The Muppet Show Comic Book : Family Reunion " Family Reunion " is the second story arc in " The Muppet Show Comic Book " series , comprising issues # 4 - 7 . The story is written by Roger Langridge and drawn by Amy Mebberson . This was the first story arc in which the individual issues don ' t have their own title . The main plot line of the story arc has the Muppets reunited with Scooter ' s sister , Skeeter , making a rare appearance in adult form . Although Skeeter is present in all four issues , each issue has focus on a different Muppet relative ( Skeeter in part 1 , Andy and Randy Pig in part 2 , Robin the Frog in part 3 , and Ma Bear in part 4 ) . With the exception of Robin ( whose own story ends with an appearance by an unknown Muppet relative ) , each relative was not a major character on " The Muppet Show " ( Ma Bear appeared in of the series ) . In addition to the family reunion theme of the story arc , each issue begins with two celestial beings who may or may not be Statler and Waldorf controlling the events of the issues by playing with chess pieces resembling the characters , bringing in new pieces to cause more chaos . According to Roger Langridge , The issue begins with two celestial beings who resemble ( but are not ) Statler and Waldorf playing a game of chess , with pieces resembling the various Muppet characters . After thinking it can ' t get more chaotic , the one resembling Statler says they have to put something new into the game to make it more chaotic , and that new element is Scooter ' s sister , Skeeter , who comes to the theater to apply for a job . Issue # 4 . Kermit decides to make her a stagehand , and has her first duty be to get Miss Piggy , who had become angry and locked herself into her dressing room , to come out of her dressing room , which she succeeds in doing . Scooter starts to get jealous of his sister solving everybody ' s problems instead of him , and also has conflict with her as she continually calls Scooter a nerd . Skeeter agrees to help Gonzo with his cannon - shooting act , but when Gonzo trips over an anvil , Skeeter has to go on in his place . She flies form the cannon and lands safely into a vat of tapioca pudding , but then becomes surprised when Gonzo thanks Scooter instead of Skeeter ; Turns out that Scooter had used math calculations to make sure the cannon was positioned correctly so that she ' d land safely . Skeeter apologizes for calling Scooter a nerd , and the two go out for dinner . A running gag starts where Anson Anderson has Sweetums throw anvils for him to catch , but cannot catch them . Finally , Sweetums throws it up so high that it vanishes , which leads to running gags with a falling anvil ( such as Rizzo in the background holding up an umbrella to stop water from falling on him , but something " much " bigger comes down ) . Sketches include Samlet , Muppet Labs , and Pigs in Space . Issue # 5 . The two celestial beings once again try to make things more chaotic , so they bring in Andy and Randy Pig . At the theater , Miss Piggy informs Kermit that the two pigs are coming to the theater after a misunderstanding ( Piggy previously asked them to play in the creek , but the two , wearing corn cobs in their ears , misheard it as an invitation to visit for a week ) . Andy and Randy arrive having trouble getting the door open , and when Skeeter opens it for them , they consider her a genius . After angering Miss Piggy by their mistakes , Skeeter suggests they get Miss Piggy a thank - you gift for inviting them to the theater . They raise money by doing odd jobs around the theater , getting paid in advance under the condition they leave as soon as they are done . After the show ends , Andy and Randy give Miss Piggy her gift : A voucher for two weeks at Gracious Acres , the nation ' s leading charm school . But this only angers her further , as she thinks they think she ' s not elegant enough , but they say it was all Skeeter ' s idea . Sketches include " The Girl with the Goo - Goo Eyes " starring Bobby Benson ' s Baby Band , a Swedish Chef sketch , Planet Koozebane , Veterinarian ' s Hospital , Pigs in Space , and the closing number , Pigmalion . Issue # 6 . The two celestial beings decide to add an element to their game , in the form of a mysterious cross - eyed lady who is completely unknown to the rest of the cast . Meanwhile , at the Muppet Theater , Robin starts to feel a little unappreciated when Skeeter notices the cross - eyed woman looking at Robin and taking notes . She notices that her bag says " C . O . " and assumes it means " County Orphanage " . Later , Kermit asks Robin to take up a collection ( a duty that Piggy quit doing ) , and Robin starts to wonder if he ' d be better off at an orphanage . He eventually asks Beauregard to take over