Meet My Puppets: Royal (Roy) The Pongo

 

Meet Roy The Pongo, he's one of my favorite puppets. Roy comes from The Puppet Company.

You probably won't be surprised. Roy, likes bananas.

Do you have any bananas?

I might just do a video with Roy. Not sure what about. Won't be a review type video. Perhaps just a walk around, observational sort of video?

He makes for a great puppet, because he's very loose, which makes him articulate and gives him life - Though it does prove a problem when he's not is use. 

One thing. He has actual Ape proportions:

Long arms and short legs, which make him interesting to handle.

Alf and TX Critter

 

Paul Fusco, creator of Alf aka Gordon Shumway the lovable cat-eating alien from Melmac graduated from my high school, Hamden High School [MOM]. 

But before Alf, he gave local CT kids something which impacted me.

TX Critter, is likely the proto-Alf, and I can say I have fond memories of him as a kid hosting afternoon cartoons: GI Joe, Transformers and the like. 

 

More fondly, I even met TX Critter on two occasions. Once when my aunt's Junior's Women's Club invited Kidstime Express to a local town event, and once in studio, where we got to watch the show live!

Fire and Ice - Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta [Movie Poster]

 

OK. Its not a book cover, exactly but I would say it is pulpish. The Italian poster for Ralph Bakshi, and Frank Frazetta's movie Fire & Ice!
