Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] 12 Best Puppets Ever?


My personal top 12 Puppets

1. Mr. Riley, my 1st sock puppet (made by my mother)

2. Bulbous, 1st 16' giant, much too heavy, puppet we made for our 
summer outdoor parades & shows

3. Mr. Lunch (our variation on Punch, Mr. Lunch beat the heck out of 
junk food puppets for our "Lunch & Foodie" puppet show)

4. Mr. Twinkie (one of the villains/victims from "Lunch & Foodie", who 
when whacked by Mr. Lunch's bat/spoon shot white filling =96 actually 
shaving cream from a pressurized can inside the puppet=96 to the howling 
delight of young and old audience members)

5. Punch the Red (The San Francisco Mime Troupe creation)

6. Mother Earth & Dr. Plutonium =96tie=96 (from our environmental show "Dr. 
Plutonium's Energy Circus!")

7. Any and all of BREAD & PUPPET THEATER'S puppets.

8. The giant puppets in Provisional Theatre's "Voice of the People"

9. Ken Feit's tiny origami/gum wrapper puppet

10. Paul Zaloom's object puppets

11. The grotesque muppets that appeared on the early Saturday Night 
Live TV show (like Scred and Ploobis)

12. Unadorned left & right hands having a conversation before a live 
audience.
