May 9th is Kermit's birthday!

Happy birthday, Kermit the Frog!!

From Pepe's book It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp:

Yes, I'll gladly share more of my Pepe merch! Besides the animator figure and the plush, I have the Vacation Pepe figure:

I also have this Disney pin, Pepe's purple nail polish from OPI's Muppet collection, and his book It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp:

And I have a box of Muppets Tonight Valentine's Day cards from 1997, that I got for one reason and one reason only.

Them!!!

And that's all of my Pepe merch... so far. Thanks for the ask, anon!

I love the illustrations in It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp

Pepe's cousin Manolo is not a wise investment (from It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp)

From the chapter on friendship in Pepe’s book, It’s Hard Out Here for a Shrimp

Pickup lines with Pepe

Pepe’s entire interview with Bonnie Hunt, because it’s not up on YouTube anymore but it needs to be seen to be believed

Pepe's father is Welsh, apparently! (From his book It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp - yes, I have a copy)

Today I bring you an audio interview with Pepe from 2008, where he's promoting his book It's Hard Out Here For A Shrimp. He talks about his origin story, and how his talents were discovered after he was caught in a fishing net with his family off the coast of Malaga. The whole interview is... a trip.
