Muppetational May 2025 day 21 – a Muppet ghost

Marker drawing of the Gambler character as depicted when Kenny Rogers sang his song "The Gambler" on "The Muppet Show." He sits dead on a train seat while his ghost standing above him looks content, possibly because he knew when to fold 'em. The drawing is signed with my "RV" signature glyph and dated 5-21-25. The black marker used to draw the image rests on the table above the card.

When the prompt was to draw a Muppet Ghost I chose the Gambler from the Kenny Rogers song of the same name, as performed by Rogers during the Muppet Show episode he hosted. I watched that on TV when I was probably way too young to compute seeing a Muppet actually die, rise out of his body as a ghost, regard his own corpse, and do a postmortem soft-shoe dance finale.
