Jim Henson is my biggest inspiration, but I will add a couple more:
Frank Oz, because he's been working for about 50 years, and that's been a true gift.
Jerry Nelson, because his singing is awesome.
Dav Pilkey, because his books are so silly, and he has inspired me in my fan fiction.
Dave Goelz, because he performs one of my favorite characters, Gonzo.
Richard Hunt, because he seemed like he was always very joyful and happy.
Moe Howard, because he gets to slap people. His job must've been fun.
Larry Fine, because even though he cried a lot, he would always get his work done.
Curly Howard, because he is so funny.
Shemp Howard, because he is my favorite Three Stooge.
Stan Laurel, because he is just so amazing, and he barely even speaks.
Oliver Hardy, because he contributed to Stan Laurel, so that means he is awesome.
Bud Abbott, because he plays a GREAT straight man.
Lou Costello, because he just wanted to make people laugh, like the rest of ^^^^^^.
Dr. Seuss, because his doodles could be really funny.
Walt Disney, because I love his animation!!!
