Part IX: Broken Hearts
But what about Piggy and Kermit? What happened to them? Well.
Nobody really knew. Kermit did some Sesame Street and spent as much time as possible with his nephew Robin, and Piggy did some commercials, but other than that, the two bright-shining stars seemed to drop off the face of the earth. They almost never gave interviews—especially surprising, since Miss Piggy used to give them at the rate of three a day—and even when an interviewer could get one of them to agree to be interviewed, it was always by phone. And neither Kermit nor Piggy ever answered questions about each other or much of anything else but their current project.
Not even the other Muppets knew what was going on with those two. Both Kermit and Piggy kept in touch with their old friends, of course, but their letters and phone calls were always slightly superficial. For instance, the letters never had a return address and the phone calls were always initiated by Kermit or Piggy. Nobody knew how to directly contact them. They also never talked about the past. They never talked about the good old days. And they never talked about the movie that almost was.
