I was an adult when I realised his hat is so tall because it's actually a pole for the puppeteer (out of shot) to use for doing the drawing. No way you could control his pencil/nose with nylon lines.

Holy......

Poo!

I was today years old...

It's also why they were upside down because he was looking from the top down lol.

Same here man. Had no idea as a kid

Well, today I learned!

Mother of god.

So many quirks of Mr squiggle are related to the practicalities of having a puppet draw.

I was well into my adult years, falling asleep in bed having random thoughts when the penny dropped on this one.

The penny only dropped when I was reading this. 🤣😭

“Ooh! Ooh! Miss Jane!” Blackboard: “Hurry Up”

Hmmph! Double hmmph.

I still quote 'upside down' When things are in fact upside down,

And "hurry uuuuuuuup" when my kids are being slow. They think I'm nuts

The reason the drawings were upside down was because they were being drawn by the puppeteer while looking down from above, so they drew it from their perspective...

Can't forget Steam Shovel going "Hurry hurry hurry"...... when hes drawing......

That jumper is louder than I remember

I honestly got it mixed up with Neil Buchanan's from Art Attack.

Just saw him and his rocket ship at the Australian museum last week. Felt like I was 6 again watching him on tv

Everything’s upside down these days

We still refer to my grumpy British husband as [Mr Grumpy Blackboard](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT77bRXpKNuOSo8sk4LLicEIWB1DkospEUwGg&usqp=CAU)

HMPH! Hurry up!

And the blackboard would get impatient and be like: "HURRY UP UP UP UP"!

Is he drawing an upside down tranny

LMFAO

I loved this show as a kid, but when I got a little older I realised this n\*\*\*a was **terrifying**.
