With the 'Muppets Most Wanted' movie out, it's no wonder artist Nick Hoffman was inspired to create a Muppet-themed piece. The Muppets are the most famous and iconic band of puppets in the world. The trademark animal-like, fleece, foamy bodies are the main reason we love them. But what would they look like if they were all human?
Illustrator Nick Hoffman takes the essence of each distinct Muppet personality to create a humanoid version of our beloved characters. Of course, the human Muppets such as Bunsen Honeydew and Dr. Teeth haven't changed much in the revamped Muppet poster, but the strictly animal Muppets have become almost completely unrecognizable. Kermit is a thin man in a nerdy green suit, Gonzo is a purple-haired creep and Miss Piggy is a plump blond.
See if you can figure out all the new human Muppets.
