Notes:I like to play my crack straight so my idea was to put our guys in a photoshopped background, give the whole thing the look of 'manipped screencap'. I quite like the result but it would've been so much easier to draw the background from scratch. (There was much cursing.) Maybe there's a way to speed up the process, I just haven't found it yet. The idea of combining photoshopped caps with drawings still intrigues me even though I remember, at the time, saying something like 'shoot me if I ever try this again'.

I know she's probably doing something highly technical, but it really just looks like she's trying to write with a pen in each hand.

That's just what she's doing: she's typing the weekly status report. Actually my first idea was to show Sam's report and intersperse it with scenes from the muppetified city. I just didn't know if I'd have enough time for that so I went with the one pic plus icons instead.

Oh, of course! Her muppet fingers must be too big to use a keyboard! Man, being turned into a muppet is even worse than I thought.
