Does MSNBC have an option for you to buy copies of their shows? I know some of the cable networks do that.

I am slowly bringing my web site back online...I'm going to be adding a number of new articles and features over the next month or so. The first is a guide to puppet building resources. Most of these have probably been pointed out by either myself or other people here in the forum before, but I...

If you pick up John Kennedy's book Puppet Mania! there is a really good, easy method for converting most plush toys in to puppets. You should be able to find the book at a local bookstore in the "craft" section or I have links to places to purchase it online at...

They do this for almost all Matt's "Journey To Ernie" segments, which I think is pretty cool. It's definately a third puppeteer. They do a lot of this on Sesame. Ever seen pictures or video of "Team Elmo" making him do one of his little dance numbers? They have four or more puppeteers working on...

So how come you didn't suggest this BEFORE I started welding a bunch of brass tubes this week?! :p Seriously, that's a great little method. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't thought of it elsewhere (great minds do think alike). Very cool.

Alexander Danner posted a really great article on copyright in this week's Comixpedia. In it he stresses - among other things - the importance of registering your work in the United States, which I didn't know. A good read if you're interested in or curious about copyright issues...

I've just muffined this thread, but Krazedmuppet's got one of my fav MC avatars! :D Brian Froud is great too. I'm not so in to fantasy art usually, but I've really loved his last few books.

For anyone on the west coast who might be interested, I got this in an email today: The final two Masking Shadow Characters workshops are happening this weekend. Here's the info: McGroarty Arts Center - 7570 McGroarty Terrace - Tujunga Saturday April 17th from 4:30-6:30pm Sunday...

I know at one point they had a strict line between the Creature Shop and the Muppet Workshop - that started sometime after some of the early Creature Shop series in the UK like Mother Goose Stories. The feeling was that the CS was starting to tread on the Muppet's turf so someone decided that...

I'm not sure how well this works (it tooks a little odd to tell you the truth) but there is a "beginner" pattern for a moving mouth foam puppet at http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/Balcony/1282/1.html Has anyone tried this? The site is very slow and it can take a minute or two for each page...

I always loved Jim Henson's dog characters!

What a great little site! I've always wanted to know more about that show. Thanks for posting the link John! :)

The Creature Shop doesn't build the Bear costumes though right? I thought they had a strict line drawn between them and (whatever is left of) the Muppet workshop.

Normally I hate people who clutter up my inbox with those well-intended but annoying "inspirational" emails (OK, I'm cynical I admit it) but every once and awhile I get a really good one. I haven't checked, but I assume this story is true: His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish...

People have lives, they get busy or have other more pressing things than MC. It's just life. I wouldn't speculate too much or assume anything.

This is a few days late but kind of interesting all the same: On April 12, 1994, a pair of attorneys in Arizona launched a homemade marketing software program that forever changed the Internet. Hoping to drum up some business, Laurence Canter dashed off a Perl script that flooded online...

From http://www.weirdal.com/msg.htm On April 9, my mom and dad, Nick and Mary Yankovic, passed away in their home in Fallbrook, California. It was the result of a terrible accident - that morning they had started a fire in the fireplace with the flue closed, and were...

This is just awful, awful news. A terrible tragedy.

Listen mousey...I've been coding HTML for 13 hours straight. Cut a beaver some slack. :p

At $35,000 a bear (or whatever it is) you'd better not have any bloody trouble shutting the mouth and closing the eyes! Who do you mean by Creature Shop?
