a parody of the headless horseman, the hopping hessian is a one-legged ghost from the revolutionary war who lurks beyond the old foto-hut. gordon, the talking leg, is the hessian's missing leg who sounds like johnny carson, and has a face on his foot. he was created by doug lawrence in a story by martin olson. the hopping hessian is also voiced by lawrence, while gordon is voiced by carlos alazraqui. the hopping hessian rarely speaks; he only says "yes!" or "no!", agreeing with gordon on something (initially, he only said this off-screen, until he was first revealed in "sugar frosted frights.")
