Belleville Rendez-Vous

Alright, I can't help it, I need to know and it's killing me!

What is that... puppet... thing... guy in your user icons?  I love him!  Er, her.  It.  Whatever it is.

It must be some fantastic cultural reference that I don't understand because I'm on the wrong side of the pond!

Please, I beg of you to satisfy my curiosity!

Oh thank you thank you thank you!  Now I can stop clawing my hair out.

It's a shame that I grew up on American childrens' television instead of British childrens' television.  Well, at least we had our imported Danger Mouse for a while!

 :-D

(P.S.: Did you know that Bob the Builder is popular with the kids over here now, except that they've given him an American accent?  I find it both sad and amusing that they had to dub the show from English into English.  I suppose it's because American children wouldn't know what a lorry was, or something.)
