Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Weight Watchers "Hungry" character



I completely agree with Mathieu on how the puppet works, especially the hands. My wife and I keep commenting on how much he reminds us of Gossamer (The orange furry monster on the Bugs Bunny cartoons.) Sometimes Gossamer is drawn with hands. All this puppet needs are sneakers and he would be a dead ringer.
