Does anybody suppose that the novel Gulliver's Travels may have formed some subtle inspiration to Jim for the concept of his Fraggle Rock characters?

I think the sizes of the little people of Lilliput and the giants of Brobdingnag and poor old Gulliver in the middle would probably correspond pretty closely to the doozers and the gorgs next to the fraggles.

But I've just remembered that the size chart shows that we humans are much bigger than fraggles and much smaller than gorgs so just imagine the Lilliputians may actually be the same size as fraggles and the gorgs and the Brobdingnagians. Well it blows my mind trying to think which of them would be the bigger or if they'd be the same:crazy: :big_grin: LOL!
