MN: Yes, in fact I think that anybody could have played Didi and Gogo. It's part of their weird appeal. I chose Pocky and Cheerful because their names sounded the most like characters in a Samuel Beckett play. I like to think of myself as a Lucky who has killed his Pozzo, but that may just be conceit. I *do* carry a lot of baggage.

Well, as long as we're already peering into the existential void, maybe it's time for:

MisterRogers' Neighborhood

MisterRogers: PercyDovetonsils. Most likely to have a closet full of baby-blue cardigans.

Mr. McFeely: Dr. SuperLove, Ph.D. Would you actually ever let your kids play with a guy named "Mister McFeely" ?

Lady Aberdine: MisterRogers' main squeeze. I'd give her to Sissy, but she'll probably be complaining about type casting pretty soon, too. Hmmmmmm. TastyBitch?

King Friday: EWM. Rules Make Believe with an iron fist.

Queen Sarah Saturday: Generally a voice of reason. But stay on her good side.

X the Owl: Maybe DangerToy. At least he *has* an ex.

Henrietta Pussycat: Maneki Neko (get it?) Henrietta giving the black panther salute. P*ssy Power!

Daniel (the little tiger who wore a beret and taught French): Lord Fahruz. European philologist with claws.

Donkey Howtey: DonkeyWrestler: Left the show after a while. :(

The Buck-Toothed Rodent Thing: Cheerful Hamster. Close enough for public television.

There were other characters, too, but I forget them. As always, feel free to add or recast.

Did you ever notice that "MisterRogers" is sort of a cyber name?

Edited to add (on request):

Trolly: Coffeebot. Trips daily to alternative reality. "A Streetcar named Make Believe."
