Talk:International Herry Monster

Lhorrible
Here's some scans from a couple of French books that I have. They were both published in 1978, the year that 1, Rue Sésame started.

First, a couple panels from Des Experts en Bévues:

I know that we have some evidence that Herry was called Hyacinthe in France, and that "Lhorrible" was a different character who appeared on audio. But in these books, at least, Herry is called Lhorrible.

There are a couple different reasons why this might be. Personally, my money's on the idea that the name changed at some point -- that it was Lhorrible early on in the run, and it was changed to Hyacinthe later. It reminds me of the way that Cookie Monster started out as just "Monster" on the early Sesame albums, and became "Cookie Monster" over time. -- Danny (talk ) 05:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
