Who or what is Del Zivic?

[EmmyMik]

So I'm looking at this non-comprehensive Richard Hunt character list that the JHC archives people sent me way back in November, and I see "Del Zivic".

Now it's not listed under a show like Placido Flamingo is under "Sesame Street", it's just kind of out there. So I'm feeling kind of stupid, because I have no idea what this means. You'd think it would be listed under some sort of show, but no. I have to figure this one out...

(BTW, if anyone cares, I am gettin' ready to do an update on "Your Face!", I just have no idea when I'll be able to update the thing)

...and if anyone cares, nevermind.

My team of investigators (Warrick and Joggy) figured it out...

I'd kinda like to know what it is? It sounded like a car to me, but I know that's wrong.

Actually Del Zivic is a person. A person person. Not Muppet person.

Our theory is that Del Zivic is the guy that Richard played in "Puppetman"...

Did you notice that backwards it almost spells Civilized? What was Puppetman about, could this be something like Yensid in Fantasia?

Puppetman was a sitcom pilot, and it starred Fred Newman and Richard Hunt as puppeteers on on a children's show.

I've never seen it (just the clip that Henson.com used to provide)...
