The most useless information i knew since last year is that both this guys are puppeteered and voiced by the same person...so everytime i saw that one tutter swearing outtakes clip i immediately think about walter swearing

Happy Birthday to Muppet performer Peter Linz! (He's in the tie-dyed shirt at the top in a cameo in Muppets from Space.)

obsessed with these behind-the-scenes pics of Peter Linz performing a Muppet ghost

hi everyone. welcome to my powerpoint. today i will be explaining how LIPS is from my hometown of ATLANTA, GEORGIA!!!!

for starters, steve whitmire (lips' original puppeteer) and peter linz (lips' current puppeteer) were both born and grew up in the atlanta area!

plus, lips looks a LOT like steve did in 1980 (lips' debut) so we can only assume he shares some things in common with his puppeteer!

in an interview with bill baretta, peter linz said that when finding lips' voice, he drew inspiration from a mechanic named sonny! sonny's service center was located in scottdale georgia which is only about 20 minutes out of atlanta. lips' main vocal inspiration was an atlanta resident!

steve has stated that lips was named after one of his favorite movies, the rocky horror picture show! atlanta has had an active rocky horror subculture since the late 70's and steve grew up attending screenings in downtown atlanta.

and, although the group was founded long after lips' debut, atlanta's resident shadowcast is named LIPS down on dixie!

and, in muppets canon, kermit's first trip to atlanta was in 1978 for the opening of the center for puppetry arts! so it's possible kermit met lips in atlanta and brought him onboard for the next season of the muppet show!

anyway. i think a lot of my connection to lips comes from this headcanon of mine! my original powerpoint was just something silly to show my friend, but i wanted to make a post about it too so i could put this hc out there :-)

I've always thought about drawing this character as a human. What would this character look like as a human? Peter Linz is a good example of that!

Matt Vogel has been performing Kermit since 2017 after Steve Whitmire sadly got fired by Disney. So, bring back Whitmire or even better recast Kermit and hire Peter Linz who’s more like Jim (Henson’s legacy) and Steve (Whitmire’s support and legacy). Matt’s Kermit is not as nostalgic as Henson or Whitmire’s but he did a effective job for keeping Kermit’s voice and personality alive and true to his character but I think Peter should do Kermit, he be perfect. If Peter do Ernie he should do Kermit too, he should do both roles while Matt Vogel does a excellent job for doing roles of Big Bird, Count von Count, and other muppet characters.
