Richard Hunt and Scooter

Just found this picture online and thought it was really neat. Things are all Muppety on my blog lately, and I love it.

Re: Richard Hunt - go to http://metroland.net/art_murmur.html right now. After Thursday, it'll be at the site's back issue for Jan 7, 2010:

A Rainbow Culture

‘If you’re looking for subtext in this sketch, let’s just say, you’ll find some.”

Jessica Max Stein, author of the zine The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer, made this comment more than once during the course of her nearly two-hour overview of the life and work of Richard Hunt held at the Capital District Gay and Lesbian Community Center last Saturday, Jan. 2.

Peppering her talk with clips covering most of Richard’s most famous characters, including Scooter, Janice, Statler (of Statler and Waldorf, in the balcony of The Muppet Show), and Beaker, plus many others (such as Don Music, Gladys the Cow, and Placido Flamingo)...
Stein is working on a full-length biography of Hunt. To follow her progress, get the zine, or read excerpts from an interview with Hunt’s mother, visit jessica maxstein.com.

Thanks for the link! I need to get that zine. She makes a lot of great points about how his work was influenced by his culture. I'm excited to see she's working on a biography, that's going to be required reading for me.
