I'm not laughing.

I'm taking this in complete seriousness.

Charles Dickens wrote The Christmas Carol with Muppets in mind.

You cannot persuade me to believe otherwise.

the muppets created dickens just so he could write that story

Charles Dickens had someone's hand up his butt the whole time.

Didn't have anything to do with the Muppets, though.

If he didn't have the Ghost of Christmas Present Muppet in mind when he wrote the character, he was a damned fool.
