If I don’t, you’ll strike?

Strong union that! Almost as tough as the Teamsters — just ask Biden. You know, the Prez.

Even hand puppets don’t work cheap.

Can you tell the puppet to put a sock on it?

I wouldn’t talk tough to a guy that could take you off his hand at any second!

Maybe they can go over to JUMP START and put on a show in the bathtub.

Sweet little Mimi.

Uh, so Jimbo has conversations with his puppet? That’s a little disturbing. I don’t remember Rose and Vicki ever sitting down to talk something out.

He has a point – he could have been playing a gig at the local Children’s Hospital…

Tugs at my heart. As a small boy I recall doing puppet, magic, and Magic Lantern shows for my (large) family. Eventually, I grew up, married, and had kids of my own. Both of them had (and have) vast imaginations regarding possibilities for entertainment sketches and skits.

They still put on entertainment shows and other things of the sort. My daughter does hers in business, as sales presentations. Son is both a professional stand-up comedian and also a Renaissance actor.

Now it’s my grandson’s turn. He’s absorbed the skills – and we’re just waiting quietly to see what he does with them.
