Wow, those are gorgeous! How did you build these things?!

You guys have brought back some great memories. I just want to add that any sketch involving either character losing his nose was always hilarious to my five or six year old self. But I think the "Ride 'em cowboy, Bert!" sketch was my favorite... Did anyone else have the storybook based on that...

I just started posting recently and ran into this thread, so I thought I would say hello. My name is Aaron, I'm a recent college grad in Jacksonville, FL and am trying to get some puppet-related stuff going on here in town, and maybe starting a business (to relieve myself of the pain of the...

My girlfriend would never let me live it down if she knew that I burned a copy of ABBA GOLD and have it hidden someplace in my car... Knowing me, knowing you...

I'm a member of the Puppet Guild South Florida group. I agree with Andrew T in that the interface for discussion over at Yahoo! Groups is kind of weird and not as user-friendly as website forums like this.

If you guys will head to YouTube and do a search for "Wilkins Coffee" or "Jim Henson" you will turn up TONS of old Muppet commercials. (I hope I am not breaking some rule by posting this.) The Wilkins ones are great (and one of the puppets looks a little like Kermit) and the LaChoy one is there...

Can I add that it is quite hot here as well? ...Good thing the beach is 20 minutes away!

For some reason he looks like "Waffle" to me. Maybe I'm just hungry. What did you make the eyes out of?

Buck, I have gotten in touch with Puppet Guild members as you suggested. Those guys are a great resource. Thanks! On another topic, I'm continuing with my puppet building. My first ("trial run") puppet was a dinosaur, and by the time I was ready to plug the eyes in, I realized that I had...

If they end up doing a new show, are they completely married to the variety show format? Why retread what they've already done -- why not do a Columbo or Magnum PI type of show, where Kermit is a private eye and Piggy is his secretary, and Fozzie and Gonzo are his goofy assistants... Or the show...

I wasn't posting a year ago, so I didn't chime in then, but I gotta say I didn't like the movie on TV. I didn't even get thru the whole thing. I don't have any great desire to seek it out on DVD. I think what isn't there (or in any of the newer Muppet stuff) is the same thing missing from new...

Man, he looks so friendly... I've got to get some of that Antron fleece!

Hey guys -- wanted to update everyone with a link to my website, which is here. It's not too, too extensive (and some of it is a little heavy on the Photoshop tricks -- hey, I was in college, whadaya want) but it has some of my pro cartooning stuff. No puppets though... So can I see samples of...

Nice stuff! I have been following the blog religiously!!

Puppetise, these look better than mine, and I'm ten years your senior, so I wouldn't sweat it. If your stuff looks this good now, you'll be in high demand by the time you're out of school. I'll say this, as far as eBay goes: presentation sometimes counts for a lot, regarding whether something...

Thanks, Buck. I'd seen that site before but I will seek out David Goboff based on your recommendation. I'll post some images later this week of the puppets we've started with. We're using scraps of materials just to get a feel for how to do everything right now. Lots of trial and error...

Looks nice! The mouth is always the tough part for me on these things. I get the design and sculpt and everything looking good, and then when I do the mouth, it never looks like I want it to. Thanks for posting the images.

Hey -- I liked it, but I agree with some comments above about the colorful language. I'm no @#*!! saint but the profanity seems like it was thrown in there to make it sound more "adult." Also, I gotta say I like the puppet designs better than the illustrations on the site -- though the...

Wow! I'm going up there in a couple months! ZNS, it looks like most of their exhibits stay up for about a year so you should have plenty of time, I would think.

Hey, guys, this thread is kind of old, but I'm a cartoonist and am just getting into puppet building. I can't post my URL yet since I don't have enough posts under my belt, apparently. But trust me -- it's good stuff!!! ;-)
