Minor Comics Mentions

Brief mentions of the Muppets in newspaper comics.

The Family Circus
The Family Circus has appeared in newspapers since 1960, focusing on the whimsical antics of four siblings, and occasionally their imaginary friend Not Me and his circle. The daily strip, circa 1980, included an entry in which Billy cruelly calls attention to sister Dolly's porcine appearance, by likening her to Miss Piggy.

Hi and Lois
A spin-off of Mort Walker's Beetle Bailey, the character Ditto is portrayed in a July 9, 1980 strip as fiercely devoted to Sesame Street.
