It's time to start the music. It's time to light the lights. It's time to meet the Muppets in the Muppet Show comic book tonight! We at Vulture are unapologetic in our Muppet fandom, and while we eagerly await Jason Segel's in-development Muppet movie, we've been enjoying the next best thing: Muppet Show comics, written and illustrated by the hilarious Roger Langridge.

Sublimely silly and totally faithful to the talking felt heads of our youth, The Muppet Show is the kind of comic you can't believe could be any good — until you read it, at which point you wish every comic were this charming and funny. Issue three hits comic-book stores today from Boom! Studios, and Vulture is proud to offer an exclusive four-page excerpt of the search for Gonzo's roots. It might not be high art, but it's definitely the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational comics excerpt we've ever run.
