Summer Penguin

Summer is a penguin featured in the 2018 Muppet Babies animated series. During the planning stages for the reboot of the show, she replaced the initially concepted character Bobbi Baba.
Her official description characterizes her as "super creative. She loves to draw, she loves to paint, she loves to dance—all at the same time. She's the smallest of the group, but she definitely has the biggest heart."Entertainment Weekly "Meet the new Muppet Baby! A first look at Summer the penguin" by Dana Schwartz, January 25, 2018
Like most penguins, Summer hails from Antarctica. Her sun-adorned sweater reminds her of home where she used to ride an Icicle Tricycle around the icebergs with her friends.Buzzfeed "The Muppet Babies Are Returning To TV With A Brand New Muppet" by Keely Flaherty, January 25, 2018
Her catchphrases include the surprise exclamation "icicles!" and the mild curse word "fish sticks!"
Unlike her Muppet Babies cohorts, who first appeared in puppet form, Summer was only reimagined as an actual Muppet for the Muppet Babies Play Date shorts, where she was puppeteered by performer Alice Dinnean.The Muppet Mindset: We Interviewed Muppet Babies’ Matt Danner & Tom Warburton! by Jarrod Fairclough, August 9, 2019
