During the month of December, the University Libraries staff make lists and check them twice. What are these lists about? Anything! You can look at past years’ lists here and stay tuned for more lists!
Rizzo as Sally
Rizzo and Sally are both clever, strong-willed, and direct. They share a similar wise-cracking attitude and can balance being chill and buckling in to get stuff done!
Miss Piggy as Andrea
Andrea and Miss Piggy are both fashionable, confident, and seriously committed to their comedic bits. Although Andrea is much less drama, she is a diva in the best ways. Neither tolerate nonsense from frogs.
Gonzo as Tracy
Tracy and Gonzo are both silly, fun to be around, and really enjoy everything life has to offer. They both see art and beauty in unconventional places and value being good friends to those around them.
Beaker as Gabe
Gabe and Beaker are loyal friends, and they share the trait of being rather expressive. They both tolerate a lot of jokes and teasing but are good sports about it.
Bean Bunny as Anne
Bean Bunny and Anne both have such big hearts. They both sincerely want others to feel seen and cared about, so everyone can enjoy the fun!
I was hesitant to assign lesser known muppets, but I feel Anne would be happy with any muppet, which makes me especially certain of this choice.
Fozzie as Tori
Fozzie and Tori are both chaotic, creative, and super goofy! They are both optimists who love making people happy, but they also know when to balance silliness with earnestness. They are both sincere friends and the life of the party to those around them.
Kermit as Cara
Cara and Kermit are both kind-hearted and natural leaders. Although they are both silly, they can navigate chaos and always make sure everyone is included in the fun. They both care about being good neighbors and challenge those around them to be better.
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as Monique
Bunsen and Monique are both brilliant and measured. Although Bunsen’s experiments end up a lot more chaotically than Monique’s grounded research, they both share a strong dedication to curiosity and lifelong learning.
Rowlf as Chris
Chris and Rowlf are both laid-back and cool. As our resident musician, I wanted to make sure Chris’ pick was a similarly talented artist.
Scooter as Easton
I picked Scooter for myself because we are both reliable and inventive, but can both be a bit intense about order and timing.
The Electric Mayhem as Eileen
Eileen is so cool and always has the best stories. I couldn’t pick one muppet specifically because she has a lot of dichotomies: chill and adventurous, funny and earnest. I feel like she has also met everybody, which feels very Electric Mayhem to me.
Easton is a Research & Education Librarian and a big fan of puppets. Right now, he is probably making a zine or reading about an animal you’ve never heard of.
