Doesn't it seem like Richard Hunt was underused?

Didn't Richard also do the rear end of Snuffy back then as well?

Probably, but he barely had any lines ever.

In Follow that Bird, his only lines I could tell was, "Hmm...I guess you're right." said by Gladys the cow and some guy in a window shouting, "Wow! Big Bird's back!"

He also may have performed one of the Feathered Friends and/or the Grouch chorus.

Mbybe your right about the secondary parts, but in you go to www.imdb.com/title/tt0063951/ and scroll down to Richard Hunt's name, It has a list of all the characters names he has preformed on SS.

But most of those characters were only in 1/10 of the episodes, but were regular enough to be credited.

The most frequently showed ones were Gladys and Don Music, but they were only in around 1/4 of the episodes or maybe less.

That and some of the characters were very short lived.

Have any of Richard Hunt's Sesame Street characters (not counting Elmo) ever starred in any storybooks?

No way is Richard underused. He's awesome, anytime I watch any of the classic muppets, I hear his voice all over the place. True he may not have been an A-lister, but it's not like he was reduced to a coffee boy or something. And you also have to keep in mind, at that time, he was sort of like the "little brother" of the troupe.

Don Music was in a 1989 storybook.

On way you know he was underused and not appreciated enough is that not one of his characters was recast!
