Muppetational May 2025 day 15 – a patient on Dr. Bob’s hospital bed

Marker drawing of a "Veterinarian's Hospital" sketch from "The Muppet Show" with Rowlf as Dr. Bob and Miss Piggy and Janice as his nurses. Lying on the operating table in front of them is Tom Servo, the gumball-machine-headed robot from "Mystery Science Theater 3000." Rowlf is saying, "Nurse Piggy, take away all his movie tickets! Nurse Janice, loan me a quarter for a gumball!" The drawing is signed with my "RV" signature glyph and dated 5-15-25. The pink, brown, grey, turquoise, yellow, orange, green, red, and black markers used to draw the image rest on the table surrounding the card.

When the time came to choose a patient for Dr. Bob of the “Veterinarian’s Hospital” recurring Muppet Show sketch, I decided to give one of my favorite non-Muppet puppets the guest spot: Tom Servo of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
