Origins[]
Link Hogthrob is a vain Muppet pig who was an actor on the Muppet Show. Link starred in the "Pigs in Space" segment as dashing and cowardly captain of the USS Swinetrek, alongside Doctor Strangepork and Miss Piggy.
Muppet*Vision 3D[]
When the Muppets demonstrated "Muppet*Vision 3D" in the Grand Arts Theatre, Link provided security as part of the "Pork Security Co.". However, Link also submitted paperwork to take a vacation between the years of 1987 and 2006. Signs also identified that the best way to get security's attention was by exclaiming there were donuts.
Appearances[]
Muppet*Vision 3D[]
Link appears on signs for the Pork Security Company as a security guard at Grand Arts Theatre.[1] In the queue for the Disney California Adventure version of the attraction, a request to leave for a vacation between 1987 and 2006 appeared in the security office, while identifying him as working in security.
Trivia[]
- Both versions of Muppet*Vision 3D had the SSS Swinetrek appear in the queue.
- Link's role as security may be inspired by how he played the chief in "Bear on Patrol" sketches in the Muppet Show. This, and the allusion to donuts, are a play on how the American police are "Pigs".
