filkertomGreat sadness. Muppeteer Jerry Nelson has passed away at the age of 78.
Mr. Nelson did so many characters we love -- Gobo Fraggle, Dr. Strangepork, Lew Zealand, Marjory the Trash Heap, Mr. Snuffaluffagus, Sherlock Hemlock, The Amazing Mumford.... The news reports all say his most famous character was The Count, but I'd vote for Kermit's nephew Robin.
Condolences, hugs, and gentle songs to his family, friends, and the entire Muppet team. Rest well, sir, and thank you.
