He seems like a very nice gentleman, should one wish to seek him out. The history he offers is very interesting and somewhat more persuasive than what emerges in the brief article. Now, since YouTube has become so popular around here of late, let me post a link to a short video featuring the work of Brian Patterson and Heidi Wohlend of California. (They no longer perform together, to my knowledge.) Brian's Mr Punch puppet seems to be suffering from some kind of facial deformity, and he and Judy both evidently have Graves' Disease as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I5EzBjXzNU Hope you enjoy it-- Sean -----Original Message----- From: bdr1020-AT-hotmail.com To: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Sent: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 9:40 AM Subject: [Puptcrit] Punch's Medical Condition "The famous British puppet Mr Punch could have been made foul tempered as a result of a medical condition, according to new research." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/derbyshire/5315432.stm This is kinda weird, but I thought it was interesting.
