Sherlock Hemlock - Name and Appearance

Name and Appearance

Sherlock Hemlock is an obvious parody of Sherlock Holmes and the stereotypical detective. He wears a similar hat and cloak and looks at everything through a magnifying glass. However, his name also seems to be a reference to hemlock, the poisonous plant used to kill the philosopher Socrates.

He appears to have been originally made from a green Anything Muppet.
