Artist's Description

New commission: a Muppet version of Fred Zinnemann's THE DAY OF THE JACKAL featuring Shiku (a jackal from SISMIPUR, the Bangladeshi co-production of SESAME STREET), Kermit, and Fozzie. Mixed media on 8.5 X 11" bristol board.

Blacklisted

    Both The Day of the Jackal and the 1971 book of the same name that it's based upon earned awards - the book a Best Novel Edgar Award and the film a BAFTA award for best editing.

    Notably, the book included a description of how to acquire a fake identity (by using the name of a dead kid) and how to use that identity to get a fake UK port; this loophole (known as the "Day of the Jackal fraud") would finally be eliminated in 2007.
