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

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

Thought about making this for a while, but after seeing one too many people whine about the Muppets "sounding wrong" and one too many people vilifying Steve Whitmire and claiming that he was awful because Brian Henson said so (the idea that he could've been lying or paid off by Disney is just SO HARD to comprehend, apparently), I had to get it made and uploaded.

I wasn't sure if I should put Julianne Buescher on here or not since I've heard she's been let go from the Muppets (she didn't work on the recent special), but I figured "what the heck?" and put her in anyway.

I'm sure this is going to make a lot of people mad, but I really don't care at this point.

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 :-)
