, Beaker quietly swaps in a poob for the robot's brain, leading to surprisingly effective results. Roger Langridge, writing and drawing with his signature charm, delivers a delightfully absurd mix of Muppet Labs, Veterinarian's Hospital, musical numbers, and a hilarious short take on "Who's On First" by Statler and Waldorf—all in a 2.99 USD comic from 2010.

Dr. Honeydew is creating a giant Beaker robot to help with science tasks and keeps blowing out the power, and eventually Piggy's hair too. Beaker substitutes a poob for the brain in the robot, and the hamster-like creature solves the power problem. In the meantime we see an episode each of Muppet Labs; Veterinarian's Hospital, a few song-and-dance routines, and Statler and Waldorf do a short version of the "Who's On First" routine.
