Not surprisingly, Top Dog’s confidence was renewed by the support of the two puppets. Yesterday he came out shouting “Vote for me, vote for me. I have the balls” and to proof it he rolled two juggling balls into the room. Mouse was not impressed and asked whether we shouldn’t be worried about what is going on. At least she is. She is very scared indeed! Though the majority of Dedes still don’t seem to take Top Dog seriously. I wonder if they all think he is simply a nutcase. The fronts are getting more defined though and both camps want more supporters.
It happened that it was very stormy yesterday, so the Dedes sent me into the studio to make a new puppet. I recorded a film to show how I do it. Okay, I cheated a little and I had the shape of the head prepared earlier, but you see how I put the skin on. Of course, I am not working that fast. To be honest, I am extremely slow.
(PS: Please don’t ask me what the cocoa powder is doing in the middle of the work bench. That is just dada.)
Even before the newbie had his final protective coat on he ran into trouble. He went to Devil and said “I need a gun.”
“What for?” asked Devil.
“To protect myself from all these weird Dedes!” was the answer
“But you are a Dede yourself!”
“But I am not weird!” he said adamantly.
Devil shook his head, put his hand on the new puppet’s shoulder and whispered in his ear, “oh boy, what you need is an open mind and a brain.”
On a different note, can anyone suggest a name for the new puppet?
