Muppets

In non-political news, I was surfing around friendsfriends, and I saw someone with a Kermit/Miss Piggy icon. And for some reason that really started me pondering this pairing. I actually was thinking about them the whole time I was in line to vote. Are they really right for each other? I love both Kermit and Miss Piggy separately, but in some ways I think they're better apart than together. Maybe it's just that they embody a relationship dynamic I don't like too much: highly-strung diva with the long-suffering partner. I think they could both do better, though. Mayber Kermit with Scooter and Piggy with Fozzie Bear. Or do opposites always attract in the world of muppets?

What do you think? Is Kermit/Miss Piggy your muppet OTP, or do you have another?

Edited to add some pictures of muppets mentioned in the comments, behind the cut

Oh, definitely Gonzo/Chickens! Canonical polyamory! Who knew that the muppets were so subversive?

There's a bit in Muppet Treasure Island with Gonzo being tied to the rack and he tells them not to stop. And then there's the bit with him putting a starfish down his pants just to see how it would feel.

Not for kids, this stuff. ;-)
