Muppet Robin Hood Muppet Robin Hood is a four - part mini - series released as part of the Muppet comics from BOOM ! Studios . The comic is a retelling of the tale of Robin Hood with the Muppets . The comic is written by Tim Beedle with artwork by Armand Villavert Jr . The mini - series features special collectible covers by David Peterson and Shelli Paroline . In the comic Kermit the Frog stars as Robin Hood as he takes on the Sheriff of Nottingham ( Sam Eagle ) and the wicked Gonzo of Gisbourne . The Muppets previously spoofed Robin Hood on " The Muppet Show " in and in a storybook . Issue # 1 . When Sir Robin of Loxley ( Kermit ) returns to England after battling alongside King Richard in the Crusades , he finds the Loxley Swamp , his ancestral home since the times of Armand the Amphibious , has been converted into the Loxley Linx , a miniature golf course , by Prince John . The Sheriff of Nottingham ( Sam ) and Sir Guy of Gisbourne ( Gonzo , formerly Sir Guy of Oznog ) accuse Robin of trespassing , but when they realize his true identity , they try to arrest him on the grounds that his father was imprisoned for being in possession of mold . But Robin fights for his freedom , tricking Guy into giving up his sword . Robin meets a younger frog conveniently named Squirt ( two Robins in one story would be confusing , after all ) , and they escape to Sherwood Forest to join the other outlaws . Upon entering the Forest , Robin is confronted by an apparently undersized but still fairly massive ogre named Little John ( Sweetums ) who challenges him to a duel in exchange for passage across a bridge . Robin , though , skilled at the staff , knocks Little John into the river . ( As reported by sportscaster Lewis Kazagger , Robin scores the dive a 9 . 8 , Squirt a 10 . ) In exchange for saving the ogre from drowning ( by suggesting that he stand up in the barely knee deep water ) , Little John not only permits Robin entry to Sherwood Forest but also introduces him to his band of Merry Men : Much , the miller ' s son ( Scooter ) , who wishes to design clothing ; Willa Scarlet ( Janice ) , a Zen healer ; Alan - a - Dale ( Rowlf ) , the piano - playing wandering minstrel ; Arthur a Bland ( Rizzo ) ; a fishmonger ( Lew Zealand ) and a baker ( the Swedish Chef ) . Taking up the mantle of Robin Hood for the first time , Robin rallies these victims of Prince John ' s regime and swears to return his country to its people . Issue # 2 . Robin Hood and his merry men begin their quest to overthrow Prince John by robbing from his various business ventures ( including a castle made entirely of cheese , the Land of Imagination , and a sock museum ) and giving the money to the poor . The Sheriff of Nottingham and Sir Guy attempt to stop their doings , but are swiftly defeated by the heroes each time . Meanwhile , Maid Marian and her lady - in - waiting ( Mildred ) are visiting one of the Prince ' s bizarre tourist traps - the world ' s largest venus flytrap - and Maid Marian unexpectedly finds herself to be its next course . Luckily for her , it happens to be the merry men ' s next destination , and Robin Hood saves the day . Prince John ( Johnny Fiama ) has Sir Guy tortured for his failure to stop Robin Hood and his gang ( not surprisingly , Sir Guy likes this ) and decides to have a spy go into Sherwood Forest . The bravest knight in the land , Sir Swineman ( Link Hogthrob ) is his choice - but he is scared of raccoons . With all the other knights unavailable , Johnny must send his court jester , Tuck ( Fozzie Bear ) , disguised as a friar , to join the merry men as a spy . As Robin Hood takes Maid Marian back to Sherwood Forest to clean up , the two of them squabble . To shut her up , Robin Hood kisses Maid Marian on the lips - which causes her to karate - chop Robin Hood , sending him flying . It seems our hero has fallen in love ( as well as on his face ) . The phony Friar Tuck makes his way to the forest , attempting to set a trap by inviting them to Prince John ' s castle for the feast of Saint Shecky , the patron saint of propeller hats . As they arrive , they see a number of monsters guarding the gate . Little John has the gang disguise themselves as monsters ( so effectively that Arthur a Bland thinks the Langridge book can hear their screams ) and make their way into the castle . Once there , an epic food fight ensues , with Robin and his men victorious . Notes . Tim Beedle had to make a few changes in the casting . He had originally intended to use Gonzo as the sheriff and Rizzo as Guy of Gisbourne , but Disney was interested in seeing Sam the Eagle as the sheriff , so Beedle did some rearranging of the cast ( he had originally planned for Sam to play Will Scarlett ) .
