#46: scop

halfway through the tale
the old scop scoffed, coughed, dropped, died
story's end with him

Illustration from Jim Hensen's The Storyteller. Jim Hensen arguably did more for storytelling on television and in the modern era than anyone. The many characters he and his crew created are enduring, many with their own fan clubs. The Muppets series is one of my all-time favorites. The list of his contributions is long.

Jim, rest in peace.
