The Fozzie has a tremendous wetted area in its tail, but still most of the tail would be blanketed by the fuselage at high angle of attacks.

The Kermit cruizer has a canard to screw up the air, so the main wing will have higher drag at cruise. It also can, at high pitchup rates, stall both canard and main wing.

I like the Kermit because it reminds me of this:

It also can, at high pitchup rates, stall both canard and main wing.

I thought one of the main advantages of the forward-swept wing was that it was hard to stall the wing tips.
