Preposterous
PERFORMER Kevin Clash
DEBUT 1989
Preposterous-Firehouse

Preposterous with Oscar's other pets in Sesame Street Visits the Firehouse.

Preposterous is Oscar's puppy who appeared on Sesame Street from season 20 through season 25. He is a groucher spaniel -- a Grouch dog breed. Oscar first adopts the puppy in Episode 2577.

Preposterous just lies around and doesn't do anything; he doesn't like to bark or play. Sometimes he would even attack Oscar. He's often seen chewing on a rubber pickle squeak toy.

The dog was originally used as Osvaldo, el Gruñón's dog Peligro in season 13. Following his tenure as Oscar's dog, the puppet would later be seen in the background of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and used as Diva Garbagedump's pet in "The Real Grouches of Sesame Street." The puppet was later modified into Oscar's pet cat, Fido, in "Elmo's World: Cats."
