Thanks Fred.  
You get it. Hope it make an impact.  
There was just a puptcrit letter directing us to a website with such "cute  
puppets."  And there they were.  Malformed, inbred Muppet copies. It's  fine if 
someone wants to make them, and fine if she thinks they are  "cute."  It's 
fine if someone wants to buy them. But feeling a bit like  Cassandra here,  
"CAN'T YOU SEE THE LACK OF ANY LEVEL OF ABILITY IN THESE  LUMPS?"  The great Paul 
Ashley was once asked (in 1976) what he sees as a  big issue in puppetry today 
and he said "lack of good craftsmanship."  I  certainly agree, but that's 
only one ingredient in the recipe of a gourmet  meal.  Puppetry is that and more.
