The Poobs

The Poobs are a famously peaceful race of aliens from Planet Poobatron, the closest galactic neighbor of Planet Koozebane.

The two alien races first became aware of each other's existence when the Poobs' radio broadcasts were intercepted and returned by the Koozebanians. But because each radio transmission takes eleven years to reach the other planet, generations passed between those first communications and their first expected meeting, which is reported by Kermit the Frog in "Close Encounters of the Worst Kind," a sketch in Kermit's Story, the first in Roger Langridge's four-issue run of The Muppet Show comic book.

The Male and Female Koozebanian Creatures eagerly expect the arrival of the Poobs, so they are doubly disappointed when, first, the Poobs' spaceship lands on and flattens then, and second, the Zimmer Twins who emerge from its hull.
