Four Little Hop-Toads

The Four Little Hop-Toads (Ted, George, Bob, and an unnamed narrator) perform the first musical number, "Bang, Boom, Splat and Pow," in Kermit's Story, the first in Roger Langridge's four-issue run of The Muppet Show comic book.

When Ted finds some beans, he presents one to each of the other Little Hop-Toads. Ted explodes immediately upon eating his and is followed by George, Bob, and the narrator, whose demises are set off, respectively, by a nervous laugh, a hiccup, and a mere breath. Once all four have shuffled off their mortal coils, they are seen continuing their song merrily in heaven, dressed as angels. A happy ending is premature, though; when one of the Hop-Toads accidentally falls off the cloud to an undisclosed fate, the other three abruptly quit the number.

The Four Little Hop-Toads are exclusively seen during their performance of "Bang, Boom, Splat and Pow"; they are not seen backstage, either entering or leaving the stage.
