Looks alright, I guess. Mr. M somehow sounds like an impersonation of Teddy from Bob's Burgers.

Those honestly look like puppets I would have built. :smirk:

I also like the lispy Mad Hatter-esque voice that Mister D was provided with in the show. Seems more fitting for a dude downright deranged delivering his deep-fried delights like a drug dealer. :big_grin:

Here it is, the first episode of the new "Letter People Land".
Like the original, we start with Mr. M, who's preparing yet another trip to the market on a Monday.
As corny a start as the 70s series, more or less. Though I wonder how they're gonna squeeze in the "CAPITAL/lowercase" concept into the series. Every Letter Person intro episode from the original series had a demonstration of it somewhere in there.
There's a brief cameo from another Letter Person at the very end...

They really seem to have got it down in essence. Seems that whoever's puppeteering Mr. M is trying to get the same movements down, but somehow it doesn't quite work as Mr. M looks much smaller this time, and the original one was much larger and unwieldy. Other than that, it does seem like an earlier Letter People skit.

I got a strange observation, though. The stock footage of Mayo is clearly from Spongebob. Same font and flowers and everything.

To draw her actually sneezing would have been came out a little awkward for me, so it was a clever little substitute. Glad you enjoyed it!

The new Mr. M episode was quite interesting. Even though Mr. M doesn't have moveable fingers anymore like in the original series. And that Muffin reminds me of another talking muffin I once saw on Sesame Street. And the new Mr. C looks more cooler.
