The other day - and I swear this is completely true - I walked in to a Wal-Mart and two greeteers had duct-taped a third greeter to some patio furniture that was on display. They weren't letting him up - for any reason - until they had raised $100 for charity by selling these $1 paper bannanas...

It's never been commercially released (to my knowledge) and if it's ever been aired on TV it was probably prior to VCRs becoming widespread. I'd assume there are bootlegs floating around somewhere if you look hard enough. If you're ever in NYC or LA both locations of the Museum of Television...

Sorry! But all the info was contained at the links I posted...I imagine it will be repeating sometime soon.

We're heading in to serious Star Wars geek territory with this, but I saw it elsewhere on the web and wanted to share: Here's what you do... Take the first 3 letters of your last name. The first 2 letters of your first name. The first 2 letters of your mothers' maiden name. And the...

It's happening April 1 - 4. Looks like interesting stuff. Here's the details: PuppetLOVE! experimental political & emerging puppetry April 1-4, 2004 http://www.zeitgeist.net/wfca/PL2004.htm PuppetLOVE! is back! Now in our seventh year, we present two packed evenings of diverse puppetry...

Hollyfair, I presume that by "senior trader" you're refering to me...and I kinda resent the the comment that I "took real advantage." We didn't arrange a trade, but as I said I was happy to make a copy for you (which I have) on condition that it could take me several weeks as I tend to get...

Off the top of my head, I would try cutting different triangle shapes and try folding or bending them and then gluing the edges down to the mouthplate.

I was just buggin' `ya. ;)

:cool: Thanks Scooter - I've been setting up a blog roll for my site and was putting your LiveJournal on it, but I didn't realize it was you for some reason. Do you do live shows or work more with video?

Yeah, these cartoons are hilarious! The animator posted a little hand drawn comic recently at http://www.livejournal.com/community/potterpals/8206.html#cutid1

If you mean the .pdf files, you need Adobe's Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. Nick Barone actually has a link to it posted halfway down the page but here it is: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html

LOL I love how the words "fairly public struggle..." are used - make the poor person feel even worse!! :zany:

Just wondering - in part for something I am working on - what is everyone's favourite Bert and Ernie sketches? Why? Thanks.

Just to prove Murphy's Law was in full effect...I couldn't even post to the blog last night because of computer problems. Going out of town for the weekend, but I'll have stuff posted Monday or Tuesday...

Usually if you design a character you own the copyright. If the builder does than they own it unless they agree otherwise. Normally if you want the copyright and didn't design the puppet you have to pay what's called a "buy out" fee for the rights. The amount of the fee is usually negotiated...

Not gonna make it. :( I got hit with some unexpected "real work" and haven't even started patterning his fleece out (it's 10:40 pm right now). It was still an interesting experiment. I'll post pics of what ever I get done tonight before I got to bed. I'm out of town over the weekend, but I'll...

I laughed myself silly when I read this post in Peter David's blog. I posted some comments about it and the resulting discussion. If you're sensitive about people making fun of lovable `ol Ernie I wouldn't recommend reading it. (Peter is of course a well-known author of Science Fiction books...

If it's a generic "person puppet" you can probably purchase a pattern through a one of several companies. Search the forum for "puppet building pattern" and you should find threads with all the necessary info.

Well, "Diva" is a generic term. You could probably get away with it (although you're better off with your own original name) as long as the puppets don't look like Steve's. "Big Bear" is polar bear-esque character I've had a trademark on for ten years. Axtell brought out there own "Big Bear"...

Hey eveyone, Most of you probably know Axtell Expressions - and if you don't check out www.axtell.com - and I hadn't been to their site in awhile but Steve Axtell sent me a link with a ton of their new puppets. Check it out at http://www.axtell.com/new.html They have a good deal running...
