With fans getting more excited about the premiere of the sixth season of [AMC's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-delorean-popcorn) advertising drama Mad Men, it's understandable that there has been a lot of ingenious and eye-catching [fan tribute artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-and-sesame-street) created for this somber series, but it's fan work like Jennifer Lewis's Mad Men Muppets that need to be truly praised for taking a comical spin on this usually downbeat show.

By adding distinct hues, hilarious captions and Muppet-like features to each of these integral character's faces, Jennifer Lewis's Mad Men Muppets look like what would happen after [Muppet creator Jim Henson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-mills-x-jim-henson-company) spent a day on set of this 60s-centric TV show.

Images of Betty, Don Draper, Peggy, Pete, Sterling and red head Bombshell Joan are just some examples of the great character-to-Muppet appearance alterations that Lewis was able to whip together.
