The figure was based on the scene from " Muppets from Space " in which Fozzie used Dr . Bunsen Honeydew ' s invisibility spray to save Gonzo . The spray was stored inside an ordinary - looking rubber duckie . The effect was sadly temporary , and wore off when Fozzie washed his hands .

When Bugsy Vile and his gang plot to steal the one hundred rarest comics , however , they are beaten to the bunch by a new pack of crooks , the Labrador Gang . The Labradors are themselves captured by the Watchdog , surfacing mysteriously on cue . The new hero continues to foil the Labrador Gang , but a jealous Ace ' s suspicions are aroused by the Watch Dog ' s penchant for fighting crime only when an audience is waiting . Ace interviews " Watch Dog " creator Fob Canine , who is less than helpful .

" The Value of Imagination " , a juvenile biography of Jim Henson , claimed that as a child , Henson watched Baird ' s TV series " Life with Snarky Parker " and claims that it was an influence on his decision to go into puppetry .

" Harris goes on to ask " if Snarky Parker had rubbed off on you and that ' s where you got your initial inspiration for your first puppets ?
