Calico is a pinkish monocled character who appears in Muppet Treasure Island as a pirate. He also appears in the video game (performed by John Kennedy), which is where his name comes from.
He first appears in the "Sailing for Adventure" number, singing a solo in the first verse. He also appears in the "Cabin Fever" number, where he and an unnamed character take a verse. One of the pirates pulls a knife on him during "A Professional Pirate." He also appears in the Muppet Treasure Island Sing Along, where he is performed by Peter Linz.
He reappears in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz as one of the Flying Monkeys, along with several of his fellow pirates, and in Muppets Most Wanted as a prisoner.
