2014 “Fozzie Jonn Jonzz print” by Joshua Esselbrugge

"The seventh in a series of my version of the Muppet’s Justice League – Fozzie Bear as the Martian Manhunter, J’onn J’onzz. Fozzie was drawn with pencil on paper, and then inked using a copic marker. I then scan the image onto my computer and use Illustrator to colour between the lines."
There's a whole gallery of the artist's Justice League of Muppets, plus a few Avengers. They're quite cute, but I have trouble thinking of a worse mash-up than Martian Manhunter and Fozzie the Bear. J'Onn's more of a Sam Eagle or Statler, right? Even Beaker would be a better fit.

Both Sam Eagle and Statler are problematic. Sam is a super patriot to the point of seeming to be a chauvinist while Statler is merely grumpy. Fozzy is an even poorer choice for personality as J'Onn's humor is subtle. I am not sure that there is a good Muppets analog for J'Onn. Heck, for Muppet guests, maybe J'Onn as Johnny Cash.

Well, now I've seen everything.

J'onn would be Skeeter--the smart, quiet one that flies under the radar. Wait, or is it Scooter?

Frank, you may have hit open it. There is an air of sorrow about J'Onn, Also, this covers the invisibility/intangibility angle.
