As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was very into puppetry when I was a child. I can still remember that smell of rubber that wafted up when I opened the box of a newly acquired GUND puppet. It was quite intoxicating, though that high was probably heightened by my excitement. I had scores of puppets, both store bought and handmade. My enthusiasm for puppets began to wane a bit during adolescence, the victim of hormones and fragile ego. Too many people equated puppets with playing with dolls.

Posted above are two puppets I reacquired at some point in a futile attempt to recapture some of that innocent glee. Well, not completely futile.
