Let me introduce you to Professor Quentin Quibble, a new Muppet character with a penchant for obscure knowledge and a delightful lack of social awareness.

Appearance:

Professor Quibble is roughly the size of Beaker, with a slightly hunched posture.

His fur is a dusty shade of lavender, perpetually looking like it needs a good brushing (which he would vehemently oppose).

He sports a pair of oversized, round spectacles that constantly slip down his long, thin nose, requiring frequent, frantic adjustments with his spindly, three-fingered hands.

His most distinctive feature is his unruly shock of bright orange hair that sticks out at odd angles, as if permanently electrified by his own intellectual fervor.

He often wears a slightly too-small tweed vest with numerous bulging pockets overflowing with scraps of paper, peculiar trinkets, and half-eaten biscuits.

Traits:

Brilliantly Obtuse: Professor Quibble possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of the most niche and esoteric subjects imaginable. He can expound at length on the migratory patterns of the Patagonian toothfish or the proper knot-tying techniques for 17th-century Venetian gondoliers. However, he often misses the most obvious social cues and everyday occurrences.

Logorrhea of the Learned: Once he starts talking about a subject he finds interesting (which is almost anything), there is no stopping him. His sentences are often long, rambling, and filled with obscure terminology, footnotes he recites aloud, and tangential anecdotes.

Lovable Ineptitude: Despite his intellectual prowess in specific areas, Professor Quibble is remarkably clumsy and prone to minor mishaps. He frequently trips over his own feet, spills his tea (which he drinks constantly), and misplaces his spectacles (even when they are perched precariously on his nose).

Unwavering Enthusiasm: Despite his social awkwardness, Professor Quibble is genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge, even if his audience is completely lost. He approaches every topic with wide-eyed wonder and a contagious, if slightly overwhelming, passion.

Amnesia for the Mundane: While his long-term memory for obscure facts is astounding, Professor Quibble struggles with everyday tasks and remembering names. He might recall the exact date of the invention of the spork but forget where he put his keys (which are usually in one of his many pockets).

Quirks:

He has a peculiar habit of punctuating his sentences with a soft, high-pitched "Hmph!" as if constantly surprised by the brilliance of his own thoughts.

He carries a small, well-worn magnifying glass that he uses to examine even the most mundane objects with intense scrutiny.

He has an imaginary (or perhaps not-so-imaginary) pet dust bunny named "Dusty" that he occasionally addresses and blames for misplaced items.

He gets incredibly flustered when asked a question about a topic he doesn't know, stammering and fidgeting until he can steer the conversation back to his areas of expertise.

He has a deep and abiding love for lukewarm chamomile tea and digestive biscuits, often consuming them simultaneously in a rather messy fashion.

Professor Quentin Quibble would bring a unique blend of intellectual absurdity and endearing clumsiness to the Muppet world, offering opportunities for both educational (in the most bizarre sense) and comedic scenarios.
