Miffed Missy
</hdr><body>
<p>By Sophfronia Scott/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<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.
