Hey! That's a great drawing of Big Mean Carl, beaker. All I know is he eats cute little bunnies. Eeeeeekkkkkk!
Thanks! It was my entry I did for the Threadless Muppet shirt context. Though in retrospect I realize I made his proportion way off.

Everything he "eats" comes back up...it's kind of like a kangaroo putting something in its pouch.

But as Hubert says in a post below, he definitely is one of the most "Muppety"(in a zany wacky classic sense) of all the MT era characters. I definitely hope he and Pepe are in the new muppet film. If they make him in plush or figural form, I would be beyond overjoyed.

I agree, that's a great drawing!

Ya know, I was kind of felt like Carl was almost a parody of the Muppet monsters. Usually, a Muppet monster would just eat another character, and be done with it. Carl always has to announce it first. "Hi, I'm Carl, and I'm gonna eat this bunny!"
