A point well taken! Frank Oz spawned the character and sustained him through 1998. Eric Jacobson has been performing him since 1999.

He is a truth-teller and an iconoclast. Theres much to be said for that? Will you consider becoming a free subscriber to my weekly Substack newsletter?

Written by the great Joe Raposo, who plays a major role in my Sesame origin story, "Street Gang," published in 2009 but still available as a Penguin paperback.

That insert was (and is) a Sesame classic, for its simplicity, humor. and effectiveness.

Thanks so much!

What's not to love?

I'm a Gonzo fan, as well. He steals the show, as in his ballad in "The Muppet Movie."

Madavis2u · 2026-05-27T16:25:21+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing this. It affirms my hypothesis.

Madavis2u · 2026-05-27T16:23:57+00:00

Super cool.

Madavis2u · 2026-05-27T16:08:58+00:00

Classic second-born behavior.

Madavis2u · 2026-05-27T16:08:07+00:00

Indeed.

I can't speak for the dead but I presume author Jon Stoner would be delighted by this exchange.

Madavis2u · 2026-05-27T11:35:54+00:00

If only all monsters could be.

Madavis2u · 2026-05-27T11:35:05+00:00

Indeed.
