Doc



Doc is an inventor, and the only regular human character in Fraggle Rock. He lives with his dog, Sprocket. Doc spends a lot of his time in his workshop, a refurbished old room which is directly connected to the caves of Fraggle Rock via a hole in the wall.

As a human, Doc is considered one of the "silly creature" by the Fraggles. He often lives up to this designation with his silly schemes and inventions, but he is always enthusiastic about his work, and is a good friend to Sprocket. Doc's accomplishments include being named Man of the Year by the North American Society of Tinkerers, and he has an off-and-on friendship/rivalry with next door neighbor Ned Shimmelfinny.

When Uncle Traveling Matt sends postcards to Gobo, they are delivered to Doc, who promptly throws them away. This makes it necessary for Gobo to venture into Doc's workshop to retrieve the postcards.

Doc also appeared in A Muppet Family Christmas, accompanied by Sprocket, having rented Ma Bear's cottage for Christmas.
