Oh dear! Big Bird and Gonzo? (GASP!) I mean...what would their children look like?
Just imagine a bunch of
these things flying out of cannons and singing ABC-DEF-GHI!
The thing we gotta remember about Gonzo is that he admits that "all chickens look the same to me". A bird's a bird to him. Had Foghorn Leghorn been there (or more feasibly Fletcher Bird), Gonzo would've said those exact same lines to them as he did to Big Bird.
Also, Gonzo's libido is active, but since Gonzo doesn't know what he is and has never met a "Gonzoette", (at this time) his ideas of romance are all screwed up. Jerry Juhl could have written about making him fall in love with a footstool or a red snapper and it would make as much sense as anything else Gonzo does.
