11	[[http://occasionalcomics.com/muppet-thor/ Muppet Thor]]by Caanan
12	* Recommended by Dreamer
13	* ''Status'': Complete
14	* Synopsis: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A crossover between The Muppets And The Thor movie]]. The characterizations are great, and there's a really sweet scene in the end [[spoiler: involving Kermit going back in time to see Jim Henson for one last time]]
15	** Tropers/{{Roo}}: It's a 24-hour comic, and a pretty sweet and funny one at that. Gonzo's personality seems a little off, taking the DeadpanSnarker route a little too far (the lines are funny, but don't really fit Gonzo -- they would have worked better if it had been Rizzo who said them), but that's a nitpick. This is ''definitely'' worth a read.

31	[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2604613/1/Who_Framed_bKermit_b_the_bFrog_b Who Framed Kermit the Frog]] by Bob Wright
32	* Recommended by Tropers/{{Roo}}
33	* ''Status'': Complete
34	* ''Synopsis:'' It's a spoof of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit,'' only with Muppets instead of Toons. OriginalCharacter Sam Klubb, {{Expy}} of Eddie Valiant, finds himself not only stuck with Kermit the Frog who's being framed for the murder of [[Film/ItsAVeryMerryMuppetChristmasMovie Rachel Bitterman]], but also having to find the missing will of Creator/JimHenson in order to save the Muppets from the tyranny of [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Jareth the Goblin King]], the newly-appointed High Judge of the Muppetville Circuit Court of Appeals.
35	** ''Comments:'' Fair's fair: For a spoof, this story is a little ''too'' faithful to the original movie, to the point of re-hashing a number of the jokes and gags, and sometimes the Muppets of the story feels more like Toons than Muppets -- a little more originality would have been good here. I still recommend it, though, because the ''real'' fun here is the tons of Muppet characters who show up for bigger or smaller cameos. From well-known Muppets to the most obscure ones, characters from just about every Jim Henson-produced show appear; not only ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' and ''Series/SesameStreet'', but also ''Series/FraggleRock'', ''Film/EmmetOttersJugBandChristmas'', ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'', ''{{Series/Dinosaurs}}'' and several others -- even [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]] puts in an appearance as the honorary "Elder of Muppetville."
