I fondly remember Beaker. He reminded me of young Billy the Son (or vice-versa).
I love the Muppets. And Beaker and Gonzo were two of my favorites along with Statler and Waldorf.
Anyway, having named Beaker because of her beak, it seemed only right to name the other one Gonzo.
So there they are. All I need is a red velvet cover for them so I can raise and lower the curtain each day!
