Friendly Monsters?
Puppet Friends?
Have you run across any ways of referring to Muppets without being litigated to death. (Not that anyone would notice if i made a muppet game.) On the one hand, there is the "This is a work of parody" defense. It's not like the internet isn't already awash in Muppet references.
I have had this sketch from The State in my head called Eating Muppet. I think it could be a fun one shot game. I'm planning on working it up for my friends to play, but I'm trying to figure out if I should just use the Muppet name, or try some derivative?
