    Misconceptions about your age

    I prefer "Miz." That doesn't refer to any age or marital status, only gender. (Counting the seconds until someone points out that the correct spelling is "Ms.")

    Misconceptions about your age

    Not that I've ever seen, and I've known a lot of non-straights.

    Misconceptions about your age

    People are all over the map as to my age. Physically I look younger than I am because I keep myself in good shape and have oily skin, which resists wrinkling (and gives me an adolescent-looking complexion, sigh). However, when I smile you can see telltale lines around my eyes. Online people...

    Puppets still around?

    There are some Doozers, a Red and Mokey, miniatures of the Fraggle Five, and the puppets for the puppet show within The Incredible Shrinking Mokey on display at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta.

    Dragon*Con 2012: My Muppet Experience

    When I was carrying Janken around during D*C two people came up to me (at different times) and told me with great assurance that Fraggle Rock was coming back. One claimed to have worked on a music video to premiere in about a month, and the other didn't say how he knew. My reply was that it'd...

    What do the Swedes think of the Swedish Chef?

    Funnily enough, when I write for the Swedish Chef I actually do stick some Swedish into his dialogue. For the bits you need to understand I'll use Mock Swedish, and for the babble I'll run the English line through the Google translator, knowing that it'll come out pretty ungrammatical, and then...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    It was just a song and "slideshow" video, no performance.

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Last night at Dragon*Con I went to a "puppet slam," which was basically a set of very varied puppet acts for adults. Part of the preshow was a song written in tribute to Jerry, set to a slideshow of photos of him in action. It was beautiful, and I hope that it turns up on Youtube if it hasn't...

    I just came back from Dragon*Con. I haven't forgotten these requests; I've just been so busy doll wiggling and meeting interesting people. People like... ...Heather Henson, who spoke at a Fraggle Rock panel. Heh, Janken was all over the con, posing for hundreds of photos (there's a lot...

    My first puppet: Janken Fraggle

    Thanks, guys! I just came back from Dragon*Con. I normally spend a good bit of time going around the con in my Dr. Frank N. Furter costume, but because my heels broke right after the parade I couldn't do that. I made up for it by walking around every say with a wiggly doll on my arm. It was...

    My first puppet: Janken Fraggle

    Thank you! And, yes, I am a longtime Weird Al fan, though I don't know how that comes across in my signature.

    My first puppet: Janken Fraggle

    I visited my sister's family. She has a 12-year-old boy and a 8-year-old girl. I brought Janken over so I could get a little practice in, me being a little rusty after 25 or so years. It was fun, just sitting with him and chatting with the family. My niece couldn't take her eyes off him for...

    Character Autographs?

    I'd love a Dave Goelz autograph. But I'm going to Dragon*Con next weekend, and Peter Linz will be a guest there, so I might just get one from him. :fanatic: PS: looking at those character autographs, I notice that Animal's is pretty close to my handwriting. Should I be worried?

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    I watched some skits in my Sesame Street Spoofs DVD set. Heh, The Count is cool in a OCD kinda way.

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    *sigh* I watch one episode of Fraggle Rock a day. I just go through the DVDs in order. Today's ep was Manny's Land of Carpets. It just about destroyed me when Gobo and Wembley sang Good-bye, Good-bye (Just a Rainbow in the Sky). Goodbye, goodbye, And every eye is dry. Leavin', there's no...

    Slackbot draws stuff

    As I've mentioned before, I rarely do requests because of the amount of work I put into my stuff. However, lately I've been in a kinda scattered mood, and I thought it'd be fun to open the thread up for a while to doodle requests. I'm talking quickie drawings like you see in the above doodle...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    Ahh, that makes sense. It would also explain why Richman waited this long to try to destroy the theater, even though he had been itching for revenge for decades; any earlier and the Muppets would still have a legal claim to the theater. But the very second that claim expired, he was gonna...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I've been under a gruesome amount of work-related stress lately. Xanax keeps me from chewing myself to shreds from inside, but it also makes me feel tired and apathetic and wonky. (Hence the lack of decent writing and art outta me lately.) Today as a pick-me-up I watched The Muppets again, and...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I see tabletop ads in the Lenox Square food court. And every time I see Oogiloves publicity I get the feeling I'm watching a huge April Fool joke unfolding, because it's so hard to take it seriously. It honestly looks deliberately bad. I can't wait to read the reviews after people see the...

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    Linz will be at Dragon*Con next week, so I'm sure he'll be asked at least a dozen times whether Walter will be a continuing character. I'll post what I learn.
