“Menomena” Muppet 8.5

My own bristles have been compared to those of Fraggles and Muppets on myriad occasions. A recent comparison was the “Menomena” Muppet.

Who can disagree with the fun-loving spirit of a beard like this? The more stable red chin strap provides balance to the floppity wild fire on top. And while he may bear himself zealously, confused when he is scolded for crossing the line, the beard makes it clear that this excitable boy is actually a man merely lost in the moment and not some immature brat misbehaving — which is the very reason the song is so endearing.
