It’s time to put the ring up It’s time to light the lights. . .

We complete the Here Comes Tomorrow collection as Muppet Historian and Podcaster Becca Petunia (@tallgirlpetunia.bsky.social, herecomestomorrow.net, toughpigs.com) breaks it down Felt style on the Kayfabe of Sesame Street.

Discussions here in:
-If you meet a muppet and address the puppeteer you are the weird one
-Kermit’s Drag Queen Past
-Is Muppet’s from Space ACTUALLY bad or will Ella be forever vindicated okay?

Ella Tailor (Wednesday Night Fake Fights) has a Theory of Everything

Bugs Maytrix (Podatag Podcast, Attic Magic) has a Magic Card for Everything.

Together we are going to prove that Everything is Wrestling.
