Anson Anderson is an aardvark who appears in the first issue of The Muppet Show Comic Book: Family Reunion. Billed as "The Anvil-juggling anteater from Antiverp," Anson gets assistance from Sweetums, who throws the anvils for him to catch, but the anvils never seem to come back down (leading to a running gag involving anvils throughout the rest of the comic book).
