- <p> Pity Miss Piggy. Just when she thought she'd get to join
- Mickey Mouse and his gang, the deal fell apart. All because her
- company, Henson Associates, couldn't agree with his, the Walt
- Disney Co., on a merger. But now the Hensons are upset that
- Disney is still using Miss Piggy and her Muppet friends in ads
- and souvenirs. Last week they slapped Disney with a lawsuit,
- charging copyright infringement. Disney claims they have an
- "implied understanding" to use the Muppets, but try telling Miss
- Piggy. The sow has taken to her chaise with an ice pack and
- won't comment.
