Is Boober a nudist? :-)

[Jeffrey Gray]

On Warrick's FR site, there is a picture of some "naked" Fraggle puppets of Gobo, Red, Wembley, and Boober. However, seeing what the others look like without clothes makes me realize something: Boober is nude on the show! (Well, except for his hat...)

And I wonder...could Boober possibly be a nudist? And if he doesn't wear clothes, why is he always washing them?

LOL!!

Who knows, but if he is a nudist, I support his decision!!

*Runs thru house nekkid.*

Well, Boober DOES wear a scarf along with the hat too...but still that is considerably less than what the other main Fraggles wear (note the word main - several of the background Fraggles don't wear anything.)

Boober being Boober, I don't think it's that he's into nudism as he is fear of germs that clothes might carry (perhaps where he developed his laundry obsession). Interesting how the clothes he DOES wear (hat, scarf) are the items that one wears to keep from catching a cold!

BTW - great avatar, YCDTOTV was a true classic!

Great to see you back, DW!!

Never thought about the hat and scarf fighting off colds like that. You'd think, though, he'd be more susceptible to getting ill by living in a cave with water set up in the great hall, especially while getting his hands all wet washing clothes, where there aren't many clothes to be worn. Not to mention that being nekkid leaves certain orifices open through which some germ or bacteria could get and make one sicker.

What he SHOULD have done was just spray disinfectant on himself and then cover himself with celophane.

LOL, OMG, I never realized that either! How true!

If ya think about it, only Gobo, Red, and Wembley wore shirts. And while Mokey wore a "sweater", it wasn't the typical sweater, it was more like a robe-y thingy.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Now I wonder if Mokey was into 'flashing' people??

 

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

She did in "The Incredible Shrinking Mokey!" LOL!

Look what she does to Begooney in her song "I'd Give My Soul"!
