Herry Monster Through the Years

The Evolution of Herry Monster (1970-present)

Image	As seen in	Year	Notes
	Sesame Street early Season 2	1970	The first Herry puppet debuts in episode 0131, the Season 2 premiere. This puppet has a hairy blue nose that is sometimes hard to distinguish from the rest of his face.
	Sesame Street later Season 2	1971	Herry is rebuilt with a smooth blue nose. He also has a tongue.

	Sesame Street Season 10	1978-1986	The design is similar to the previous puppet with some minor changes; the most evident being a slightly thinner brow and nose, which will continue to morph and decrease in size over the next couple of decades.
	Sesame Street Season 18	1986-1992	Herry's nose now reaches to the tip of his eyebrow (that is when it’s fully raised), filling the gap in-between. Because of this, his nose is now somewhat tear-drop shaped.
	Sesame Street Season 20	1988-1997, 2008-present	Herry is resculpted with a more positive expression and a different head shape, resulting in a smaller mouth and a shorter eyebrow. He has longer, shaggier fur, and a shorter nose.
	Sesame Street Season 29	1997-2004	Herry is rebuilt again with a head shape resembling the 70’s puppet. Likewise, his nose is larger. However, it also becomes a solid tear-drop shape, causing his eyes to further slant towards each other. His eyebrow is at its thinnest. By 2001 (with the exception of The Street We Live On, as well as several Macy’s Parades), Herry has been mostly retired from the show. Though, in his brief return for the 2008 Macy’s Parade and a cameo in Episode 4206, he’s appeared to have reverted back to the previous design.
