Sprout OCs - Max and Judy

Max C. Santomero and Judy Paige Johnson are Star and Chica (and Nicholas, Ann, Snug, and other classmates)'s preschool teachers. Unlike other preschool teachers, they rotate between days, and are always seen with two dogs - Doodles (who you may know from the Bathtime ident and the Hooray for the Holidays music video) and Izzles, who looks like Doodles except is female and white. Both of them are fun to have around, leading songs, games, and activities, and can also give words of wisdom and lessons on kindness. There's also Sid Kessler (unpictured), who's mainly in charge of paperwork, scheduling, and making sure everything runs smoothly, though he sometimes (and the keyword is "sometimes") joins the class for songs and games.

Max and Judy have multiple inspirations - the are named after the playgroup teachers in Tweenies, I gave them their last names after Angela C. Santomero and Traci Paige Johnson, the creators of Blue's Clues (similar to how I gave Jett and Kelly their last names - Schultz and Jacobs - after the creators of my other favorite Nick Jr. show, Yo Gabba Gabba!), and they're modeled after my paternal grandfather and third grade teacher, respectively.
