But he's not even mentioned in the book---maybe we should write to Henson for clarifcation, though I'm still with the Richard theory, since it's actually credited.

Well, Davis said that he performed the front half and the voice at one point, and was picked by Kermit Love to replace Jerry Nelson. Also, he said he has performed Forgetful Jones (probably while Richard was in London) and Slimey the Worm (probaby prior to 1980-81, when Robinson joined the Muppets).

I refuse to believe that Davis is a liar, as some on rec.arts.henson+muppets believe when the issue originally came up.

There is this one old sketch with Forgetful Jones from the late 70s where he forgot to brush his teeth, and his voice sounded very different! I thought it sounded a bit like Jerry Nelson, but maybe it was that Michael Earl Davis. And also, Clementine was in that sketch, who was performed by Brian Muehl at the time. Was Brian Muehl mentioned at all in the book? I don't think he was.

*who always thinks it'd be funny to type "UNTIE!!" instead of "UNITE!!" in a serious message*
