In "The Muppet Show", Link Hogthrob is which animal?
Link Hogthrob is a dim-witted pig possessing traits of a stereotypical leading man, with wavy blond hair, a manly cleft chin, and a high opinion of himself. In "The Muppet Show", Link is best known as the captain of the Swinetrek on the recurring sketch "Pigs in Space" where his unbridled machismo is often a source of conflict with his co-star, First Mate Piggy.
Unlike Dr. Julius Strangepork, whose role on "The Muppet Show" would be primarily relegated to the "Pigs in Space" sketches including "Wonder Pig", Link would feature regularly both in the show's onstage acts and backstage mayhem. Hogthrob's singing talents featured a number of times in solos ("I Talk to the Trees", "Sonny Boy"), duets ("Là ci darem la mano"), and group numbers ("Sea Chantey," "The Rhyming Song").
Starting in the show's third season, Link was also featured as the police chief in the recurring Bear on Patrol sketches, where his dimwittedness was often the source of physical trauma to patrol officer Fozzie Bear.
