That's pretty much the idea. They're alot like the Disney or WB stores, fairly well-layed out and well-merchandised. On the subject of web comics, I admire anyone who's dedicated to do one. I started one late last year after reading Scott McCloud's Reinventing Comics (a pretty cool book for...

Although there may have been the odd exception, Jim and Jane Henson performed all the puppets on "Sam and Friends." Originally the show had no live sound or voices, the puppets simply lip synced to popular songs. Later on Jim began writing sketches and (based on all the clips I have ever seen)...

Who knows? You should send them an email...

Hey Jamie, I just checked out your site and your work is awesome - I especially love the graphite Muppet sketches. What are you doing these days? Besides those snazzy MuppetCentral menus....

I never knew about the Sesame Street General Stores (guess they never made it to Canada) but I don't think it's the same retail concept (though they're obviously similar). The Sesame Stores in Japan are run by a chain that usually operates several "character-branded" stores in the same Mall...

Does anyone know anything about this company in NYC? I believe they did work on Book of Pooh.

Another puppetry opportunity, this one's in Philly: We're looking for a puppeteer based in Philadelphia to operate a polyfoam hand puppet for a music video shoot. We will be filming at various locations in Philadelphia. The tentative shoot dates are May 31, June 1 and June 2. The puppeteer...

This is from The Puppetry Homepage Classifieds in case there is anyone near NYC who's interested: I'm a filmmaker from Long Island and intersted in making a film which stars a puppet. It will be shot in video and film. I am looking to talk with interested puppeteers, who can tell me about...

It's probably not officially part of the park yet so it's not on the site. Luckily it will open in time for my next visit....btw, did you guys know they have entire stores devoted to Sesame Street in Japan? On my last trip there I saw one in Kobe and it was great, tons of stuff you don't see...

I know that MacFab in Toronto, Canada carries both of these (or recently did - if they are out they could order it for you likely). You should call them up, I don't have the number handy but directory assistance could get it for you. They are pretty cool people, and though they aren't really a...

This is a neat, important question I have been wondering about - it's probably been addressed in the past - but I was wondering how big MuppetCentral is (i.e. how much space does it take up on it's server?). What is the cost of running it monthly/annually and who pays for it? (please tell me...

Thanks for the info!

I bought it the day it came out too (I was trading in a bunch of old books and used store credit to buy it) and zipped through it on the subway ride home. It's a great book and a must for any serious Muppet/Sesame fan. The only thing I was left wondering was why the book was presented as a...

I know this topic has been covered off many times in old threads (so you may want to do a search) but in general what you need to know is: 1) They don't hire people under 18 2) To apply you have to submit a demo reel or a tape you make with a camcorder showing your puppeteering skills. If...

Now THAT'S a great line! :p

I was really in love with this show when it came on which (despite my love of similar-themed 80s teen movies) is unusual. I liked the early years because it had more of Kevin Williamson's (who is a great writer) personal stamp on it I suspect. TBS recently did this insane four-episode-a-day...

Although I'd love to see "Cheapest" made more than any other of the Muppet Movie ideas we've heard about, I think it would be great! I think less important than the premise of the next Muppet Movie is the fact that they make one - whether it's for TV or theatre just to do something and make sure...

Clay should win, but I predict that Ruben WILL win. How was the final showdown? I missed it because I was watching the Buffy finale.

Free? I knew there were discounted trips `cause of the SARS scare, but free?? Anyhow, it's at MacFab on Queen West. They have tons of cool furs and fabrics.

I'm also a big fan of Louise and on a Louise Gold-related subject, has anyone seen 'Louise Gold ...by Appointment'? It's her one woman show and she does various bits from productions she's been in including numbers from G&S, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, The Muppets and Spitting Image. Her...
