The Muppets (comic strip)

In 1981, Guy Gilchrist, with his brother Brad Gilchrist as co-writer, created the Jim Henson's Muppets comic strip for the late, great Jim Henson.

Guy was only 24 years old when the strip began.

The Muppets comic strip was printed worldwide in over 660 newspapers daily from 1981 - 1986.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy® Reagan invited Guy to be guest of honor at the Easter At The White House celebration. It was later that week that Guy’s Muppets art work was permanently enshrined in the Smithsonian Institute. Guy’s Muppet artwork was chosen to be part of the touring “Art Of The Muppets” exhibit and has appeared in museums worldwide.
