Muppet Mentions

• In Gaiman's short story, "The Goldfish Pool and Other Stories," different characters tell different rumors about who was with John Belushi when he died. Gaiman wrote, "I expected another confidential couple of stars: to be told that John Belushi had kicked the bucket in company with Julie Andrews and Miss Piggy the Muppet."
