Don't feel bad. Many people found my puppet breakdancing troupe cartoon obscure.
But just to help educate you in these characters, H.R. Pufnstuf was a kid's show from the late 60's/early 70's starring mister Pufnstuf himself, a big goofy looking dragon. The show was produced by Syd and Marty Krofft, puppeteering brothers who rose to popularity around the same timeline as Jim Henson, though not nearly as successfully. Steve Whitmire, Kermit's current puppeteer, got his earliest puppeteering experience performing for the Kroffts in their Atlanta theme park. Goriddle Gorilla was a character from an early 80's kids show called The Great Space Coaster. He was performed by Kevin Clash in his pre-Muppets days.
What country do you originate from, Mrs Pepper? Maybe I could incorporate some famous puppet characters from your homeland in some future cartoon! That'd be a lot of fun.
