Such a good read. Highlights: – Oscar (the best of all muppets) is called Akhtar in Pakistan and lives in an oil barrel.– The Swedish Chef is maybe based on a real person named Lars “Kuprik” Bäckman.– Miss Piggy is from Iowa and had to make money in beauty pageants because her father died young and her mother was mean.– Bert and Ernie are straight and alive.– Grover is called Archibaldo in several Latin American countries. In Norway he is Gunnar.– Elmo humbly started out as some extra red puppet laying around the studio. (I hate Elmo).– Who’s ever heard of Pepe the King Prawn?– Beaker can beatbox.
