Do you have enough fur left for a frisky tail, they can add a lot to a dog performance. So cute, very professional.

Oooo! clowns creep me out too. But he is marvelous...for a clown. Love the box stage idea. I would call him Slappy, don't know why.  Or maybe Trippy with those big old shoes.

Man those are awesome, the sounds and small movements make them seem so real.

You do it all so good.  I love both the voices and their distinct personalities, just perfect banter. We are always complaining about the football announcing during the games, you are much better.

So if you did both puppets and they used their hands too, you must have done them separately and edited them together.  Looked really good and seamless like they were done at the same time.  Really cool idea, I bet those cops did love it, hope it generates some more donations.

Na sorry you are having a rough time. Wish we could have tea and encourage you.  I have no clue on marketing, I do not try to make a living with puppets, but I admire those of you that have that opportunity and wish you great success. I have noticed that other personalities have helped me "sell" my creative ideas and "products" getting others to use them (not for money). I think we all need each other and our differences to get problems solved and do great things that we could not do alone.  But sometimes it is rough working with people that are so different than you.  The key for me has been finding someone who catches my dream and that we both respect the other's differences. I hope you can find a partner that will see your value and desperately need something you can do for them too. Do what you love, make something wonderful out of nothing, someone will love it too.

I want to see how he is going to "fry" chicken on a grill?  Your voice and timing are very good.
New show, "No, you shut up" Posted in New show, "No, you shut up" on Nov 16, 2013
New puppet show on television, Fusion network, "No, you shut up" with comedian Paul Thompkins.  We saw two episodes and they were so funny.  I love the Buzzard, and the "elephant in the room". It is like a news show but off the wall. I don't know how Paul keeps a straight face with that dialogue.  

I found this link of interview where they have a short clip at 3:44, about 3/4 of the way thru the interview  (not the best clip). They said it was 9:30 on Fridays, we happened upon it in the morning Nov. 11th I think. I remember the credits saying Henson Alternative.
