#jp grosse

My nephew is a weird orange techie but I love him all the same

Personally I think the most fun dynamic that they have is one were jp is this stern tight fisted character who scares the living daylights out of the theatre but has the biggest weak spot for his niece and nephew. He loves spoiling them even though their parents are very distant with them. Like he folds immediately when scooter asks for something.

in my head i have been calling Scooter's dad, Q.T. Grosse

J.P. the evil capitalist who adores and dotes on those he considers his loved ones and his baby brother Q.T. the good doctor who ignores his own kids

Over the course of The Muppet Show, J.P. Grosse's name has been invoked in twice as many episodes as he appeared. Usually, his name was brought up by Scooter to strike some sort of fear in Kermit as a means to get his way.

An idea of what scooters family looks like. We know what his sister and uncle look like so I wanted to try and fill in the blanks!

J.p didn’t marry into the family since he’s mentioned to have a wife. Scooter would call her mom if she was after all. Joan is mentioned to be a parrot and J.p is very much human so unless they are adopted or something I figure that his brother is scooter’s father. Joan is something like a sun conure in color and built generally like how Sam eagle is.

Scooter’s father is never really mentioned in muppets proper so I took some traits from the muppet kids series where he’s a doctor who looks mostly like scooter but I roled some things back. He’d be much less colorful than both of his children, distant and very busy. (Maybe he gets gonzo a lot as a patient) he never comes for any of his kids birthdays. Chronically divorced. His older brother j.p dotes on his kids way way more than he even attempts.
