“Puppet Court” is an honest to Maude technique a local news station in Ohio is using to report on a corruption trial. I don’t know whether to be delighted or horrified.
This is the first of three pieces I did for the upcoming show “The Lovers, The Dreamers, And Me - A Jim Henson Tribute Exhibition.” at Gallery Nucleus.
Really pumped with how it came out and really excited to be a part of this show. Judging by the pieces I’ve already seen, it is going to be a doosey!
The show opens December 10th, at 7:00pm.
Beautiful. Also roughly how I felt when ghost-writing for the head of the Henson Foundation.
I’ve had many words to describe Lily Tomlin in my arsenal to date (sharp, hilarious, sassy, the best, etc), but this is the first time I can honestly add “adorable.” I guess muppets have a way of bringing that out of people… goodness she was young and gorgeous, wasn’t she.
Puppets are getting SSMarried! What’s next, cartoon characters and Teletubbies? This is the slippery slope, my friends.
(Congrats to the happy couple from Avenue Q, for realsies.)
This is kind of incredible in just how far beyond the pale the authors are willing to venture. Among the list of wrong-doings attributed to the educational muppets are showing Grover “breaking bread with a hippie” (shock! horror! no one should eat with dirty people who make different lifestyle choices than each other!) and having the temerity to depict nontraditional families (like ones who have divorced or live with grandparents) because we all know those families should be ostracized and the kids made to feel like freaks if we want to turn them into productive citizens.
If ideas like finding peaceful solutions to conflicts, being good to the environment, and respecting ways of life different from our own are now the pinko leftist agenda, I guess these commentators are right… but what else would we put on children’s television? And where was the episode in which “Sesame Street taught ethnic minorities about civil disobedience”??? I want to watch that one immediately.

Not that all the commentating on this wasn’t worthwhile, but I am mostly interested in this shirt. And it being on my person immediately.
