Sidewalk Creatures are the term used by Uncle Traveling Matt to describe parking meters in Episode 110: Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk of Fraggle Rock. Uncle Matt describes the sidewalk creature as a sad little animal, rooted to the ground and unable to gather food. Hunger caused their faces to tern red (the "expiration" flag), but kind Silly Creatures drop food into their mouths. Uncle Matt gives one a coin, and believes he's finally found a friend in Outer Space.
