    A little Fanart

    Very cute! I like quiet, snuggly moments. You and I have some similar ideas. I've done two pics of Mokey and Boober that are along the same lines. The poses are different from yours, but the idea is there: tall Mokey having a cuddle with little Boober. They're a fun pairing.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    My father E-mailing me anti-Obama propaganda four times this weekend. The same link. And actually being surprised that it annoys and offends me.

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    I think we can all agree that both Wesley Crusher and Lestat de Lioncourt are textbook Mary Sues.

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    I used to be heavily involved with the Disney Afternoon fanbase back when I ran the DAFT mailing list. The CDRR fan community I knew of then, The Acorn Café (which is still going strong) was acrimoniously divided over such matters. They actually had organizations like RAGE (Rangerphiles...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    Every fandom has its fringe elements. And every fandom has infighting, with people insisting that "those people" are weirdos or jerks and don't belong with us (Muppet Central and Tough Pigs, anyone?). And, of course, every fandom thinks it's the best, much nicer than all those other fandoms...

    Songs You Can't Stand

    You're Beautiful by James Blunt. A man sees a beautiful woman in the subway, and although she's obviously got someone else in his life, he thinks they've made some cosmic connection and it's so tragic that they'll never be together. This isn't romantic, it's delusional. And Blunt's falsetto...

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    This is an original Fraggle character. I was in the mood to try out a few different things, and I prefer to experiment on new characters. That way, if I goof it up, nobody knows what it was supposed to look like!

    Autism

    I wasn't trying to prove to you that misdiagnoses happen. Just sharing my nephew's story.

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    Here's the current puppet in progress. I've tried to make his face more flexible by thinning the foam in the cheeks, snout, and lower jaw from the inside. The results are encouraging.

    Autism

    Misdiagnoses definitely can happen. My nephew was diagnosed as autistic because, at age 3, he was making no effort to talk and paid no attention to anyone around him. However, there was another reason for that: his parents had babied him so much, carrying him everywhere and falling all over...

    Help, Not Getting E-Mails Anymore

    I suggest checking your junk mail folder. If this site is sending you a lot of mail, your system might have assumed that this site is spamming you.

    The 'what movie did you last watch thread'

    I just watched Paranorman as a post-Halloween bonus. Good movie! Right afterwards I watched all the special features to see just how the heck they did all that. It would never have occurred to me to use a 3-d printer to make the faces!

    Comic strips you'd love to see as animated series

    I'd like to see Kevin & Kell animated. And Girl Genius would make a nifty feature movie.

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    Thanks, I'm really glad you like my work! :flirt: I don't plan to make an "early Gobo" puppet. To me, the later puppets are the right-looking ones. That said, the "baby bird" Gobo puppet used in the pilot episode (The Thirty-Minute Work Week) would be an interesting look for another...

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    That's 1/2" foam. That's what I use for most puppet-making.

    Halloween is just around the corner

    I'm shocked that I haven;t seen any Elsas yet. I was expecting at least half the girls to be dressed as her. I've been giving out candy with my Mokey puppet. The kids love her. :)

    Autism

    She'd sense one and I'd sense the other. ;)

    Puppets Holding Objects

    I sometimes glue a small loop or two of wire to the object to be held, then sew or pin that to the hand.

    Autism

    Nah. As I said, she's a parent of two autistic children, plus she knows families with other children with autism and Asperger's. Some people have gaydar; she picks up on autism, I guess. You notice the things that are close to you. Interestingly, when she was here this year we watched about...
