For those of you who have access to a clip or picture of the old skit where Kermit tries to get brown Grover to go into a box inhabited by a larger monster, take a good look. Examine the flower shaped designs on the pink box in the skit. Now, take a look at the very beginning of one of those Baker Falling Down skits. The animated flowered design at the very beginning looks extremely similar to the sketches on the pink box. Check it out.

Both clips show signs of Jim's handiwork. He had a background in graphic arts
which definitely came in handy. He also had a keen sense of color, and he always strove to find different color schemes that would show up good on telelvision. Groovy!
