Fozzie Bear believes in the power of persistence.

He’s an old-school Vaudeville comedian. He believes in his jokes, and he pushes them through to the punchline no matter how many stops and starts he faces along the way from frogs who don’t understand comedic timing.

Fozzie believes in his act. He commits to it with his entire furry self.

Whatever opposition you face this Friday, be persistent. Commit to your cause. And do it with a Muppet-like smile.
