Lady Zannah asks "Who are the Puppet Masters of Bisbee?" Who is Bisbee's Buffalo Bob, Edgar Bergen, Gippetto, Jim Henson and Shari Lewis?

Well, if we look at the different puppets, we should be able to pick out the puppeteers.

Definitely all the sock puppets on Topix must belong to Shari Lewis. Wasn't she famous for lambchop and other sock puppets?

Then the marionettes are more of the Buffalo Bob of Howdy Doody type. Those are the more distant type of puppet. More a product of a lot of string pulling.

The lap puppets must be all the lesser hanger on's. The Henson and Edger Bergen type puppet.

As for Gipetto.... hmmmm. That is a person who created a puppet then gave it autonomy or simply wanted a real little boy. Who might have done that?

Sandy 'Gipetto' Upson comes to mind and of course Toxic Offender as Pinocchio. Lady Zannah is conflicted because Toxic Offender could easily pass for Howdie Doo Doo.

HOLY SMOKE!

Who are puppets and who are puppet masters? I have a feeling the roles sometimes change.

Just what kind of puppetmasts are we talking about; string pullers, ventriloquists, or the old arm up the back type?
