Nah, I think that was nature.

I don't know, but I'm sure that for vore fetishists out there, the Muppets must seem like porn to them.

I mean, you know that 2 STUPID DOGS cartoon where that witch fattened up Little Red Riding Hood, ate her, then squirted cheddar whizzeh on Big Dog and Little Dog and ate them too? Yeah, apparently some guy on YouTube uploaded that clip specifically for fapping purposes.

You know what I did? I wanted to send my sister a REALLY scary Halloween card last year, so I drew "Ernie" (from the M song) with the real Ernie cowering from him in terror! (Just like the rest of us do when watching Peppermint Park!)

Wow, so I think I might've found something out about the show.

So I was poking around archive.org when I found this puppetry reel of this marionettist named Phillip Huber who is apparently kind of well-known in puppetry circles because he worked on Oz, The Great and Powerful: https://archive.org/details/PhillipHuberPuppetryCareer. If you look around the 0:04 mark, there is this marionette that looks suspiciously like the marionette from the Peppermint Park segment "Red".

I then did a Google search of Phillip Huber, and this video came up:

Based off these two videos, the two marionettes pretty much have to be the same as they look identical.

So basically the question now is did people know about this guy's involvement at all or not, because I've certainly never heard him mentioned. Also, don't know if the guy has died or not; and also, if the "Red" segment was produced specifically for Peppermint Park itself or just a stock segment they just threw in there. (I'm betting the latter, but you never know.)

Peppermint Park now has its own Wikipedia page along with a Wiki.

Phillip Huber sounds like a real talented puppeteer. He was the guy behind the street puppet show in the beginning of Being John Malkovich, where John Cusack gets his lights punched out by an angry father who is apparently under the impression that all puppetry is for kids.

He even did some work on John Denver & The Muppets, as mentioned in the reel.

Welp, here ya go, Volume 6 has finally been found, and guess what? It's a bout FEELINGS. So get ready to watch some emotionless puppets talking about FEELINGS.
