Hand Puppet?
I don't know why Splurge's appearance on Sesame Street is described as a hand puppet. This seems to be a full-bodied Muppet to me. --Dave Splurge 02:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- It looks just like a large hand puppet to me, with no feet shown. See also Behemoth. Plus, it's clearly distinct from the other version, so it would make more sens, to me anyway, for there to be a smaller (comparatively) version for use behind the Sesame Street set. It would help if someone who has the actual clip for that sketch could weigh in, since one can only assume so much from the still image, but it's clearly a different puppet from the other version. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 03:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, when you describe Behemoth, now I see where you're coming from. Personally, I still see this Splurge appearance as roughly the same size as he's seen in Hey Cinderella, etc; a full-bodied costume. But clearly, other people see it differently than I do.
- I think this has been on YouTube before; if I find it again, I'll post the link here. Anyone else here who knows the skit, what are your thoughts? --Dave Splurge 03:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Color
He looks blue, not purple. Unless the picture quality is just crap.--Pantalones 21:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that is rather weird. He is clearly blue in that Ed Sullivan clip, but he's referred to as purple in Hey Cinderella -- Jog 23:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
