Henson was intrigued by the premise and outlined several skits that he thought might illustrate higher psychological concepts, such as a "character that always sees things in abstract symbols" or a "character that summarizes." In July 1972, Henson taped two short pieces which he had written to demonstrate the potential of the show to the developers. The first, called "Sulfuric Cake" was about miscommunication and ended with a cake in the face. The second, called "Dilemma" related to honesty and taking responsibility for one's actions.
