Anyone ever notice that damn near every one of the Muppets is left handed for some reason?

Kermit, Fozzie, and Animal are all left handed in the baseball pics (zoom in on Kermits logo and you can tell the image is not reversed)


Miss Piggy's baseball card at least implies she bats lefty



Floyd and Janice are lefties



Lips even plays the rare left handed trumpet



Zoot draws left handed

Probably because the puppeteers are right handed and using their dominant hand to make the mouth work.

correct


quote:

According to a report on Cheatsheet, the reason that majority of the muppets are left-handed is that puppeteers, tend to use their dominant hand to control a puppet’s head and mouth. Their other arm is used to control the puppet's arms and hands. Given that most puppeteers are inherently right-handed, the arms of the muppets are controlled by their left hands. As a result, the muppet itself appears to be left-handed.
