Okay, here are my ideas for the characters in Forecast Follies...
- A human host, a meteorologist, who serves as the "straight man" to the other characters. I'm picturing a young-ish guy wearing a labcoat and glasses. Brown hair. For the 1990s update, he could be replaced by a new character.
- Mr. Sun represents sunny days. A big, cheery, yellow sun a la the Raisin Bran mascot.
- Cloudy days are represented by Mr. Cloud, a big, puffy grey cloud.
- Mr. Twister represents tornadoes. An out-of-control, crazy fella a la the Tasmanian Devil.
- Maybe snow could be represented by a snowflake, or a snowman?
- Fog could be represented as "Mr. Fog" (or Mrs. Fog), who doesn't get a physical form per say - the theater simply fills up with fog as we hear their voice.
