Gobo Fraggle should be directly compared to Jack from Lost. Both are fearless leaders, both love exploring, both rage against their antagonists (The Gorgs, The Others) and both have a woman that is border line mental for them.

Gobo Fraggle was a real renaissance Fraggle. He enjoyed music, friendship and sleeping in a cave. He was strong, yet caring. Tough, yet forgiving. Gobo was everything a good Fraggle SHOULD be! Although, that’s what historians WANT you to believe. I however, disagree. I believe Gobo Fraggle was a communist, hell bent on destroying a civilation, to fuel his own hunger.

If you asked most kids about Gobo, they would tell you that he was a wonderful Fraggle. However, next time you pass a construction site of green midgets, ask them for what they think of Gobo. They will probablly voice an accurate historical narrative, how Ghengis Gobo and his Pipe Eating Clan, almost single handedly ruined the great Doozer civilization. The Doozers just wanted to build bridges, towers, and other geometric paradises. All Gobo wanted to do was to ruin these edible edifices to satisfy his appetite for doozer dwellings. You know who else likes destroying buildings for his own personal gain? Osama Bin Laden. That’s right, Gobo Fraggle may have indeed laid the foundation for Al Qaeda. Uncle Traveling Matt could have very well facilitated contact between the two. I’ll leave that for you to decide.

You may hear that the Doozers “wanted” the Fraggles to eat their structures. Probablly true. Why? What if they said no? What would Mokey have eaten after taking a bong hit? That’s right, A DOOZER!

So why do we salute Gobo? Well because the man can flat out sing and the fact that he was probablly shackin’ up with Red. I’m willing to overlook his genecidal tendencies on the belief that Gobo Fraggle was the mack daddy of Fraggle Rock.
