Technically, that Flanders-like teacher is made out of a Large Lavender Live Hand Anything Muppet. Jim also used it for the Music Store shopkeeper, Granny Fanny Nesseldrone, Pat Playjacks and a few others. The Count was originally made out of that AM pattern, too.
Other lavender Muppets Jim Henson voiced include Bad Bart, Sinister Sam, Bip Bipadotta, Captain Vegetable, and the job employment man. Henson also voices a lot of orange gold muppets.
Yup, I recognize the voice all right--very similar to the one Jim used for Guy Smiley. The teacher Muppet looks pretty badly designed, though; I wonder how many kids got freaked out?
lol, there's pictures of Grover everywhere

But there is one problem, Roosevelt Franklin disappeared when Matt Robinson (1st Gordon) left the show in 1972.