when he has to perform on - stage , and after the performance , Skeeter tells Robin that she heard the cross - eyed lady mention that the moving truck will arrive at the theater tonight . Later , Robin and Skeeter overhear Kermit and the cross - eyed lady talking , and come to the conclusion that Kermit is in on having Robin sent to an orphanage . Robin then decides to run away from home , and Skeeter agrees to accompany him . They meet a bum , Short - Sighted Billy Silverfish , who ( accompanied by members of The Gogolala Jubilee Jugband ) sings a song about his homeless life , which prompts Robin to decide he ' d rather be at an orphanage than homeless . As Robin and Skeeter leave , it ' s revealed to the reader that Short - Sighted Billy Silverfish is actually Kermit ( who had overheard them talking earlier ) in disguise . Robin confronts the lady , who reveals that the " C . O . " on her bag stood for " Carpet Overstock " , that her Acute Strabismus ( or " Cross - eyedness " ) makes her appear to be looking at many things she isn ' t looking at , and that the only notes she had been taking were measurements for a new carpet . Afterwards , Kermit let ' s Robin join him in the closing number . After the closing number , Robin wants to tell Kermit about how he often has to help around the theater and how unappreciated he feels about it , but before he can Kermit tells Robin that the collection they were making earlier was to buy Robin a new bike as a way of saying " thank you " for all the little work Robin does around the theater . He says that Beauregard worked twice as hard to collect the money needed , and remarks that someday he ' ll have to ask Beauregard what his secret is . After everybody leaves , Beauregard thanks his identical Cousin Mo for helping him . On - stage acts include " Walk Like a Chicken " with Gonzo and the Chickens , The Frog Scouts in an all - mine production of " Death of a Salesman " , Wayne and Wanda singing " Mighty Like a Rose " , " Pigs in Space " , and a closing number featuring Kermit and Robin , backed by Dr . Teeth and the Electric Dustbin . A running gag involves characters being seen by their legs only . The " A " cover shows a close - up of Robin with other characters , who due to Robin ' s size are only seen below the waist . An early scene shows a member of the audience sitting upside - down . Another early scene shows Robin sorting prop legs ( and asking how many are really needed ) . And two sketches involve a baby carriage , containing a baby monster whose only visible features are its feet , as well as a massive fist from the Wayne and Wanda sketch . Issue # 7 . Fozzie gets a letter from his mother , informing him that she ' ll be visiting the theater , and plans on reuniting him with a former childhood acquaintance . This makes Fozzie nervous , because he had told her that he ' s a detective ' s assistant ( to the legendary Wormwood Soames , in fact ) , and also worries that his mom will want to set her up with his old friend , so Skeeter agrees to pretend to be Fozzie ' s girlfriend . However , upon meeting Fozzie ' s mother , Skeeter claims to be Wormwood Soams as well . Meanwhile , the two celestial beings notice game pieces that neither of them had put into their game , realising that their game has taken a life of it ' s own . They decide to sit back , watch how it plays out , and talk about it to their grandchildren . Back at the theater , Fozzie learns that his childhood friend Dora will be coming to watch the show . Fozzie and Skeeter check behind a curtain and think that a big bear sitting behind Fozzie ' s mom is her ( Fozzie hadn ' t seen Dora in years ) . Fozzie drags Skeeter on - stage for a musical performance , thinking their boyfriend - girlfriend act would be more convincing if they did something on - stage together . Dora arrives during the performance , and they see that Dora is quite attractive . After the performance , Fozzie admits that he is not really Wormwood Soames ' assistant and that Skeeter isn ' t really his girlfriend . Fozzie ' s mom then convinces him that she was proud of him for accomplishing his dream of becoming a comedian despite not being rich and famous . Afterwards , Skeeter becomes inspired to go back to college , and upon leaving the theater , she gets a new mission from the real Wormwood Soames . Sometime later Scooter gets a letter from Skeeter , in which she admits that she is actually Wormwood Soames ' assistant while also attending college . However , they think she is just trying to impress them . Skeeter tells Wormwood about her visit , but states that Scooter wouldn ' t believe what she left out , as a variety of chaotic events ensue in the area . In the background , the celestial Waldorf throws the chess game off a cloud .
