Pigs in Space is a 1983 storybook based on the Muppet Show sketch, "Pigs in Space". While hurtling through space one day, Dr. Strangepork announces that he has created a cure for the rash that Miss Piggy gets from outer space. Unfortunately, it is a foul smelling ointment that causes the houseplants to wilt, the computer to shut down, and the clocks to stop. At the urgings of Captain Link Hogthrob and First Mate Piggy, Strangepork agrees to bury the nasty ointment on the next planet they land on.
