<P> Walter is a retired, grumpy old man with arms always crossed in discontent . Dunham was inspired to create Walter when he watched Bette Davis's final appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, giving her honest, unfiltered candor to Walter, and patterning Walter's frown on Dunham's own . He has a brash, negative and often sarcastic view on today's world . He is a Vietnam War veteran and a former welder, and "doesn't give a damn" about anyone, especially his own wife and certain audience members . Walter appeared in all four Comedy Central specials . He's been married for several decades . When Dunham asks him if he remembers the happiest moment of his life after Walter tells him he has been married for forty - six years, Walter responds, "Forty - seven years ago!" Dunham created the Walter puppet himself, including both the initial sculpture and the silicone mold, though he eventually began using professional effects companies for the latter stages with his subsequent puppets . </P> <P> Peanut is a hyperactive, purple - skinned "woozle" with white fur covering most of his body, a tuft of green hair on the top of his head, and one sneaker on his left foot . Dunham explains in Arguing with Myself that Peanut is from a small Micronesian island, and that they met in Florida . Peanut's humor is not based on a particular motif or stereotype, as those of the other characters, and has been described as "the bad kid". He often makes fun of Dunham, and torments and mocks José Jalapeño on a Stick . Touching upon his unusual appearance and personality, he asks Dunham in Arguing with Myself, after Dunham denies ever having done drugs, "Then how the hell did you come up with me?" </P> <P> José is a talking jalapeño pepper on a stick who wears a small sombrero . José, who speaks with a thick Spanish accent, is typically paired with Peanut, who often makes fun of José, uses appeals to Latino stereotypes when doing so, and makes fun of his being on a stick . Although José was not Dunham's first puppet, it was the first that Dunham made himself . </P> <P> Dunham has not used José in any specials since "Minding the Monsters", although he was referenced by Walter in Relative Disaster . </P>
