An oxymoron to consider...

Drew this up while listening to a Sid and Marty Krofft interview on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast.

Fishing

Obvious joke.

Mr. Caffeine

Commission from puppeteer Buddy Estey, who produces his own puppet-hosted web series called MR. CAFFEINE. The coffee-hyper host of the series is pictured below.

The old cat and …mouse? game.

Just Can't Shake It Off

Every profession has its practical jokers.

Stereotyping In Puppetry

Profiling happens in every profession, on every social level.

Cheater

Some people will take short cuts in ANY profession…

Glove and Boots: Johnny T's Hangover

Fanart based on the GLOVE AND BOOTS puppet troupe. Their videos are on YOUTUBE and I HIGHLY recommend them. They do hilarious pop culture takeoffs and music videos.

Snake Puppeteers

World Puppetry Day 2016

A tribute to all the practitioners of this classic art form.

When Puppeteers Have Children

I admit this is based on theory. But I wouldn't be surprised if this was a common occurrence.

A Public Service Announcement From Baskerville the Hound

Baskerville was a muppet originally partnered with Rowlf the Dog for Purina Dog Chow commercials. This is based on one of those commercials during which he prefers eating asparagus over dog chow. Maybe his veterinarian made him vegetarian.

Dirty Frank

I was responding to a post about early PBS, and this character somehow popped in my head. This is DIRTY FRANK, the sole puppet character that appeared on a locally produced TV series (WZBZ channel 5, Boston) called JABBERWOCKY. I think Frank was meant to be like a combination of Oscar and Big Bird, as he was the cheery child-like character, but he lived in a chimney, (on set, not a roof) never bathed and liked filth, and spoke with a deep, gruff voice. This is how I remember him looking.

Conditioned Performance

When puppeteers wear full-body costumes, the weight of the suit isn't the only problem they have to deal with…

Popeye Tries Puppetry

The Audition

Some people think that certain jobs are just TOO easy….
