Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I mean, he might have liked it, it's not a bad movie and it's not a terrible adaptation of the story either. Probably would have to first explain the context of what the muppets are and a bit about the various characters to really get some of it though
Puppets have been used in comedy and cultural commentary since Punch & Judy and before. Dickens would have dug it.
I meant more the context of the individual characters. Like, having Statler and Waldorf as Marley is funnier if you know who those two are
Also he'd need to know who Bob Marley was in order get the Jacob and Robert gag...
