Skeeter



Skeeter is Scooter's twin sister, seen mostly in cartoon form, mainly in Muppet Babies and Muppet Kids.

Skeeter was created for Muppet Babies in 1984. With Miss Piggy being the only major female character in the Muppet Show cast Skeeter was introduced as another female figure - an athletic young girl, Skeeter balances Piggy's ultra-feminine role.

However, Skeeter was always voiced by a male actor, like many female Muppets. In the first two seasons of Muppet Babies, Skeeter's voice was performed by Howie Mandel. In later seasons, Frank Welker took over the role.

Skeeter would later be seen in poser form in Muppet Babies' Classic Children's Tales and Muppet Babies' Classic Nursery Rhymes. Skeeter never existed in puppet form.

Older Skeeter
Kid Skeeter, a pre-teen Skeeter, appeared in many Muppet Kids books and products.

Skeeter has only appeared once as a grown-up with the Muppet cast (On a Carl's Jr. Muppet Parade of Stars Toys promotional bag). In MuppetZine issue 3 (1993), Muppet Babies storyboard director Scott Shaw wrote: "As for the adult Skeeter, Henson Associates art director Michael Frith once explained that she's now a famous explorer, never seen again after an expedition to the jungles of the Amazon!"
