Imagine your teacher's been introducing you to the letters of the alphabet with cute little songs about the letters, and then you hit X and they slap you with this
i went to look up "Letter People" to see if they were the ones I remember seeing in school, and i got jumpscared by this one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/Early_version_of_Mr._T_from_the_Letter_People.jpg
I looked it up and they were definitely used in my school, I vividly remember Mr. C's song
Every time I ask someone older what was going on in the 70s that lead to something like this, I get, "We were all on a lot of drugs-- not the refined ones you all have now, just whatever seemed like it would Do the Job." And yeah I think that's what happened here too. This whole series is bonkers.
Each episode of The Letter People introduces a new Letter Person along with their respective letter of the alphabet.
Mr. X is introduced in episode 44.
this would have terrified me at first and then there's a chance i would have become fascinated with it. i imagine something like the reaction i had to the Chavez cover of Little Twelvetoes except maybe twice as uncomfortable
