Colonel Claghound



Colonel Claghound appeared in Episode 204: Of Mutts and Mayors of Dog City. A hearty businessman with a Texan accent, the Colonel works on a business deal with Terri Springer, which is soured after he lends his cowboy hat to Artie Springer.

The Colonel is recycled from Lyle the Dog, a longtime background Muppet, and the puppet would appear again in Episode 307: No Pain, No Brain as Terri's exercise coach. His name was a reference to an old-time radio character, the blustery Senator Claghorn, now best remembered as the inspiration for cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn.
