HAND PUPPETS

Andrew Young's PuppetVision Blog has pointed out this website listing dozens of vintage cartoon character hand puppets. Making three dimensional figures out of flat cartoon characters was not as refined an art back then as it is today - thus we mainly ended up with deformed versions of our favorite animated pals as puppets and dolls. This website provides a good overview. The two pictured above (TV's Koko the Clown and Katnip) are better than average - go to the website to see a very depressing Droopy, Little Roquefort and Mr. Jinks.
