    I always liked Lips. If there had been a 6th season I'm sure he would have been upgraded from a background to a more major character. Yes I say bring back the Electric Mayhem, including their trumpet player :D

    I have never seen Lips as part of the Electric Mayhem really, and would not really mind if he was not in them, but it would be nice.

    The only thing I remember thinking about Lips is when on GMC they are playing Nightlife on the Bus, I remember the Trumpet music being out of time with the way Lips was playing it.

    I say Lips should talk more like Zoot.But, I totally agree on bringing him back.:shifty:

    I don't mind if they bring Lips back, but does Lips even have a personality?
  6. LeahXZoot4Evur Active Member

    mmmm.....I dunno. Maybe he does.:confused:

    He didn't have a personality, but I like to think he was shy (like his performer, Steve Whitmire) except for whenever he was playing the trumpet.

    Then again, maybe he was really shy, despite playing the trumpet like a pro, and left the group because his trumpet-playing drew too much attention to him. :D

    The writer of Muppet Snow White did mention in a Tough Pigs interview that he chose Lips to play Bashful because of Steve Whitmire's shyness combined with Lips never developing a personality (by the way, did Lips get any dialogue in that comic?).

    I don't have the snow white comic, but I am purtty sure that he rully does.
    The 'Not It' part I'm sure!

    Well, one honor that Lips has was part of the "Steve's characters get hit by doors brigade" along with Bean Bunny, I *think* Rizzo and now Kermit.
  10. LeahXZoot4Evur Active Member

    Oh. well whaddya know. I should say that Lips should talk more and can still date Delores! :fanatic:

    When Kermit and Piggy first see the Happiness Hotel bus, Lips can be heard saying "Ding, ding!", and as they're driving off, he says, "How 'bout a little traveling music?".
  12. LeahXZoot4Evur Active Member

    Ohhhhhhhhhhh....I didn't hear that.

    it sounds hilarious
  17. LeahXZoot4Evur Active Member

    Did you see it? I went on Youtube to watch it. I didn't see it. Is it a deleted scene?

    I love lips! Even though he never really talked or actually participated in story lines, there was just something magicaly about a hippy like trupest. There was just something about him that I couldn't help but love! know what I mean? I believe they really could have done a lot with the caracter and they still can! so bring back lip! and give him a personality! HE IS AWSOME!!!
