The lost screenplay by Jim Henson brought to life by Roger
Langridge
In the spring of 1968, Jim Henson and his longtime writing partner
were working together to create an original Thanksgiving TV special
called The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow, which was to be
directed by Jim and feature original songs by Joe Raposo of Sesame
Street fame. Henson went as far as building the puppets for the
special, but no network committed to the project and the script was
filed away in the Jim Henson Company Archives. After the success of
Archaia's Eisner Award-winning graphic novel Jim Henson's Tale of
Sand, we are proud to partner with the Jim Henson Company to bring
to life another previously unknown piece of the Jim Henson Legacy.
The only thing more exciting than finding the script for the
project was securing the talents of the amazing Roger Langridge
(writer and illustrator of the Eisner Award-winning Snarked) to
adapt and illustrate the project Eisner and Harvey-Award winner
Roger Langridge is the mastermind behind Snarked and the beloved
run of The Muppet Show comics, and now he gets to bring to life
hilarious, never-before-seen puppet creations by Jim Henson in an
oversized all-ages adventure. Turkey Hollow is a picturesque town
where hundreds of years ago, unbeknownst to the citizens, a
meteorite landed nearby a small brook on the outskirts of town. One
Thanksgiving, while young Timmy Henderson practices his guitar,
he's accompanied by strange, unearthly, musical sounds. That
meteorite wasn't a rock at all but an egg holding seven furry,
goofy monsters, each with a unique musical sound. After the initial
shock, Timmy befriends the lovable creatures following him all
around Turkey Hollow. Not everyone takes a liking to the visitors
though and it's up to Timmy to protect his new friends and save
Thanksgiving

The setting for Seeing Red: A Memoir, is the growing Central Oregon
community in the mid-1970s. A young mental health professional is
drafted and easily seduced into a position of leadership for which
he is woefully ill-prepared and decidedly un-suited. Seeing Red: A
Memoir, is a love story embedded in a struggle to grow local mental
health services in a time of fiscal austerity and a battle to
provide actual services to clients in a public sector bureaucracy
that demands organizational meetings and paperwork. As in Jim's
previous writings, clients provide the story with courage and
wisdom and employees demonstrate weaknesses, wonders and humor.
Finding one's place in a complex and demanding world is a theme
which runs through the entire narrative.
With an early 1970s setting in Oregon's Umpqua River valley, this
book shares the courage, wisdom, humor and folly of ordinary people
through the extraordinary lens of a youthful mental health
professional. Author Jim Henson draws upon 40 years of professional
experience as a clinical social worker in the process of
illuminating the lives of clinic employees and the individuals and
families they served. The readers of this book will enjoy this
unique opportunity to be observers inside the community, inside the
clinic and inside the personal connections between client and
clinician. Think Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon or James Herriot's
Yorkshire countryside and you are almost there.
