Does anyone remember this REALLY boring proffesor?

I only heard him on a reissue of the Muppet Letter album, a cassette from 1988. I still have it and it works good.

I saw a pitcure of him in Sesame Unpaved, the book. Unfortunately I donot think it is him. It looks more like Dr. Nobel Price (sp?)

Does anyone know what he looks like?

It should have a picture of him on the album cover. He has a blue bald head, white hair and mustache, and glasses.

I also remember him being in the panel for episode of that fun filled game show ,'What's My Part?'. He won accidentally when his foot fell asleep.

I remember the scene described in SS Unpaved. I saw it in German once. The one where Hastings has a lecture and keeps falling asleep while sad and happy Muppets pass him in the background. Kermit was sortta like the "host". Wish I had it on video.

I have one in Dutch of Kermit and Hastings demonstrating Parts of the Body. It's really nifty when Kermit shows how his knees work and does a little dance on the wall!
